Review of The Biblical Clock
The Biblical Clock is co-authored by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon. In this work, their intellectual prowess and expertise in conducting their research were quite obvious. Daniel, an engineer, thinks that historical and scientific truths and biblical narratives about the universe's origins are consistent. Dania, who, on her part, is an academic, works as a writer and editor. This book is divided into three sections, each presenting the same idea from a different angle. It has a total of twelve chapters. By reading this book, you will discover how the authors connected religion and scientific knowledge.
From The Biblical Clock, we learn about Acre. In Acre, Israel, there was a priest named Isaac Ben Samuel. He was the first person to make an effort to protect the manuscripts that included knowledge concerning the universe's creation date. The authors also wrote about the events surrounding the capture of Jerusalem and Acre after the Mamluks attacked. This book shows that the universe was thought to have been created roughly two million years ago, according to the renowned scientist Edwin Hubble. However, it is between twelve and twenty billion years old, according to updated calculations made in the year 2000. The analogy of the Jean factory described how humans could alter the days that God created the earth using their tools.
The Biblical Clock, written by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon, is a book that demonstrates the parallels between biblical and scientific views on the origins of the universe. The focus of the book's second section was to illustrate the importance of some historical accounts. It also shows how these historical stories relate to each other and how they all point to a single idea: that the universe was created similarly regardless of the source from which you are getting your account.
There are some positive aspects to this book that I noted. First, I adore how the authors supported their arguments with examples from history, dates, and photos. All of these elements contributed to my enjoyment of this book. Numerous books provide historical accounts of the creation of the universe. But this book also provides scientific information on the subject. I admired Daniel's meticulous study of numerous sources and liked how he provided a comparison between history and the biblical days of the creation.
The only thing I disliked about this book was the initial friction I encountered while reading it. I had to reread the book's first section twice before I could grasp it because of the writing language and style. This was a minor setback for me. But afterward, everything went great. Therefore, the setback was not severe enough to warrant a star deduction in the rating. Hence, I will give this book the perfect star rating it deserves, which is 4 out of 4 stars.
I recommend this book to scientists to learn to balance their religious faith with science. Those who question the age of the universe will benefit from reading this book. I would also recommend it to religious readers. Because I couldn't find any errors, I think it was professionally edited.
