This short book will appeal to those who have difficulty with the Hebrew creation story found in the first three chapters in the book of Genesis, as well as those who ask the question: where did the universe and modern humankind come from? If the Hebrew creation story was inspired by God, then it should bear some resemblance to the modern scientific understanding of the origins of the cosmos and the modern Homo sapiens; if it does not, then basic biblical truths have to be questioned.
The Hebrew creation story, which was not divinely dictated, is treated solely as an ancient timeless scientific road map founded on the science of that time. The story has been revisited based on our understanding of today’s science, which suggests prior information had been released three times into the creation: 1} giving rise to the universe, 2} the first living cell and 3} the transformation of the Homo sapiens to modern Homo sapiens.
This book offers an intriguing and fascinating way of relooking at the Hebrew creation story that bears a resemblance to our understanding of modern scientific ideas.
