Timeline of Origins: Toward Better Integration of the Bible and Science

Particularly since the nineteenth century and Charles Darwin, those with a high view of Scripture have struggled to integrate the Bible's teachings on human origins with the mainstream scientific consensus. By positing a fundamental physical divide between the "once-cursed world" of Adam and Eve and the "twice-cursed world" of Cain's banishment, the book opens the door to a reexamination of the biblical origins story. This includes the possibility that the once-cursed world of Adam, Methuselah, and Noah was the one deluged, rather than our twice-cursed world, providing answers to longstanding questions about the Flood and other aspects of the story.
