Publisher's Synopsis
The Bible is one of the most ancient of human records, so Genesis is relevant to men of every generation, particularly to the modern man, after all, the creation of the Universe and mankind are decidedly the main event and the most dramatic and scientific innovation of natural existence. The insights in this fantastic account are available for edification and enjoyment. God was very considerate to preserve this diary of events for mankind and therefore Bible students should drink deeply from its fountain of truths and records of beginnings. Genesis is a primitive text, yet it is profound and meaningful as it unfolds the history and eternal future of the human race. The staggering knowledge and details that God revealed to Moses at Mount Sinai were imparted to encourage all who seek eternal assurance and to reveal the absolute certainty that chance was never a component in God's redemption plan. Let me talk about consciousness: something that breathes and is aware of its existence because the great stars and galaxies in the universe have no consciousness of their existence. Science skirts around the issues and can explain the mechanics even down to the smallest molecules, but life and conscious life is still a phenomenon that flummoxes scientists; they just don't know. No doubt they will keep on investigating and searching for the genesis of life; in the meantime there is silence. So if I cannot get any suitable answers from scientists, to who or what shall I turn to for an alternative answer? Let's try the Bible and see what it says.
