Summary: The Genesis Question:Scientific Advances and the Accuracy of
Review: perhaps the author can explain why his "loving" lord and creator would have created carniverous animals including homo sapiens. Also, why would he allow millions to kill each other over religious differences, i.e. Moslem against jews, christians against moslems, moslems against Buddhists and so on. And why this insignificant spec of dust in the vast universe as his choice to "create" man, a very imperfect planet, 75% covered by water, the rest desert or ice covered with little left for land creatures to develop?

Summary: Scientifically and Biblically Consistent
Review: This book is one of the few I have read that carefully explores both the original Hebrew text of the Bible and the findings of science to show that Genesis 1-11 and science are in harmony. As an atmospheric scientist and Christian, I found Dr. Ross' views to be very plausible. Our atmosphere has ungergone some unique events that correlate well with Genesis 1. Dr. Ross points this out very well. I think this work makes a powerful case for the authenticity of the Scriptures.

Summary: Awful...
Review: On the surface, Hugh Ross's book "The Genesis Question" seems to be very impressive, with a great deal of figures and information. However, closer scrutiny of his reasoning and data shows just how wrong he is. Hugh Ross does not do science OR religion justice with this book, as he relies on specious reasoning, inaccurate data, and misleading interpretations of facts to arrive at his conclusions, much as many young-earth creationists do. Before buying this book, I suggest reading a review of it by G.R. Morton, also a Christian believer, who points out the numerous flaws in logic and fact far better than I....Ultimately, his book gives false reasons for people to believe in the "inerrancy" of the Bible, and provides ammunition for people who are already suspicious of Christians who are trying to make sense of the world through science.

Summary: It's about time.
Review: I needed this book thirty years ago, when my attempts as a young man to make arguments like those in this book met blank stares and offers to "pray with me for healing" from members of my church--with the result that I left that church. I grew up in Escondido, California, with one foot in fundamentalist Christianity and the other in the geological sciences. I hope--for their sake--that today's members of that church are more open to Dr. Ross' arguments than their parents were to mine.

Summary: Resolving the conflict without compromise
Review: Just as church leaders of the 17th century were afraid to peer into Galileo's telescope for fear of what they might see, and just as they vilified him for believing what he observed, many young earth Christians (and atheistic scientists) will want to do the same with this book and Hugh Ross. Perhaps they should put away their "all science is evil" colored glasses for a moment and give this book a chance. This is Hugh's best effort to date to resolve the apparent conflict between God's creation as we observe it and God's Word as we read it. Hopefully, it will cause some unsaved scientists to take another look at the Bible and Christianity.

Summary: Dual Revelation
Review: Hugh Ross does a great job at going back to the original words of the Bible, and showing that our english translation may have been the reason why we think that Genesis is a fable. He also goes on to say that the Bible itself points to creation , and therefore science, as it's "67th book". For example , the 4th day in Genesis uses the hebrew word "hayah"(to make visible) which is very different from the hebrew word "bara"(to create something completely new). This means that on the fourth day the sun, moon , and stars had already existed from verse 1 (the Big Bang), but that on the surface of the Earth you could not see the Sun, moon, and stars until God made them visible by changing the atmosphere from transulcent to transparent. Very curious and remarkable, since this is what science states happened in earth history.

Summary: Garbage
Review: Anyone who can read and comprehend what he reads, can see that the first chapter of Genesis has absolutely no resemblance to cosmology as we know it -- even if we assume that "days" were really eons. Ross's interpretation of Genesis One is simply a case of Pathological Illiteracy. For example, he reduces the account of the fourth day (describing the creation of sun, moon, and stars; and their setting in the sky) to "the atmosphere became transparent." The account of the fourth day says nothing of the sort. I don't know whether the Pathological Illiteracy is his own or his readers'. That is, I don't know whether he believes what he writes or deceives his followers.

Summary: Dr. Ross is a sane voice for the Christian viewpoint
Review: Once again, Dr. Hugh Ross brings a legitimate theological focus on the greatest book ever written -- the Bible. Dr. Ross has provided a breath of fresh air to a group of people ignored and vilified (and feared) by some Christians -- scientists and 'natural materialists' with a message that draws and invites inquiry into the reality of the Creator of the Universe -- Jesus Christ. Practising a Pauline approach to evangelism, Dr. Ross validly exegetes the scripture and discusses with great clarity the common causes of confusion between Christians and the scientific community. Thanks, Dr. Ross, for writing a book that is not an embarrassment to Christians, and which clearly honors and reveres our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by revealing the marvelous accuracy of the scriptures in describing the nature of created reality. It would be a true blessing if all Christians would reach out in such a loving manner to the rest of the world.

Summary: Plays Fast and Loose With Both the Bible and Science
Review: This book contains too many errors in fact and logic to even begin enumerating here. For instance, the the division of fossil humans into "pre-Adamites" and "true humans" is completely arbitrary. It is a shame that so many believers are Biblically illiterate. And that is why Hugh Ross can take advantage of them. John Woodmorappe

Summary: A very Deceptive Book
Review: Talk about a misleading. It is very sad the way Ross's book claim that he believes in a literal Genesis, while at the same time promotes his unbiblical views tainted by evolutionary underpinnings.
