Description: In The First Four Days, Physicist Delmar Dobberpuhl masterfully explains the scientific side of how God created the universe and rapidly matured it from Days 1 through 4 of the creation week. Instead of beginning with science and attempting to mold Scripture to fit it, Dobberpuhl starts his analysis with God's Word and describes the scientific processes that were involved in each step of the creation and maturation of a perfect habitat for mankind. According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, science is knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method. As the author explains, the truths scientists have discovered about this world must be complementary and not contradictory to God's Word.
