FOREWORD
The last decades of the twentieth century have witnessed an upsurge
of human knowledge that boggles the mind. Our advances in every
field of science and technology are no longer measured in centuries
or even decades but in years and even months, and they seem to
surpass in attainments and scope anything that Man has achieved in
the past. But is it possible that Mankind has come out of the Dark
Ages and the Middle Ages; reached the Age of Enlightenment;
experienced the Industrial Revolution; and entered the era of
high-tech, genetic engineering, and space flight—only to catch up
with ancient knowledge?
For many generations the Bible and its teachings have served as an
anchor for a searching Mankind, but modern science appeared to have
cast us ail adrift, especially in the confrontation between
Evolution and Creationism. In this volume it will be shown that the
conflict is baseless; that the Book of Genesis and its sources
reflect the highest levels of scientific knowledge.
Is it possible, then, that what our civilization is discovering
today about our planet Earth and about our corner of the universe,
the heavens, is only a drama that can be called “Genesis
Revisited”—only a rediscovery of what had been known to a much
earlier civilization, on Earth and on another planet? The question
is not one of mere scientific curiosity; it goes to the core of
Mankind’s existence, its origin, and its destiny. It involves the
Earth’s future as a viable planet because it concerns events in
Earth’s past; it deals with where we are going because it reveals
where we have come from. And the answers, as we shall see, lead to
inevitable conclusions that some consider too incredible to accept
and others too awesome to face.
