The Science of God: The
Convergence of Scientific and
Biblical Wisdom by Gerald L.
Schroeder
Never Stop Searching
In The Science of God, distinguished physicist and biblical scholar Gerald
Schroeder compares key events from the Old Testament with the most
current findings of biochemists, paleontologists, and physicists, arguing
that the latest science and a close reading of the Bible are not just
compatible but interdependent. In the vein of Francis Collinss The
Language of God, The Science of God explores how religious belief is
enhanced by an open-eyed investigation of the world and how honest
science must be humble in the face of lifes extraordinary richness.
Schroeders is an important voice in the raging debate between science
and religion, and his insights into miracles, the origins of the universe, the

origins of life on Earth, and the meaning of free will make The Science of
God more relevant than ever.
Personal Review: The Science of God: The Convergence of
Scientific and Biblical Wisdom by Gerald L. Schroeder
I've read this book as a Christian, and a homeschooling parent, who was
seeking a means of trying to talk to my students (who are also my
children!) about Origins; this, after having been stymied by the apparent
'know-nothingism' of most modern 'Scientific Creationists' - and I say this,
being a man who once thought Morris 'The Genesis Flood' was the be-all
and end-all of scientific research in light of atheist Darwinian evolution!
Now that I have read and understand the validity of the 'old-earth' model, I
was led to read Schroeder, and what a find!
First off, many, many of the reviews miss the author's astoundingly brilliant
analysis of Creation; time/light; the apparent 'contradiction' of the Six Days
of Genesis 1&2 with the scientific evidence of billions of years being the
'flip side of the coin', as it were in the eyes of God. Ross and Rana over at
Reasons to Believe have sought to do the same from within a decidedly
Evangelical Christian framework, but the inherent tacit multicultural
paradigm - derived from a false eisogesis (reading into) of Acts 17:26 (and
here they are right in line with Ken Ham's/AIG's fallacious 'One Blood'
claptrap)- falls short, right at the anthropological point at which the Bible
begins- Adam and his posterity, which includes (for Christians) the
incarnate Christ.
Schroeder (as a Jew) instead goes right to the heart of the matter, saying
more or less what Watson (of DNA fame) said a year or two ago of the
modern era, and for which scientific FACT, he subsequently lost his job.
[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,302836,00.html] Schroeder points
out the historic reality behind the present avoidance. The hominids that
lived before Adam (and his 'kind') were NOT related to Adam, nor his
seed- indeed they were not 'MEN' at all- hominids, possibly, but 'Men' - no!
The Kirkus review above got the nail on the head, and therefore damned
Schroeder with faint praise, merely for saying what the West has long
known, but which is now is considered the 'sin of all sins,' in this myopic
multicultural age.
"Schroeder's other theories include an odd insistence upon a pre-Adamic,
soulless hominid ancestor. It's important to Schroeder that the literal Adam
be the first ensouled human being, and since Genesis chronology (almost
6,000 years since Adam) doesn't mesh with what science tells us of the
age of humankind, Schroeder sets out to prove that the Bible only picks up
the story near the close of human development. Such hermeneutical
gymnastics seem strangely outdated and obscure in an often intelligent,
cogently argued book."

