The Broken Gift: Harmonizing the Biblical and scientific accounts of human origins (Inspired Studies Book 2) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780978457228)

The Broken Gift: How did we get here?Was Adam the first man? Was man created by divine act in less than one day almost 6,000 years ago, as the Bible suggests?Or did man appear 200,000 years ago as the culmination of numerous human-like species that existed during a span of millions of years, as the scientific record shows?Both cannot be right. Or can they? Imagine there exist manuscripts, written centuries ago, that could help us objectively decipher Genesis and thereby extract the timeline and key events recounting the appearance and early history of our species, Homo sapiens, precisely as identified by the latest scientific evidence derived from the fossil record and genetic studies.The Broken Gift carefully examines the relationship between scientific theory and Biblical teachings. The book approaches the human origins debate from a fresh perspective informed by both scientific and scriptural research. The author demonstrates alignment between key events and their dates relating to the appearance and early history of our species as described in Genesis chapters 1 through 11 (Adam, Adam's descendants, the Flood, and the fall of Babel) with those derived from scientific observation.Could both be true? Is the evidence solid or is it sophistry? You'll have to be the judge. Read The Broken Gift and join the conversation.
