5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, 25 April 2001
The ideas expressed in this book are well presented and explained, sometimes using clever annalogies and simple diagrams. It contains many concepts which will not be so easy to grasp, that's not just the Physics and Biology, but some of the biblical stuff also. Several reads are a must to get the most out of it.

The convergence with the 6 days of creation and the last 15billion years are shocking. Other surprises await the reader and one of the best things about the book is that it relies on old commentaries written long before current theories on cosmology and evolution came about.

By restricting himself (mostly) to these sources the author avoids what must be the all-too-easy trap of re-interpretting the bible to fit in with modern science. This is therefore a scholarly work and I recomend it to anyone with an open mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A revoultionary reconciliation of the Bible and science, 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Schroeder's work is the most readable and fascinating work yet on the many "coincidences" that made it possible for life to exist in the Universe. The reasoning is tightly constructed and some readers may want to backtrack to understand some of the key points more thoroughly. Others will want to read the book a scond time -as I did- simply for the sheer pleasure of the author's company. He makes some of the most profound ideas in cosmology, quantum mechanics and other areas of scientific enquiry accessible and, more importantly, enjoyable. This is a book that will change the way many readers see the Universe and the way that they contemplate the mystery of existence. This is a must-read!

1.0 out of 5 stars A book full of factual deceptions, and other stuff., 26 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Schroeder has a very unique approach to many things and relies on ancient mysticism (kabalah)to explain difficult biblical topics. However, there are some gigantic holes in his presentations. One: he discounts God's warning that on the day Adam eats of the tree of knowledge he will die. Since Adam lived to be 930 years old and did not die the instant he bit the "apple" God must have made a mistake in the text and Schroeder feels this to be an intentional contradiction designed to make us look deeper into the text. Posh! Schroeder should understand that this was the fall of mankind that God referred to, not Adams physical death. Another good example of his biblical expertice is on page 15 when he claimed that Abraham laughed when God told him that Sarah (should be Sari) would have a child. Sari was the one who laughed, not Abraham. Further, according to my study, Jesus was the creator not God the Father (John 1:1). So when Schroeder keeps complaining that God kept saying "It is good" and follows this with why didn't God know it was good all along. Well, God also said at Jesus' baptism, "This is my son in whom I am well pleased," --- didn't God know all along that Jesus was good. This seemed to be Schroeders basis for evolution, that is, evolution is ok since God did it, and then God found out later it was "good". Another hole: Schroeder very expertly creates the background for his 6 days of creation using Einstein's theory and procedes to actually designate the exact length of each of the six days of creation. Later he insists that evolution is correct and relies on random acts of nature to produce life. How can you present truely random acts within days which have very set and specific limits of time? The assignment of time limits to each day destroys the concept of random acts for creation. Schroeder also fails to realize that the first four days are not 24 hour days regardless if the earth is approaching the speed of light or not. The purpose of the first light "let there be light" was to "separate the light from the dark" only as clearly stated in Genesis. The mechanism for measuring the days, nights, seasons, and years did not happen until creation day four, when God set the sun and moon its its place. The biggest bobo is when Schroeder claims that other people lived around Eden and God selected one of the males to be Adam and breathed a soul into him. Then came Eve, but where did she come from? Obviously there was none good enough in the nieghborhood to be upgraded, so Schroeder would have to rely on what the Bible says -- that God tood a rib from Adam and created Eve. So we are to believe that Adam was an upgrade and Eve was created as a result of an immaculate creation??? Why would Adam have taken millions of mutations and millions of years to create when God created Eve momentairly from a rib??? A truely appalling concept occurs on page 141 wherein Schroeder claims that Adam and Eve separated and Adam had sex for 130 years with the local gals in the neighborhood (those without souls). After 130 years, Schroeder claims that since Adam again knew his wife, he had sex with her again and produced Seth. Bunk. This is pure fantasy. There are many more examples of "accomodation" in this book and it is my opinion that a person beginning his/her Christian walk should not be swayed by the deceptions within it. Although expertly written, the Bible warns us not to "run ahead" of scripture and Schroeder seems to be on a fast paced marathon well ahead of the Bible. As Phillip E. Johnson, author of Defeating Darwinism, stated, "Scientific theories rely on elaborate reasoning and rest on assumptions that are difficult or impossible to prove." Schroeder does just this and, in some areas, relys upon mysticism to clarify and support his ideas. In summary- read and believe the Holy Bible and rely on the Holy Spirit to lead you to all truth.
