The age of our universe: six days, fourteen billion years or both?
Discovering of harmony between modern science and ancient biblical commentary.

Gerald Schroeder is a scientist with over thirty years of experience in research and teaching. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees all at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with his doctorate thesis being under the supervision of physics professor Robley D. Evans. This was followed by five years on the staff of the MIT physics department prior to moving to Israel, where he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science and then the Volcani Research Institute, while also having a laboratory at The Hebrew University. His Doctorate is in two fields: Earth sciences and physics.
The scientific career that Schroeder chose has given him varied and often unusual experiences. In his work with nuclear disarmament, he has been present at the detonation of six atomic bombs. Work in control of radioactivity has put him hundreds of meters below ground in U.S. and foreign uranium mines. Within this research, he invented and had patented the first real time monitor for airborne alpha beta gamma emitters. The government of the People's Republic of China, during the decade before it established direct contacts with Israel, was willing to overlook his Jerusalem address and had him as a frequent advisor. He also has consulted for agencies of the governments of Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, USA. Invitations for him to lecture have come from around the world. He has over 60 publications in the world's leading scientific journals on topics ranging from the radon atmosphere of the moon (in Science) to the metabolism of mother's milk (in Nutrition Reports International). The results of Schroeder's work have been reported in Time, Newsweek, Scientific American and in newspapers as far apart as Boston and Adelaide. His formal training in chemistry, physics and the Earth and planetary sciences provides the basis for the broad scientific perspective he brings to his books and lectures.
Books by Dr. Schroeder:
Genesis And The Big Bang [ Bantam Doubleday ]
The Science of God [Simon and Schuster ]
The Hidden Face of God [ Simon and Schuster ]
God According to God [HarperOne ]
Approbations:
This is as important a book on this subject as I recall ever having read.
- Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions
A remarkable book. The science as well as the meaning of this universe are discussed with insight, rigor, and depth along with a perceptive, challenging and scholarly view of the Old Testament.
- Charles H. Townes, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley
