The lines have been drawn. On one side are young earth creationists, who assert that God created the universe in six
days and—based on calculations derived from the Bible—that the earth is six thousand years old. On the
other side are secular scientists, who claim the universe has existed for over thirteen billion years, the earth for 4.5 billion.
Scientists claim that no miracles were necessary to form the universe, and that everything is explained by natural causes.
However, young earth creationists point to verses at the beginning of the Bible and the beginning of the book of John
that clearly claim that God created the universe.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over
the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.

Genesis 1:12

But what if there is no contradiction between scientific data and the Bible?

Arnold Guyot was a nineteenth-century geologist and geographer at Princeton University. In addition to his numerous
scientific accomplishments, he developed the day-age interpretation of Genesis 1, in which the "days" of creation
represent geologic ages. When we view the Bible through this lens, we find that modern science has not only failed to
refute the miracles of Genesis, but has in fact provided abundant evidence for their veracity.

Genesis Revealed: A Scientific Examination of the Creation Story takes readers down the twin paths of
science and theology to show that they lead us to the same destination. Citing a multitude of discoveries in astronomy
and geology, Dr. Peter Waller makes a compelling case for Guyot’s interpretation—and for the miracles described
in Genesis 1:125.
