Do fossils provide evidence that the earth has been around for millions of years? Could a catastrophic flood have thrown off the conclusions of scientists? Where do the remains of long-extinct creatures fit in the biblical account of creation?

People who are alike in their desire to find the intended meaning of the first chapters of Genesis have come up with different answers to these questions. The resulting controversy has polarized those who are equally sincere in their desire to honestly interpret the Bible and scientific data.

This booklet by Dean Ohlman is offered with the prayer that it will help us to respect one another in our differences, while affirming together that the Genesis account of creation is true. Martin R. De Haan II
