It's a Miracle!?: What Modern Science Tells Us about Popular Bible Stories

Fundamentalist Christians often use the Bible as a guide to the natural world, which inevitably leads them to reject much of what modern science says about the universe. But what if we were to use modern science as a guide to the Bible? What might a scientific reading of the Bible tell us not only about religion’s claims, but also about nature and our place in it? If God really did part the Red Sea, how might he have engineered such a feat? If Jesus really did raise Lazarus from the dead, under what circumstances might it have happened? In this witty and informative book, science writer Clay Farris Naff brings the miracles of the Bible into sharp focus through the lens of modern science. Whether you’re a religious skeptic or a true believer, you’ll find what comes into view is mind-bending, thought-provoking, and even amusing—and you’ll likely be left even more amazed and entranced by the universe we live in.
