Geology: Regarding the Bible account of creation, the noted geologist Wallace Pratt said: “If I as a geologist were called upon to explain briefly our modern ideas of the origin of the earth and the development of life on it to a simple, pastoral people, such as the tribes to whom the Book of Genesis was addressed, I could hardly do better than follow rather closely much of the language of the first chapter of Genesis. ”
Geoloogia: Seoses Piibli loomisaruandega ütles tuntud geoloog Wallace Pratt: „Kui minul kui geoloogil palutaks selgitada lühidalt kaasaegseid ideid maa päritolu ja sellel elu arenemise kohta lihtsale karjusrahvale, nagu need suguharud, kellele 1. Moosese raamat kirjutati, võiksin vaevalt teha midagi paremat, kui järgida võrdlemisi täpselt 1. Moosese 1. peatüki keelt. ”
