Publisher's Synopsis
Robert Twigg first became interested in human history and the earth sciences in 1964 after having taken anthropology at Western Washington State University. Those studies led him to examine the comparative Biblical account of creation. For years, these two disciplines seemed very much at odds. Now his book The Puzzle Keeper presents the fascinating result of his quest to justify one or the other of these two accounts. The answers he found were unlike those that came before him, and they challenge all of us to revisit our understanding of the universe, the origin of life, and why we are here. Twigg takes you along on his own personal journey of discovery. Starting with a simple premise the story unfolds with surprising clarity. From the beginning of our universe to the existence of life on earth, he transports you through thirteen billion years of evolution and into the future and the very reason for our existence. Surprisingly, this story was told centuries ago by an ancient nomadic people and has remained challenged, but unchanged, for centuries. Through the ages, writers were powerless to change it-so they invented an allegory to make sense of it. Now, in the 21st century, we discover the story was chronologically and materially correct. The story that is ultimately uncovered may surprise even the most skeptical of readers. Your journey through The Puzzle Keeper will ask you to search your own beliefs and, at the very least, cause you to think about how you have come to your conclusions. The result of years of in-depth research, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew.
