Creation or Chaos

Nothing captures the minds of human beings more than the question of where we came from. The oldest writings ever uncovered have dealt with that issue, and it is no exaggeration to say the question still causes heated debate today. In our era of scientific inquiry, the majority view insists everything is the result of eons of chance interplay between physical forces and random collisions between various atoms and molecules—all with no design or purpose, just the happenchance of blind natural processes.

About Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis: Explore the Science and Miracles of Creation

Unlock the Mysteries of Faith and Science

Have you wondered how the creation story in Genesis fits with the evolutionary theories of popular science? You're not alone. Many Christians wrestle with the seeming disparity between faith and science. They want to believe the inerrancy of Scripture, but it's difficult to reconcile the two.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis seeks to resolve this conflict by answering key questions about the origin of human life, the evidence left by the fossil record, and how the findings of science line up with the Bible.

Using the most current research and data, this visually stunning book takes readers on a journey that explores the wonders of God's creation through the lens of faith-based science that clearly points to the authenticity and accuracy of the biblical creation account. The compelling evidence you'll find as you study both Genesis and science will challenge your intellect and reinforce your faith.
