How have we come to be here? Curiosity about our past blossoms in every mind, especially in the minds of those who have had a small exposure to the study of science. Yet technology and science keep on changing. How much patience do you have with someone who hesi-tates to fly because flying is dangerous? Would you bother to attend a technical college where every book was printed before 1920? What can you trust that is said to be science? Could you find your own ways to learn about our past? Could you look more closely at things in your environment and make estimates of how old things are around you? If you understood more things about our past, do you suppose that you might be better prepared to think about what looms in our future?
The author believes in you. He has prepared 8 chapters intended to guide you through observations that you can make on things around you, things that are trying to tell you about our history. From tell-tale mounds of dirt along a highway to TV pictures of men on the Moon, from hot rocks in a mine to cooling west winds, he presents at least 122 evidences in our environment for you to think about in your personal journey toward understanding. He offers an outline summary of what science has to say about the history of the Earth from the beginning to our recent past. The author points out that another outline of our past is in our environment, the account of creation in the first chapter of Genesis, the first book in the Bible. Unlike the textbooks of science that have to be written again after a decade or so, the text in the Bible is translated into your language by experts who want to make sure that no changes in meaning creep into the words you see. Is it possible that the two outlines tell the same story? See for yourself in the last two chapters of Knowing for Yourself.