Nope, sorry. Such POV's are neither obscure nor outdated- but their
studied avoidance at all costs- is!
It is now clear to me, that only with the advent of 'Adamkind' does our
world's great ancient historic civilizations appear- and not in one isolated
area, but on the GLOBE. It was not the 'indigenous tribes' that raised up
these highly-technical civilizations; it was the advent of Adam's Eden-
expelled heirs that brought technology (such as the pyramid's manner of
construction that we are STILL in awe of) to the world.
Moreover, since the (biblical) time of Noah's flood also coincides with
written records in both Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilization, (and their
continuity shows neither empire suffered from a 'world flood', both
Whitcomb and Morris, as well as Ham et al. haven't a leg to stand on-
whereas Ryan and Pitman's 'Noah's Flood', and Ian Wilson's 'Before the
Flood' appear far more tenable; and since the Egyptians showed racial
characteristics of their captives, (as well as of themselves) and these racial
types existed PRIOR to the flood, the old 'curse of Ham' is pretty much
toast as well. Schroeder put it all into perspective for me- it would be less
than intellectually honest to deny these facts, and to seek to find some
OTHER way to explain how all these multiple civilizations 'evolved'- like
Darwin posited of undifferentiated matter, going from fish to Homo
Sapiens. There is both purpose as well as design, from the Big Bang, to
the Creation of Adamkind... and Schroeder makes it clear from the
perspective of a scientist- for once. And that is the greatest
recommendation for this book alone!
Moreover, such pre-Davidic civilizations have mythos that speak of fair-
haired, golden or red-headed 'gods' visiting the locals, 'giving them culture,'
etc. Homer's epics stand at the end of a long line of this sort of literature,
but he, too, gave us the images of Olympus that was peopled with fair and
gray-eyed Gods -now also under scrutiny from a racial POV- 'The Baltic
Homer'. This set of facts, too, I am sure the Kirkus reviewer would say is
"strangely outdated and obscure," but there it is; an inconvenient set of
corroborative FACTS, that no amount of 'Out of Africa' hype can remove.
Think of Cortez, Quetzlcoatl, the clearly Caucasoid busts of Early (vs. late)
Egyptian Pharaohs, etc. I'm not making this up, nor am I saying I
personally believe it... I'm merely pointing it out.
Where Schroeder does go wrong, however, (for which the Kirkus review is
utterly silent- could there be a studied reason?) is attributing this Adamic
perfection, this civilizational, created semi-divine status of post-edenic
Adamkind to the race Schroeder belongs to- i.e., talmudic Judaism and her
adherents. (As Schroeder is quite clear to quote both Talmudic as well as
Kabbalistic writers- and to note this fact from the beginning- this
observation cannot be construed (or 'mis-construed') as 'anti-semitism'- or
else we truly are no longer a free nation, and rational discourse no longer
exists.) Since Arthur Koestler demonstrated (in 1976!) that Modern Jewry
is not related- ethnically, racially, or historically - to the tribes that come of
Abraham, Isaac or Jacob's loins; nor, indeed, not even of the Jews of

Christ's day, via his well-received and reprinted book [cf. 'The Thirteenth
Tribe'] ...and as Koestler was a Jew himself, he MUST know - I am
beginning to think that these two Jewish authors are telling us, the mantle
of Schroeder's attribution of such grandeur, such overwhelming
intellectual, scientific, artistic, and purely physical beauty on the part of
Adam's descendants (and the talmudic 'traditions of the fathers' from which
Schroeder garners these insights, collated on this 'semi-divine race' by the
talmudic devotees, even if ONLY to be kept in 'custody' for another people
) must therefore inevitably (based on Schroeder's research) fall on another
race, a 'lost tribe,' of which Christ is the consummate Second Adam- the
Rose of Sharon.
Such knowledge, such insights, of course, are anathema in an
Obamanation, and that is why Schroeder's book is not touted by: a) the
Evangelical Community- who too often see Zionist interest as equivalent to
the Gospel- and/or Hagee as their 'pope' (that, and their bizarre grasping
at 'scientific straws,' via the Hamite crowd), or b) the Romans, (now
jumping on the 'smear Williamson to make us look good' bandwagon, thus
aping 'a') or c) anyone else afflicted with the Multicultural 'we're all
one/'hope and change' Mania (which has an uncanny resemblance to
Weimar Germany, for some gnawing reason...) - which is merely the
secular version of a+b above....
But, as Christ said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the Truth shall set you
free." I believe Schroeder's books do just that- they did for me! I sincerely
believe his writings need to be more seriously studied by Western
Christendom, with an eye to realizing the possibility that the 'Adam' whom
Schroeder mentions- as the Culmination of Creation- might be much closer
at hand than one may at first realize....as Belloc once noted, "The Faith is
Europe; Europe, the Faith."
