Did you READ it??

I have to wonder sometimes if a few of these reviews are written before having read the book. Nowhere does Henry Morris in any of his writings suggest that every statement in the Bible is to be taken literally. Creationists acknowledge that the Bible is made up of many different types of literature (narrative, poetry, etc.) What they teach is that the Bible should be taken as written, period. If a passage is a narrative passage, we should take it as fact. If it is poetic or symbolic we should take it as that and understand what the symbolism means.

This is an excellent book which points out many, many scientific truths referenced in the Book of Job which were not 'discovered' by men until much, much later, thereby pointing to the divine inspiration of the scriptures.

Does Henry Morris in this book (or anywhere?) claim the sky is 'hard as burnished bronze' because of this symbolic reference? No, this is simply a 'straw man' argument because what Mr. Morris has ACTUALLY written is not easy to argue with if one truly believes the Bible is inerrant.

BTW, the first chapter of Genesis is not a 'hymn'. If you want an example of hymns in scripture read Psalms. Genesis Chapter one is a narrative account of God's creation of the universe.

BTW again, this whole thing is really moot since the previous reviewer misquoted scripture.

Job 37:18 ACTUALLY says: "Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?"

The quote implies that the sky or firmament is 'strong' not 'hard' and that it resembles a mirror at times, both of which are true statements.

Response "reader from Boston"

The "reader from boston" writing the first review of this book needs to be slapped around like a traitor. All Morris is doing is giving the scientific realities of stories in Scripture. About the days of creation, well, anyone who has read the account and has any form of knowledge in their head will know that the creation days are literal days (evening and morning were the first day). Now, I agree that the Bible is not to be taken literally in every word in every passage but that does not mean that it sometimes can be taken literally and is meant to be taken literally. Why would Moses want to communicate anything different or confusing to the people by saying "days" which the Hebrew word means "24 hour day" Before you start criticizing true biblical scholars, you might want to get an education.

The scoffer is wrong

With his heavenly gifts, Henry Morris has offered much to the modern Biblical discussion, and this book is no exception. Christians like the reviewer below seem to be in the middle of a tug of war between so-called science and Christianity - they believe that modern science is completely accurate and therefore must find a way for it to be synronized with the Biblical record. The claim seen in this misguided reviewer's comments that the big bang is in line with the Genesis record of creation "ex nihilo" (out of nothing) shows a misunderstanding of both the Bible and the big bang theory. There isn't a single big bang theorist on earth who believes that the universe erupted out of nothing; rather, the theory dictates that it would have been erupted from a small dot of unimaginably large mass. Mass is something, not nothing. There is nothing in the Bible that would indicate that we should interpret the creation account in any way but a literal sense. As other reviewers have pointed out, the Bible contains a variety of prose with obvious interpretations of each; though some is symbolism that must be deciphered, all is fact and divinely inspired.

Take a new and exciting look at the oldest book in the Bible

This book is a very refreshing devotional. Take an exciting new look at the oldest book in the Bible - the ancient book of Job! Learn about how Job lived during the Ice Age and describes dinosours that he has seen (Beheemoth and Leviathon)! Henry Morris is a world famous Christian scientist, and this book is written as well as his many others. I highly recommend this book to any born-again Christian!
