Since we only have records from the Bible, many people may have been curious about how old the earth is. The authors of The Biblical Clock, Daniel Friedmann and Daniel Sheldon, conducted a thorough investigation to determine the actual age of the earth. The correct response from the time of creation may be found in the Book of Genesis. Bible scholars believed that the earth had been around for a thousand years. According to calculations made by scientists using fossils, the world is billions of years old. Now, the calculations made by the scientist and the Bible disagree.

The authors of this book are attempting to link scientific and biblical information. There were various historical and contemporary theological references and studies employed. In this manner, a reader might also reach conclusions. From Acre in the first chapter to Canada, Jerusalem, New York, and other nations, to name a few, this piece takes us around the world. Read this book to learn more about these discoveries as the authors make educated guesses about the age of the earth and the end of the world.

First of all, I appreciate the time and care the authors put into this. The novel has an easygoing tone and pace. It prevents readers from finding the story overly tedious. Even though some of the answers might sound odd, one could understand them with time and effort. I really like the authors' use of many teachings from various teachers. They didn't get right into their lessons. Before their research was mentioned, we were given a brief history of these individuals. It made these famous people seem more familiar to the readers.

Nothing in this book bothered me. I found it to be uninteresting at first, but when I learned some fascinating information, I became fascinated. I had not previously heard or considered the information on the days of creation. Furthermore, I've learned a lot more from this. A glossary is included at the end of the book to further the reader's comprehension. In some portions of the story, there are also images. About this, I give this 5 out of 5 stars. I'll admit that as they attempted to connect science and the Bible, I was almost persuaded, just not totally. But this doesn't deter me from giving this story its full rating.

During my reading, I detected no mistakes. That means the editing is perfect. Additionally, it does not contain vulgarity.

To theologians, I'll recommend this book. It can also be useful for those looking for more information concerning the age of the earth. Young adults who are usually intrigued by topics like these might find it appropriate as well. They will adore it. To their knowledge, this will be a fantastic addition.

"The Biblical Clock" by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon is an interesting book that attempted to predict the age of the earth with biblical backing. Great book!

For the authors to have presented facts and data in defense of such a complicated issue, they must have done extensive research. Your review has made me develop an interest in the book already.

This fact about the book intrigued me. I'd like to know how the author backs it up and combine the information with science and the Bible. It reminds me of the book, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow by PD Botha, the information about this book with regards to science. Looking forward to this one! Wonderful review!

The storyline is quite controversial on some levels. This is because the authors ascertained that the Bible omitted some details about the creation and on top of this assumption still believes some of the information isn't correct. Your review is well-written.

I have been reading many reviews about this book. I can see that the authors are philosophical and I am awestruck of their effort and efficiency in making their argument about the correlation between science and religion.

I really don't know what to think about this book. I always love a Christian book, this book seems like one but at the same time doesn't. Nice review though.

This book sounds really interesting! I love how the authors combined scientific and biblical information to come up with their own conclusions. It's great that the book is written in an easygoing tone, and that it also includes images and a glossary to help the reader understand more. I'm definitely considering reading this in the future.

I don’t know if I can say I’m curious to know how old the earth is, as I’m not a huge fan of nonfiction books. I’ll pass on this. Nice review!
