"FROM THE BIBLE, authors Van Bebber and Taylor bring to the reader a
revealing critique of Progressive Creationism's most visible proponent, Dr. Hugh
Ross. Not only does Ross claim that the biblical Flood was local, not
global, but he also teaches that death and bloodshed existed for billions of
years prior to Adam and Eve's sin. Dr. Ross contends that the simplest
reading of Genesis reveals overlapping Creation "days" of billions of years
beginning with the "Big Bang". He charges that those Christians who believe
otherwise are out of touch with reality and are making it nearly impossible for
modern people to accept the Bible and Christ. Van Bebber and Taylor bring
careful and accurate biblical study to bear on each of these claims (and many
more), revealing numerous errors in theology and misuse of Hebrew. In an
increasingly securarized society where the Bible is being reinterpreted at point
after point, many will find this to be a significant and helpful book.
"A Bold and courageous attempt to attack the roots of Progressive Creationism
... with its misguided theology and secular science. This report has taken claim
after claim and refuted it on sound theological grounds. We must view our
origins first in the light of the Scriptures because man can so easily distort
reality."
