Add to basketPaperback. The conflict between science and Scripture has often resulted in the misbelief they are fundamentally incompatible. Proponents of each side have, unfortunately, developed a closed mind and defiant attitude towards the other. But the natural and supernatural worlds actually do share common ground. People are drawn to them, find expression within each arena and often feel a connection to something larger than themselves. Just like two witnesses to the same event, each has a voice that deserves to be heard in order to get a more complete picture of the truth. In And There Was Light!, author Maureen O'Kane encourages our intellectual curiosity to reach beyond the status quo through an in-depth study of several examples of earth sciences as presented in Scripture. From the sea, clouds, and wind to the sun, moon, and plants, this book proposes that modern science actually confirms divine inspiration. Whether you believe a day of creation is eons or hours; whether you see humans as the end result of random processes or a new beginning with a specific purpose; whether God is an impersonal, distant concept or your heart's very desire, the views of this book can enrich your own. All are invited to consider the evidence and discover for yourselves what and how the ancients knew. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

The conflict between science and Scripture has often resulted in the misbelief they are fundamentally incompatible. Proponents of each side have, unfortunately, developed a closed mind and defiant attitude towards the other.
But the natural and supernatural worlds actually do share common ground. People are drawn to them, find expression within each arena and often feel a connection to something larger than themselves. Just like two witnesses to the same event, each has a voice that deserves to be heard in order to get a more complete picture of the truth.
In And There Was Light!, author Maureen O’Kane encourages our intellectual curiosity to reach beyond the status quo through an in-depth study of several examples of earth sciences as presented in Scripture. From the sea, clouds, and wind to the sun, moon, and plants, this book proposes that modern science actually confirms divine inspiration.
Whether you believe a day of creation is eons or hours; whether you see humans as the end result of random processes or a new beginning with a specific purpose; whether God is an impersonal, distant concept or your heart's very desire, the views of this book can enrich your own. All are invited to consider the evidence and discover for yourselves what and how the ancients knew.
Raised an evolutionist, Maureen felt awe about all things in nature. At an early age, dolls and tea sets were left behind to explore surrounding woods and creek.
When a young adult, she moved to North Idaho to live in a log cabin without electricity or running water in order to fully immerse herself in a natural lifestyle. During this Thoreau-inspired journey, she read the Genesis story for the first time and was struck by the simplicity of creation. For her, the birth of mankind directly - as opposed to indirectly - by a Divine Being resonated as a more logical truth. It is this connection between humans and God, science and religion, flesh and spirit that Maureen shares in her study of ancient knowledge and modern discoveries. She is a retired marketing account executive for both national and international corporations, a motivational speaker, a self-proclaimed “nature nerd” and active volunteer in her community."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
