Ape or Adam?: Our Roots According to the Book of Genesis

In order to read the Bible, you don't have to deny what you have learned at school. The author of this book, Rev. William R. Van der Zee, tells us to keep both evolution and religion. He respects scientists in the field of biology for their expertise. However, he expects us to also respect what 'pecialists' in religous matters have discovered. Don't turn science into religion, he warns us, but let religion have its own say.

The way he writes about God's involvement with His creation inspires us to open that old and treasured book of Genesis again. Genesis is not an old book on modern science. He teaches us to read it with totally different eyes; not the eyes of a scientist, but of someone who has an eye for all the things scientists have never been able to catch in their measuring devices. Suddenly, the assumed conflict between religion and science disappears.

Let him explain to uou what Adam stands for, plus all that comes with Adam: paradise, the snake, the ark... He does an excellent job. The monkey trial of Tennessee is over!
