Genesis and Science: Where is the Evidence Going?

by Leonard Brand

In Genesis and Science: Where is the Evidence Going? Leonard Brand challenges the reader to approach these polarizing subjects with an open mind and “to thoughtfully consider the options.”
Scientists who are willing to research the challenging questions are testing some of the bedrock assumptions undergirding the long held naturalistic theories of the evolutionary community.
Accumulating research, even in geology, is providing more evidence in favor of a biblical worldview, and the theory of biological macroevolution is facing deadly new challenges.

“Our faith is in the God of the Bible and is not dependent on scientific verification. But science has been bringing to light much new evidence that is encouraging to a Bible believer.”

All worldviews are based on one or more either assumptions. We might assume that there is a God or that there is no god, that life arose with or without intelligent design, or either that the universe came into being by itself or that God made it. None of these things, can be proved, so assumptions are always the basis of our worldview.

The problem with assumptions is that they tend to stand in the way of asking questions–questions that could alter our assumptions.

New Scientific research is testing some of the bedrock assumptions undergirding the long, held naturalistic theories of the evolutionary community.

Brendan
Brand’s book, Genesis and Science: Where is the Evidence Going?, covers a range of topics but essentially it comes down to one question: Does the evidence demonstrate the accepted interpretations of scientific minds in the world today, or could it support the Biblical worldview?
The interpretation of data that leads to scientific conclusions doesn’t happen simply by evidence alone, argues Brand. As with all worldview, “…even in science, assumptions rule!” – pg 23. This is a common theme throughout, as Brand challenges many of these assumptions that have guided the scientific worldviews related to evolutionary disciplines.
Throughout the book, Brand discusses various examples from geology, the fossil record and genetics, all of which can find cohesion with the Biblical account of Creation and the Flood, if we are willing to approach these topics with an open mind. He takes into account that there’s still a lot that we don’t actually know, and with that in mind, he encourages the reader to rely on the trustworthiness of God’s word and testimony. There is a lot of technical language used, and it can be difficult to fully comprehend if you’re unfamiliar with the terms, but with Brand’s background and academic qualifications, that’s to be expected.
For those who are looking for more information on how science and Creation can find harmony together, Genesis and Science: Where is the Evidence Going? is a worthwhile read.
