The GENESIS of LIFE is now available from Koorong

Alan Marshall, one of our Sydney Chapter members here, has just published a book called The Genesis of Life. It's a friendly and easy read so if your not scientifically minded, you will still very much enjoy it. Alan has gone to a lot of trouble to make this work very accessible.

 

I highly recommend this book to add to your list of apologetics reading. All the details are below.

 

Friends,


My new book, THE GENESIS OF LIFE: A PATHWAY FOM SCIENCE TO FAITH,

Synopsis


The book aims to engage anyone with an interest in science and faith as it explores not only the origin of life, but the full range of nature's "big questions".


My starting point is that all life is based on information. By quantifying the amount of information needed for the simplest possible organism to grow and reproduce, I demonstrate that this is vastly more than could conceivably arise by random chance. Just as a computer program infers the existence of a programmer, so the elegance and mind-boggling complexity of DNA, and the biochemical machinery it creates, point to a creative intelligence.


Who is this creator? My book suggests he is the one known in the Bible as "I AM who I AM". I seek to lead the reader, assisted by scientific evidence and a series of logical propositions, down a pathway to a deeper faith. How far that pathway is travelled is up to each reader to decide.

Navigating Genesis: Hugh Ross

A Scientist’s Journey through Genesis 1–11 
 
“Everyone knows the Bible teaches scientific nonsense”—that’s the commonly held misconception. When pushed for examples, skeptics point to the early part of Genesis, with stories of creation, the flood, and 900-year life spans as “proof.”

Examining recent scientific discoveries, astronomer and pastor Dr. Hugh Ross explores the opening chapters in Genesis and shows how they hold some of the strongest scientific evidence for the Bible’s supernatural accuracy. Navigating Genesis expands upon Ross’ earlier book The Genesis Question (1998), integrating the message of both the Bible and science—without compromise—giving skeptics and believers common ground for dialogue.

I've just received my copy of Navigating Genesis in the mail and I am very keen to read it. It was only released a few weeks ago. I read The Genesis Question by Dr Ross about five years ago and it was very well written and researched. Navigating Genesis now updates The Genesis Question with even more up to date research. I recommended The Genesis Question to many of my friends over the years. Navigating Genesis, I have no doubt, will also become highly recommended.
