While I thought the idea behind the book was interesting, as someone who isn’t religious, I just couldn’t really get into it. Still, because of how well edited it is, I give it a 2 out of 4 stars.

I read this book. I enjoyed it and rated it 3 out of 4 stars. I discounted a star because it seemed to me that some interpretations may not necessarily be correct, although they are logical. Also, some reasoning is based on texts that have had to survive thousands of years and might have been altered, for example, the Zohar.

I enjoyed reading the book and I rated it 4 out of 4 stars because I think the research behind it was quite extensive and deserved recognition. Anyway, I was not convinced at all by the author's theories, but this is due mainly to my own convictions. So yes, I would recommend this book to others as an informative one and because in comparison to scientific or religious treaties, this book was much more readable and enjoyable.

A connection between science and the Bible is always a fascinating read. These two are usually opposing each other and trying to understand the latter is sometimes aided by understanding the former. The Biblical Clock seems to offer incredible insights to both the science and religious world.

It's a great book to reconcile science and the Bible. However, I personally don't find the book a comfortable piece to read.
There is no point in trying to please a person who doesn't apreciate me. Besides, why do I have to try and please anyone in the first place?

I rated this book 3 out of 4 stars. This book is suitable for open-minded creationists/evolutionists or readers interested in reading books that try to reconcile science and religion. The book is based heavily on Judaism. There is an extensive glossary at the end and hyperlinks in the kindle version. Though I didn't agree with all of the author's views it was an entertaining read. We need to earn knowledge from every angle so that our knowledge keeps on reviving.

My rating was 4 out of 4, and I liked this book very much! I would definitely recommend it to all those interested in the biblical accounts regarding to the Six Days of Creation and to the readers who (like myself) can admit that science and religion often speak about the same things, using different terms.

The Biblical Clock was a fantastic read for me, as the author had me biting my nails from the first page right down to the last. There is nothing I dislike about the book. The book was professionally edited, as I found no grammatical and punctuation errors. Therefore, I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.

I rated this book 4 out of 4 stars. Not because I subscribe to the author’s line of reasoning but because of the incredible job of documenting a unique interpretation of the bible. I loved most the thought-provoking capacity of this book. Initially, I hadn’t tried equating a millennium to a day to God despite having read the text that mentioned it in the Bible. I recommend it to people who try to reconcile science and Biblical teachings. Through this novel, they will find a platform to express their opinions or critique the authors’ arguments.

I enjoyed reading this book, it was truly interesting to see how God and science exist in the same world and it is possible to believe in both God and science. There was nothing I did not like about the book. I rate it 4 out of 4.
The world belongs to those who read.

I liked the way that it is presented as a research paper along with all the figures, tables, etc. The theories are quite intriguing, but all in all, it felt like an attempt to prove that the bible is true. At the same time, a big question occurred to me. Where is jesus in this book? Was he never important in God's Divine Plan?
Your question is why I believe that this was more focused on the Jewish Torah. The Jewish religion does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. The Bible and Torah are similar in the first 5 books but after that they are different due to belief systems.
I agree. The author is coming from a Jewish perspective, and is therefore still waiting for Messiah. In the story of the future he creates in the second half, he has a messiah arising.

I would prescribe it to those perusers who need to accommodate science and the Book of scriptures. I likewise figure the perusers of the Jewish confidence would discover this book really fascinating. I evaluated the book 4 stars out of 4 since it is engaging and altogether investigated. Perusers don't have to trust in God to comprehend what it examines.

There were few repetitions, hence, I hated it three out of four stars. I love how science was incorporated in it.

My penchant for distinctive views of Biblical stories made me read the book and I wasn't let down. I appreciated the sheer research that went into the writing and the authors' explanation of how the scientific and Biblical creation timeline tallies. I rated it four out of four stars.
