Creation: Myth or Miracle?: If There Is a God, Shouldn’t He Be Able to Get the Creation Story Right?
The question this work addresses is given our current state of knowledge, are any of the major religion’s creation accounts accurate, or are they all myths and fables that don’t hold up to close examination? This work makes three assumptions.
Assumption no. 1—If there is a creator and he provided a creation account, then he should be able to get it right. After all, he was supposed to be there!
Assumption no. 2—If there is a creator, then one of the four major religions, each of which has survived a thousand years or more, is the most likely place to look for a legitimate creation account, a message from our creator. It is safe to say any creator capable of creating us and the universe we live in should be capable of accurately revealing his existence.
Assumption no. 3—If we do find an ancient (pre-science) creation account that makes a substantial number of scientific, factually accurate statements—not just a few lucky guesses—but facts that were unknowable at the time the account was written, then we can reasonably conclude there must be a creator who revealed these facts.

Extremely interesting and challenging book. Glad I read it as it has changed some of my views significantly
Definitely worth reading. It presents the first chapters of Genesis in a realistic and thought provoking way.
Very well written.
