Ola Hössjer – författare

Unikt samlingsverk på engelska – vad Bibeln säger om skapelsen I boken ger elva olika forskare teologiska, filosofiska och naturvetenskapliga argument för ett skapelseperspektiv – att Bibelns inledning beskriver historiska händelser som faktiskt ägt rum. Ny forskning inom bland annat geologi och genetik har styrkt en bokstavlig tolkning av Bibelns inledning – att alla människor härstammar från ett första par, Adam och Eva, som levde för cirka 6 000 år sedan, och att en världsomfattande syndaflod ägde rum för cirka 4 500 år sedan. Endorsements of “Biblical Creation on Solid Ground – Arguments from Science, Philosophy and Theology” J P Moreland It is so refreshing when Young Earth Creationists produce rigorous, intellectually sophisticated defenses and extensions of their views. This is why I welcome the release of Biblical Creation on Solid Ground, edited by two highly competent thinkers—Ola Hössjer and Samuel Lampa. Whether or not one agrees with their conclusions, intellectual integrity and loving God with our minds require us to read works that are important, well-done, and get to the heart of relevant issues. This high-level book does just that. The editors have assembled a highly qualified team of Christian intellectuals, each writing in his or her area of expertise. I welcome this addition to the debate.

In the beginning was information, not a warm little pond! There is a revolution brewing in origin science. Genetics confirms the reality of a Y-chromosome Noah and his mitochondrial-DNA daughters-in law, Eve's descendants. Atheists' own weapon, methodological naturalism, annihilates neo-Darwinism. This book shows that biology and Christianity make sense only in the light of a recent creation. Pekka Reinikainen M.D. Paul Nelson The one who states his case first seems right,” Proverbs 18:17 tells us, “until the other comes and examines him.” Since the rise of evolutionary naturalism in the mid-19th century, the possibility that the early chapters of Genesis describe real history has been ruled out of the court of science. Thus, it isn’t so much that evolutionary naturalism speaks first nowadays – rather, naturalism represents the only voice that most people hear about their ultimate origins. This new volume, from a talented and well-informed set of contributors and editors, offers vivid testimony in reply. With chapters on the philosophy of science, the importance of creation for the Christian worldview, evidence for design in biology, cosmology, and Earth history, as well as other topics, Biblical Creation on Solid Ground gives the reader a refreshingly different perspective on key questions considered already answered by the naturalistic mainstream. Highly recommended. Paul A. Nelson, PhD Discovery Institute & Biola University

What is the biblical perspective on the origin and diversity of life? The Bible teaches that God created plants and animals uniquely after their kinds, and humans unique. Since then there has been diversification within the plant and animals kinds, so that species belong to different groups (baramins) with common ancestry within groups but no common ancestry between groups. In this book, several well known scholars, with expertise in biology, genetics, chemistry, bioinformatics, thermodynamics, computer science, and mathematics, showcase that the biblical view on the origin and diversity of life is much more in harmony with science than Darwin’s evolutionary theory. The book is a Proceedings of the First Nordic Creation Conference, held in Malmö, Sweden, in October 2024. Biologists, scientists of all types, and lay people who dissent from the Darwinian single Tree of Life model of biological origins and diversity often ask where they can find a fruitful and robust alternative to the textbook narrative of all organisms descending from a single common ancestor. This new volume provides much of what those dissenters seek: creative, data-rich discussions of how to understand living things and their relationships, without the iron chains of materialism and universal common ancestry. While it is important to understand mainstream evolutionary theory as deeply as possible, given its dominance of modern academic culture, it is even more important to develop alternative approaches to the evidence which treat the natural world with the care and understanding that world deserves — as the product of a supreme Mind who intended for His handiwork to be studied and appreciated. I commend the editors and authors for a first-rate effort. Paul A. Nelson, Senior Fellow Discovery Institute Biology is in crisis. Evolution is a destructive process. Speciation kills. Mutations cause diseases and natural selection is unable to cure them. Harvesting light for life is intelligently designed and thermodynamics prevents the spontaneous appearance of life’s multiple codes. Read and be amazed! Pekka Reinikainen MD
