MAITLAND, FL— Within his new book, The Genesis of Life: A Pathway from Science to Faith ($12.99, paperback, 9781628716184; $6.99, e-book, 9781628716191), Alan Marshall points out that evolutionary theory falls short of explaining the origin of life—and how atheists, like Richard Dawkins, have misinformed the public. Furthermore, the author thoroughly expounds on how scientific evidence supports the notion of an intelligent creator. Alan Marshall writes in a refreshingly unbiased voice as he examines both sides of the “evolutionism-versus-creationism fence,” and ultimately leaves the final conclusion up to the reader.

“I think readers will find the book thought-provoking, and see that scientific enquiry and faith are not mutually exclusive,” states the author. “Indeed, the questions of the origin of the universe, the origin of life, and whether there is life elsewhere have clear spiritual implications. I seek to lead the reader, through a series of logical propositions, down a pathway to deeper religious conviction.”

Alan Marshall is a software developer, teacher and author with qualifications in mathematics, education, and computer science. He lives in Sydney, Australia where he ministers as an elder and lay preacher in his local church. The author's qualifications in mathematics and computer science enable him to comment on the significance of the information contained in the DNA of every living cell, and assess whether it points to a creative intelligence. The book's harmony of science and religion reflects the author's lifetime of training in the sciences, combined with his lifelong journey in the Christian faith. His website on evidences for the Christian faith is www.jesusisreal.org.
