SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Archway announces his entry to the publishing scene with the release of “…And It Was So: How modern science sheds new light on the Biblical account of creation” (published by Archway Publishing), a book supporting the authenticity of the Biblical account of creation.

In this book, Ransom argues that perceived gaps between science and the Biblical account of creation stem from misinterpretation. A proper understanding of the Hebrew language, knowledge of the audience for which Genesis was written and the process of Biblical translation, and the nature of science coalesce into a coherent picture of creation in which science and the Bible align.

Ransom takes the reader into the story of creation and the science behind it, distilling complex scientific concepts into easily digestible nuggets, and along the way introduces many of the lesser-known heroes of scientific discovery. In the end, the reader will have a new appreciation for both science and the Bible as well as the harmony that exists between both.

“Many people of faith feel that science is at odds with that faith. Others feel the Biblical account of creation must just be a myth given its apparent contradictions to what we know from science. This book bridges both belief systems and shows that the Genesis account of creation aligns with what science has oncovered in the last few years,” Ransom says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answered, “That science is not the enemy of faith and that the creation account in the Bible is not merely a church myth.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/833604-and-it-was-so
