Science and Genesis

Is the Book of Genesis in the Bible true?\nThe findings of modern science appear to contradict some of the stories found in Genesis, so much so that even some Christian leaders question whether Genesis should still be regarded as part of God's revelation of himself and his plan for humankind.\nIn this book, long-standing and experienced scientist Neville Piper examines Genesis in the light of current scientific knowledge in fields as diverse as cosmology, biochemistry, geophysics, archaeology, palaeontology and linguistics to:
discriminate between mythology and the possible historicity of people and events;
and
understand what God is seeking to teach us through both historical fact and symbolism.\nIn the process, he finds that science is able to clarify our understanding of many stories (such as the Great Flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah) and even helps us towards resolving some doctrinal issues (such as free will versus predestination).
