Does anybody know who Gerald L. Schroeder is? I’ve just read his “The Science of God.” He’s also written “Genesis and the Big Bang.” He argues that the six days of creation are literal 24 hour days AND that the 15 billion years of our earth’s history fit into those six days. Very interesting.
quote:
To measure the age of the universe, we look back in time. From our perspective using Earth-based clock’s running at a rate determined by the conditions of today’s Earth, we measure a fifteen-billion-year age. And that is correct for our local view. The Bible adopts this Earthly perspective, but only for times after Adam. The Bible’s clock before Adam is not a clock tied to any one location. It is a clock that looks forward in time from the creation, encompassing the entire universe, a universal clock tuned to the cosmic radiation at the moment when matter formed. The cosmic time-piece, as observed today, ticks a million million times more slowly than at its inception.
Hmmmm. Oh, yeah. About J. Polkinghorne. What title should I start with? He has several.
