The Authoritive Guide on the "Creation-Date" Issue By OtherWorlds&Wisdom For decades, young-earth creationists have claimed their interpretation was the "literal" one. They told us all of science was wrong and to ignore the contradictions and problems of their theory. Many Christians have struggled over this science vs. Bible situation the young-earthers have contributed to with, ironically, skeptics. Skeptics have pointed to young-earthism as a reasons not to trust the Bible and used it to stereotype all Christians. While the young-earth leadership has resorted to emotionalism, name-calling and anything but scholarship, Hugh Ross has been a rational voice. This second edition of A Matter of Days (with grew out of his previous book, Creation and Time), is the most complete and accessible book on this subject. Detailed, well-researched, not hostile and decisive, this book all who wish to really see how the Bible and science agree, or those seeking answers, must read. If you have been told myths like "old-earthism equals evolution" or "old-earthism isn't literal" or "old-earth compromises this or that" you'll find out why those myths couldn't be further from the truth. Hugh Ross has spent decades equipping Christians and answering skeptics on issues of science in a scholarly and readable fashion that should set the example for all such research.

I say that as a devout Christian myself (and I suppose many these days would call me one of those "crazy Christian fundies"). Whether or not it's the details of the creation account, the rapture, or the 144,000 in Revelation; everyone has theories about them, and people will passionately defend their theories. The problem is they're some of the most vague subjects in the Bible! There are things clearly said in scripture: Jesus being the Son Of God, the attributes of God, and established Christian doctrine for example. Established principles are clear, and not negotiable if you call yourself a true Christian. Topics such as the rapture, the 144,000, and the argument over whether or not a 'day' in Genesis is a 24-hour period of time are NOT established clearly. Theories about them can never be doctrine, but there is room for debate and belief on the matter. The problem is people often try to make their agendas a doctrine.There's nothing wrong with zeal by itself. However, for a believer, zeal for God must be at the top of their priorities. Too often, even with good intentions, priorities get shifted...and it always ends up being destructive. Shifting priorities over the past few centuries is exactly what Hugh Ross tackles in the book, and I'm so thankful he's doing so.I've long maintained the belief that Genesis is accurate, but the exact details of how God did it is up for discussion. After all, there are very few specific details in the Genesis account. God could have created the universe and Earth instantly. He could have also done it in 7 seconds, 7 24-hour days, or 14 billion years. Time is not constraining to Him, and His glory is not diminished by any of the above!Ross does an excellent job showing how this 24-hour day demand is (relatively) recent in Christiandom. Using church history, and church father's own words, he lays one of the most important pieces of a vast puzzle: the early church didn't really care all that much about how long a day in Genesis was...and it wasn't evident at all that 24-hour days were the prevalent belief. Ultimately, from there, this book journeys throughout many different aspects of the creation account and the current scientific evidence. I won't lie, it's fairly obvious to me that Hugh Ross has been hurt by the ' young earth creationist' crowd. That's not hard to believe, as I have had some similar experiences. He goes to some good lengths to prove his point, and many young-earth theories are subsequently demolished in his wake. This book may not be the olive branch to reconcile the two groups, but it does raise important issues that should be addressed: we put too much personal stock in our flawed interpretations of the scripturally vague, nature and natural records are a valuable tool for revealing the glory of God, and we should approach non-heretical differences in the body of Christ with understanding while bearing fruit of the spirit (that last one is mine but it counts!)

A must-read for anyone interested in the debate over the age of the universe By Luke Nix The debate surrounding the age of the universe has been a hot topic in the Christian Church for quite some time, and it seems that the tensions grow tighter every year. As someone who loves science and who's faith in Christ was solidified by the evidence from the sciences for the inerrancy of scripture, I find it quite discouraging that there is so much emotional hostility in the Church against the sciences and even scientists, themselves. Dr. Hugh Ross is an advocate for Christ and is a practicing scientist. His desire to see growth in the Kingdom has compelled him to write several books showing how many (not all) interpretations of the record of nature demonstrate evidence for the truth of Scripture. Unfortunately, his efforts have been met with a barrage of criticism from within the Church because he believes the evidence conclusively supports the fact that the universe is billions of years old and not merely thousands.A Matter of Days (Second Edition) is one of Dr. Ross' books that addresses this topic in a humble and gentle manner. He brings the evidence of nature and the evidence of Scripture together to show that there is no real reason to fear the fact that the universe is billions of years old, and that such evidence actually provides spectacular evidence for the God of the Bible and the inerrancy of His revelation to us. The book is divided into twenty-three chapters and is 264 pages long (not counting the almost one hundred pages of notes).A Matter of Days is a wonderful book that addresses issues surrounding science and faith, specifically the age of the universe. Dr. Ross' attitude throughout the book is not one of condemnation against those who disagree, but one of an authentic desire for reconciliation in an effort to provide more evidence for the inerrancy of the Bible and the ultimate truth of Christ's life, death, and resurrection. Throughout the book, many evidences for God's work in nature are put forth, but not necessarily in great detail. As a defender of the Christian worldview I found this book to be quite valuable in addressing scientific misunderstandings about the Christian worldview (such as the idea that young-earth creationism is a necessary component of it) and in addressing fellow Christians who hold the wrong view and attempt to defend it to scientifically minded unbelievers. I really appreciated Dr. Ross' humble, yet confident and soundly reasoned, approach to this sensitive topic.This particular book of Dr. Ross' is not the best of his works for defending God's existence via the sciences; however, it is an extremely valueable resource for any apologist who constantly encounters the need to correct misunderstandings of the Christian worldview with regards to the sciences. It is also a wonderful asset for the Christian who may be "on the fence" about the age-of-the-universe issue and is investigating out of curiosity or struggle with doubt. Regardless of the reason for getting this book, I believe that the reader will finish it with an understanding that Christians have nothing to fear from the sciences and only evidence upon evidence to gain in support of the truth and authority of God's Word.For a chapter-by-chapter summary of the book, please follow this link: http://lukenixblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/book-review-matter-of-days-resolving.html
