Review of The Biblical Clock
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Biblical Clock" by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon.]
Which is it? Oh, you're probably wondering what the question was all about. Well, it's the origins of the universe. Scientists tell us that the universe and all that we know started with a Big Bang. The theologians tell us it is all depicted in the creation story of Genesis. So, which is it? It is amazing that the timelines given by both schools differ greatly. These tend to create more problems and questions instead of solving them.
In The Biblical Clock, Daniel Friedman and Dania Sheldon come up with a different approach based on their own research. They say that it is neither science alone nor theology alone that is right. They propose that both science and religion are right and complement each other. According to them, science and religion are both accountable for the formation of all that exists. They also propose that the history of the earth, its beginning and ending, is embedded in the Bible. And that, with careful study, the universe's end can be accurately predicted. The authors hope that this thesis will help bridge the gap between atheists and believers. They hope that this will create a unified explanation of the universe's origins.
The Biblical Clock is made up of 12 chapters divided into 3 parts. I liked how the authors used images and maps to explain their beliefs and findings. I particularly liked the picture of the Hubble telescope. It was breathtaking. The authors used very easy-to-understand terminology. This made the book easy to read, even if one is not well-versed in science or religion. They made sure to fully describe any foreign words used. Another beautiful thing the authors did was to let us know that this work does not in any way discredit other bodies of knowledge. This made me feel safe, knowing that the authors weren't trying to impose their own points on me.
I didn't really dislike anything about the book. The book was well organized and written. Some people may find the authors' prediction of the end of the world a little bit too much. But for me, it was cool. Chapter 10 was intriguing, to say the least. The authors wrote about the possible things that could happen at the end of time. This was purely fiction and really showed the authors' ability to do well in non-fiction and fiction writing.
The Biblical Clock gets four out of four stars from me. This is because the book is a good read. It was well explained, and the authors didn't leave any vague terminology unexplained. They added a glossary at the back of the book to help with that. There were no errors in the book as it was exceptionally edited.
I would recommend the book to anyone who loves history, especially the history of the universe. People who care about the end-times predictions will also find this book interesting to read.
