We live today in an age of secular science. Secular science seeks to edit the millennia-old truths about creation in God’s word, the Holy Bible. This editorializing on the Bible’s Genesis creation account has created a hybrid view of creation that satisfies no one. Those trusting primarily in the science perspective believe the world is ancient and developed by physical and biological processes of evolution. Those trusting primarily in the Holy Bible believe the world is young and created in every detail by God. Obviously, both perspectives on the age of the world cannot be correct!
Either the world is ancient, or it is young! You can’t have it both ways! In despair some default to the science perspective of ancient age and evolution. Others try to force compatibility by saying God used evolution over billions of years to create, but this contradicts the simple straightforward Genesis creation story. Others adopt the young earth creationist view and reject scientific explanations. None of these tactics really relieves the tension of the argument.
In this book the author shows how the dilemma may be resolved by examining a shared faulty presupposition of both perspectives. That presupposition is simply that the world we now live in, and the world described in the Genesis creation story, are one and the same world. Virtually everyone assumes that Genesis 1 & 2 describe the world we presently see around us. This book extensively examines biblical texts to suggest an alternative perspective that removes the argument. A brief sketch of Ralph’s perspective is found in this blog under the heading “Age of the World.” This book is a detailed fleshing out of that sketch and a defense of the Genesis creation account being about the creation of Paradise in God’s eternal presence before the foundation of this world we now occupy.
