This is one mans journey to discover the truth about the Bible. Terry Read grew up in a Christian household and went to church. But Terry did not live in a bubble. Terry watched documentaries, read magazines, read encyclopedias, and went to public school. Terry knew that what he was learning about science from all of these other sources did not mesh with the Bible. Terry tried to make the two world views fit together somehow.
But Terry discovered another option that he had never been taughtthat a person could believe the Bible as it reads. The Bible does not contradict good science. Terry studied this.
