How do some western scholars view the contents of the Book of Genesis?
Q1351 · Science and Faith
Many western scholars have attempted to show that the contents of the Book of Genesis in no way conflict with the mindset and findings of modern science. Some hold that the sequence of creation found in Genesis matches the understanding of the evolution of the creation with great accuracy. A great many studies on this topic have been published, some of them written by devout scientists. Arabic readers may be interested in a book published by St. George Church in Sporting that is a simplified study by Dr. Youssef Riad, a professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Alexandria, titled The Compatibility of Modern Science with the Holy Scriptures . Also, the Coptic Bishopric of Youth has published a book by Dr. Fawzi Elias called The Six Days of Creation .
