The Six Days of Creation - Volume 2

How does the Torah's record of Creation
correspond with archaeological discoveries?

The Torah's account of Creation stipulates that plant life was
created on the Third Day, marine life on the Fifth Day, and land
animals and man on the Sixth Day. However, an abundance1
of archaeological material, along with sophisticated dating
techniques, appears to trace the development of life over the
course of millions of years - from simple marine life to plant life
to the intricately complex animals and humans.

In volume 1, the early expansion of the universe - indicated in the
Talmud and scientifically established - is shown to have possibly
resulted in the dramatic slowdown of the daily cycle of the sun
on the Fifth Day of Creation, reconciling the scientific age of the
universe with that of the Torah.

In volume 2, this same dramatic slowdown is shown to harmonize
the Torah's record of Creation with the entire spectrum of
archaeological discoveries.

based on the words of Chazal."

contradictions between Torah and science."
