Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-28 00:00:00 Bradley Calcaterra Genesis it the target of significant controversy concerning several matters, especially in the realm of earth's history and our origins. Much of the mainstream scientific community rejects the contents of Genesis outright as myth, or worse. However, there are many scientists who accept history as laid out in the book of Genesis. In response to many of the arguments and compromises concerning our beginnings, Ron Bigalke has compiled several discussions from many brilliant leaders in the church who accept Genesis at face value in The Genesis Factor, from Master Books. Many of these essays are mere summarizations each author's work in that particular area, but each chapter digs deep enough to give the reader a significant understanding of the topic. Covering many different subjects, from evidences of a young earth in the geologic column to the oceans to the atmosphere and beyond, and a deeper look at many different facets of Noah's flood, The Genesis Factor is a great starting point for understanding the massive amount of detailed evidence available that shores up the foundations of God's Word, beginning in Genesis. Many often ask why such topics matter. Isn't it enough to believe in a Creator, regardless of how he created? The answer is that it does matter, tremendously. If we allow compromise or even outright reject God's Word as he revealed it concerning our origins, what else might we reject or compromise that we dislike? Rejecting the literal truth of Genesis starts us down a slippery slope that will eventually lead us to a point of no return. We must accept Genesis as literal history. One of the final chapters gives multiple reasons why this is so crucial. While a lot of these essays were deep and weighty, reading like the technical scientific information that they are, this book is full of incredible resources that can help you defend your faith, and the historicity of Genesis. I fully recommend that you add this to your library today!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-26 00:00:00 Roger Shaw Normally, I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I have to ask, why isn't this information confirming Biblical Creation and refuting evolutionary models of origins, receiving more attention? Having just finished reading The Genesis Factor: Myths and Realities, I'm at a loss as to why the challenges to the currently accepted evolutionary framework are ignored by the very scientists that claim they are seeking the truth, wherever it may lead. What are they afraid of? I guess "who" are they afraid of would be the better question. The Genesis Factor is a compilation of articles written by leading scholars of creation science. While they all affirm that everything won't be known this side of Heaven, they present compelling evidence for a young earth. The writers reveal evidence found in everything from geology, the oceans, and the atmosphere, which support Bible's record of a recent creation. And yes this is real science, so much so that while I could easily understand the points being made, some of the facts were beyond my less than scientific mind. It goes to show, that while the scientific community tries to cover their eye's to the truth, it is out there waiting for biblically minded men and women to uncover. I recommend The Genesis Factor for all who desire to learn more about the realities of God's miraculous creation. I would like to thank Master Books, a division of New Leaf Publishing Group, for this free review copy.
