Title: God, geological science and common sense
Review: If Christianity seems unreasonable and the Bible appears as a barren bed of 'Thou shalt's' and 'Thou shalt not's'then this book could reawaken your interest in both. It treats the Bible as a confirmation of all of life which can be explored and enjoyed.It is a most extraordinary integration of geological science, God and a farmer's common sense. The God of this book is sublimely transcendent yet part of every cell of matter, the ultimate, 'eternal, unchanging reference point'(p4). The book is logical and biblical without being limited by literality. For example, in relation to the question of the length of time taken for God to create the universe, it says: 'God did not work to the sun (it did not illumine the earth for the first three days!). He concluded each day when his purposes for that day were fully complete.'This is a readable, easily understood alternative to some of the extremes of the argument about the origin of the universe.
