The Presence of the Past by Rupert Sheldrake

The Presence of the Past by Rupert Sheldrake

How would Genesis read if it were written today?

This provocative work recasts the ancient Genesis creation story within the framework of contemporary science. Seven Glorious Days takes readers on a grand ride through the history of the universe--from the big bang, to the origin of stars and planets, to the appearance of living creatures bearing the image of God and living in community.

Karl Giberson has made wise and creative use of his skills as both a scientist and a sophisticated student of biblical religion in this well-informed, theologically sensitive introduction to the wonders of creation.
--John F. Haught, senior fellow in science and religion, Woodstock Theological Center, Georgetown University

Giberson's ability to translate the complex insights of physics, cosmology, and biology into terms that ordinary Christians can grasp is matched only by his ability to express deep religious convictions in simple and direct language.
--Stephen J. Pope, professor of Theological Ethics, Boston College

Insightful, informed, playful, stimulating, and impressive, Giberson argues convincingly that the earth is not a mere blue dot in the vast emptiness of space, but the most astonishing known seat of creativity and information.
--Owen Gingerich, professor emeritus of Astronomy and History of Science, Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
