Does Science Confirm the Cosmic Events As Told in the Judeo-Christian

Bible (Chapter 7)Error! Bookmark not defined.
Chapter 7 Message: The many who defend the truths asserted in

the Christian Bible tend to rely on emotional and/or dogmatic
modes of defense, rather than on impartial empirically-based

and/or well-reasoned science-based or philosophical
argumentations. Perhaps this is because they either lack exposure
to, or are intimidated by, the new scholarly publications out of

science, even as their methodically-validated reports of those
revolutionary findings demonstrate how modern scientific findings

are increasingly corroborating the Biblical narratives about the
origins and early history of the creation of the universe, the Earth

and all creatures therein. They may be unaware of how scientists
have been able probe much farther into space and time, and much

deeper into the “nano-world” of the tiniest elements of physics,
chemistry and microbiology in just the last 95 years with the
arrival of new high-powered technological tools. This book is

intended to inform not only these Bible defenders, but ‘one and
all’ as well, that there are now sufficient scientific data that vouch

for the Biblical narrative about creation and an “old earth” (i.e., an
earth of millions of years old with man arriving 50,000 to 150,000

years ago), rather than a ‘no creation’ or a “young earth” (i.e., an
earth of about 6,000 years old) narrative. Error! Bookmark not

This convergence between science and the Bible, especially on the
latter’s claims about some metaphysical creator-being creating

the universe, our world, everything and everyone in it in six days
has proved too formidable even to such as the notable atheist

astronomer as Sir Fred Hoyle, a lifelong zealous opponent of
Christianity who spent two chapters of his book, “The Nature of

the Universe”, bashing the Bible and Christianity, but later, in the
same book, allowed for the following concession saying: “If one

proceeds directly and straightforwardly in this matter, without
