Seven Glorious Days

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY JUL 9, 2012

Giberson (The Language of Science and Faith: Straight Answers to Genuine Questions) takes the reader through seven epochs of science stories. "The more we tie God's creative work to the ancient worldview in Genesis, the less likely people are to take the idea of a creator God seriously." He is not a skeptic, but firmly believes that science and faith can coexist in the modern world. The author explores the history of astrology, Enlightenment thinking, quantum physics, cellular biology, and neuroscience, reviewing changes in scientific paradigms. In this world, theologians live comfortably next to those who study evolution. Religion's first story told in the Bible shows God's fingerprints, but can be also be proved by a scientist along the way. The author would like to prove the existence of God by looking at the history of humankind and how humans think. While that does not prove the Big Bang theory, Giberson has a hunch that it is true. This is a delightful book of interest to anyone of faith who wants to see the Creation story in a whole new light.
