Seven Glorious Days - Karl W. Giberson - Bog

How would Genesis read if it were written today? This provocative work recasts the ancient Genesis creation story within the framework of contemporary science. Seven Glorious Days takes readers on a grand ride through the history of the universe--from the big bang, to the origin of stars and planets, to the appearance of living creatures bearing the image of God and living in community. "Karl Giberson has made wise and creative use of his skills as both a scientist and a sophisticated student of biblical religion in this well-informed, theologically sensitive introduction to the wonders of creation.">"Giberson's ability to translate the complex insights of physics, cosmology, and biology into terms that ordinary Christians can grasp is matched only by his ability to express deep religious convictions in simple and direct language." >"Insightful, informed, playful, stimulating, and impressive, Giberson argues convincingly that the earth is not a mere blue dot in the vast emptiness of space, but the most astonishing known seat of creativity and information.">Karl Giberson teaches science and religion at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts. He is a popular speaker who has lectured at many institutions around the world including The Vatican, Oxford University, Brigham Young, the Venice Institute, London's Thomas More Institute, and MIT. His work has appeared on NPR and in the New York Times and USA Today. He is the author or co-author of nine books on science and religion, including Saving Darwin: How to Be a Christian and Believe in Evolution.
