52 Books in 52 Weeks: Book 32: "A Biblical Case for an Old Earth" by David Snoke

The debate between Young Earth Creationists and Old Earth Creationists rages in churches and on the web.  Those who argue for an Old Earth perspective normally do so on the basis of the large amount of scientific evidence that supports their view.  What David Snoke does in this book is make a compelling Biblical argument for a day-age view (the view that the 6 days of creation in Genesis 1 are consecutive days that are each ages long, rather than 24 hour days).  Snoke spends one chapter giving a surface overview of the scientific evidence, but the rest of the book is focused on the Biblical case for an old earth, and the theological implications of holding this view.
