Understanding Creation articulates twenty questions about faith and science that Christians often encounter. The co-editors have assembled an international group of experienced scientists, researchers, and thinkers who provide thoughtful answers to these questions. They all share several convictions: the biblical record is an essential component of Christian doctrine; Christian faith and empirical science can work fruitfully together; and our comprehension of truth is progressive.

In keeping with the Scriptural witness and the theological heritage, this remarkable book examines the doctrine of creation alongside new creation. The connection between the two - creation and new creation - has drawn renewed attention in the last several decades; but the burden of Sean McDonough's argument is that this emphasis on creation and new creation has been a feature of the doctrine since the beginning, whether in the eschatological reading of Genesis 1 that predominated at least until early modern times, or the intertwining of the narratives of creation and redemption in thinkers from Irenaeus to Barth. Whilst covering the traditional elements of the doctrine, McDonough treats the important subject with a special emphasis on how these unfold in the story of what Gunton has called God's "creation project".

Creative illustrations and design make this retelling of the Creation story a perfect fit for young readers.

Our secular society wants to make us believe that the Bible represents only an irreconcilable conflict between "science and religion". This atheist worldview is suggesting a dispute between scientific facts versus a religious belief system. Nothing can be further from the truth, and we'll prove it.Incidentally, the proof of Bible's historical correctness is by far no more a scientific problem. This question has been decisively answered decades ago. What remains, is only the interpretation of scientific facts, depending on people's worldview.It is true that the Bible is not a "science book". At the same time, we are not aware of any evidence that the Bible contradicts the science. Actually, just the opposite. You'll see!The Bible does not explain everything, but its message is hundred percent compatible with natural laws, even though we don't understand many phenomena beyond our laws of nature. Maybe, according to our divine creator, we are not supposed to understand everything. Incidentally, scientists too can't explain thousands of phenomena not compatible with the laws of nature. Just one example: quantum physics. Actually, natural sciences have many more unexplainable problems than the Bible.Chapters1.Facts or fiction2.War of worldviewsChristian worldviewNon-believer worldviewDeceit everywhere3.What the Bible knew thousands of years agoAnthropologyAstronomyBiologyGeologyHydrologyMedical scienceMeteorologyOceanographyPsychology and human behaviorPaleontologyPhysics4.Darwin's fraud: The evolution theoryLife can't be generated from non-lifeLiving cell is much more complicated than a car factorySpecies don't evolve from one particular specie to a different oneNo "transitional" fossils ever found"Macro evolution" is just variationDarwin discounted the Cambrian explosion"Homology" does not existHumans did not evolve from apesDarwin's tree of life upside downWorst of the worst: Rejecting God5.Big bang is science fictionAstrophysics are unmistakable6.Astronomy confirms God's creationScientific facts nobody can deny7.Earth sciences tell everything you need8.Big flood reveals worldwide evidenceSigns of the big flood today9.Biology has the smoking gun10.Laws of nature annihilate the evolutionYou can't bend and distort the laws of nature11.Archeology confirms the BibleOver 25,000 archeological finds confirm the accuracy of the BibleCrucial Bible records confirmedMajor discoveries of the last few yearsDiscoveries that changed world history12.Bible prophecies fulfilledFulfilled prophecies about Jesus13.Why creation can only happen by intelligent designMarvelous human brainAstounding wonder of lightMiraculous "matrix of life"Magnificent airAstonishing carbonIrreplaceable special elementsNuclear and astronomical wondersStrong nuclear forceWeak nuclear forceElectromagnetic forceElectron-proton mass ratioGround state energy levelDecay rateNeutron and proton massPolarity of the water moleculeColor of the sunEarth distance to the sunEarth gravityOrbit inclinationSeasonal swing of our orbitRotation periodEarth magnetic fieldThickness of earth crustRatio of the reflected lightOxygen-nitrogen ratioCarbon dioxide level in atmosphereWater vapor level in atmosphereOzone level in atmosphereOxygen quantity in atmosphere14.Uniqueness of the human bodyMuscles and bonesHeartPulseLungsKidneysBloodSkinStomach RetinaHuman earNerve impulse15.The human factor16.Scientists against evolution theory
