It cannot be disputed that one of the most controversial topics to have graced discussion tables since the dawn of time has to be the story of the creation of the Earth. There are so many different stories out there that you can literally take your pick. When it comes to the learned scholars amongst us there are two stories that stand out way above the others. On one hand there is the seven day creation story that the religiously inclined accept and on the other hand there is the Big bang theory that holds sway with those of a scientific persuasion. Which leads us to the burning topic; is there a way we can correlate both stories into a single one that can be accepted by both schools of thought?

The Biblical Clock is a book written by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon which makes a bold attempt at doing exactly that. It combines a vast array of both biblical and scientific evidence to present a case that this line of thought may be more than wishful thinking.

The use of historical stories laced with core facts is one of the aspects of the book I particularly like. There is tabular data interlaced with gripping stories which are used to pull a reader into the atmosphere of those strange times. There is quite a lot of reference to the bible and the Jewish Torah in the book but then it is a good thing and should be expected if one must make a case for a common ground between science and religion. The language used in the book is simple enough for readers who are not so versed in the history of the controversy to follow and that is a nice consideration on the part of the authors.

There is nothing to dislike in this book as it is full of facts and figures which are guaranteed to pique a reader's imagination.

This book would appeal to non-fiction readers as the information in it is still a burning topic in the modern day. Readers of a scientific orientation would also be interested in the information this book has to offer.

The Biblical Clock is a book with a topic that is guaranteed to intrigue any reader. The authors have put in a commendable amount of effort into the research in this book and the lack of errors in the book goes a long way to show the professional editing involved in the book. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
