Jim shows that Genesis & science can be reconciled. He addresses many issues and gives much food for thought. The last reviewer obviously didn't read the book, because the book is against evolution. That reviewer was an obvious young-earth seminar writer. Books like Jim's or Hugh Ross' "The Genesis Question" answer evolution and show science and the Bible agree. Books by Ken Ham, et. al., do not. They only embarass Christians by adhering to the pseudoscientific young-earth belief. Sketpics like to say, "Why should we trust their evolution writings when they adhere to ridicoulous young-earthism? If young-earthism is true, then the Bible is false!" It's time young-earthism went the way of the dinosaurs.

Jim Schicatano does a detailed study of the Genesis creation week to determine if it is at odds with science. It is not. He breaks down each day and addresses common issues, objections and ideas raised by each. Including how to translate the days of Genesis. His accurate study leads him to conclude that the days should be literally translated as ages. A wealth of information and a good companion to such books as "The Genesis Question" by Ross and "Encountering the Book of Genesis" by Arnold.

Look like what I ordered. Haven't read it all yet. Looking forward to it.

If you want to read about how to squeeze the worldly view of creation into the Bible, this is the book for you. Darwin would be very proud of this book. Jim, like most people, completely ignores the scientific facts that disprove evolution.

If you want to read about the Biblical account of creation, and the science that the news media ignores, get "The Lie: Evolution" by Ken Ham.
