ABSTRACT

The flow of data from the space-based Hubble telescope and its Earth-bound counterparts raises a barrage of questions. Skeptics and believers alike want to know if the biblical description of our cosmic origins can jibe with the scientific account of the Big Bang. How can 15 billion years of cosmology be squeezed into the six days of Genesis 1? And if the biblical calendar reports God created humans less than 6,000 years ago, how can Cro-Magnon Homo sapiens fossils be 50,000 years old?
