In The Biblical Clock: The Untold Secrets Linking the Universe and Humanity with God's Plan by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon, the authors argue that the Bible doesn't explicitly tell us that everything that happened was exceedingly incredible. God did almost everything by using the laws of nature. From something, he created another. It is possible to think of the universe's origin theory as deriving something from something else. The authors unite the Bible and reliable records in their effort to provide a glimpse into the course that our species will take in the future. Through extensive research and sacred scriptures, they reformulate and clarify the timelines for Creation and the End of Days.

There are three sections in this book. The first section deals with dissecting the creation and advancement events and their timelines as presented in Genesis and more current logical writing. The concept of the End of Days is examined in section two by extrapolating the new knowledge from section one. The authors outline a likely scenario for how and when this may occur. The third section explains the beginning of the creation story in the book of Genesis from the writers' perspective.

A writer and religious scholar named Daniel Friedmann wrote the book with Dania Sheldon. Dania holds a doctorate in English language and writing from the University of Oxford and is a skilled author, supervisor, and specialist. They show how the Bible and logical truths complement one another in depicting the development of our universe.

There are some things I loved about The Biblical Clock: The Untold Secrets Linking the Universe and Humanity with God's Plan by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon. As soon as I began reading this book, I was captivated by the introductory style, which was unique and used the tactic of Friedmann explaining significant past events and future orientations to his nephew Seb in a conversational manner. This led to the creation of a book that takes readers through an inexplicable mash-up of eminent rationalists, scholars, prophets, sages, and biblical interpreters' lives and works from 800 years ago to the present. All things being equal, the authors make their points in a convincing manner. This shows that even if the beginning seems unclear, one can start their guard in the middle because it will be closely related to the beginning. The book was helpful and presented me with a solution to a number of problems that needed to be resolved.

I heartily urge anyone who enjoys non-fiction and books about the universe to read this book. There was absolutely nothing about this book that I disliked. I enjoyed reading it. For all the above reasons, I am rating it 4 out of 4 stars. The book was exceptionally well edited as I encountered no errors while reading it.

The authors imaginative ability is commendable. But his assertion about the Bible not telling us explicitly what had previously happened has somewhat spiked my curiosity to find out how he rectified the issue of half information. I look forward to reading this book.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the universe and its chronology. Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon have done an incredible job of combining scientific and spiritual perspectives to create a compelling narrative about the formation of the universe. The glossary at the end of the book is also a great resource for readers. I highly recommend this book to students of cosmology, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the history of the earth and its timeline. 4/4 stars!"

I'm wondering how the book has two authors. Was the book sectioned according to who wrote which part? Or they both wrote each section? Well, only one way to find out. Excellent review!

I love the fact that the authors have taken the time to examine and reconcile the timelines of events in the Bible with scientific discoveries. The idea that God used natural laws to create the universe is a fresh perspective that makes the book even more interesting.
