In a recent interview with a UK Newspaper Dr Andrew Parker, 41, a biologist at Oxford University stated in his latest book, The Genesis Enigma: Why The Bible Is Scientifically Accurate, that the story of Genesis matches the history of the universe so accurately it could only have been written with divine intervention.


Booktopia's description of his book on their website stated: “Owing to a reinterpretation of the earth's ancient rocks and fossils, and their comparison with animals today, our scientific understanding of the history of the earth and of life has become complete. The Genesis Enigma reveals that this scientific understanding corresponds precisely with the creation account in Genesis. This is an extraordinary parallel - nothing comparable has been discovered before. The solution is that the creation account is depicted as it is because this is, in fact, the true version of life's history."
“I don’t think I’ve proved the existence of God. I’ve proved there is space in the universe where God might exist.” Dr. Parker said.

When asked if this wasn’t another example of religion masquerading as science, he replied: “Absolutely not. I devoted most of my early career to science and leaned toward being an atheist. That’s changed during the writing of this book, which revealed surprising parallels between Genesis and the scientific history of the universe. Not only is the sequence of events in Genesis scientifically correct but some of the events themselves are really quite precise, which would have been impossible for a human to know at that time. You have to conclude that either the author made extremely lucky guesses or something strange was going on: divine inspiration.”

And when questioned if science and religion were irreconcilable, he said: “The atheist movement argues that with science there’s no more room for religion. So you either have faith in religion with no rational backing whatsoever or you follow science – and science dictates there’s no room for God, which isn’t true. There are things beyond our realm we can’t solve with science.”

What do you say? Is God’s way of creating the earth finally being recognised and the evolution just a myth? Have your say now in the forum.
