The Genesis One Code was extremely well researched and provided a holistic view of religious and scientific standings, and creation theory. From the perspective of someone who holds, what felt like a basic understanding of the religions covered, I appreciated Friedmann’s synopsis of key religious texts to provide a supportive base for his theory.

What I enjoyed is that throughout the text Friedmann asks profound questions that are usually interpretively answered and amalgamates them with scientific knowledge that makes these beliefs more palatable to either the ambivalent or deeply invested reader. His ability to find and navigate through a grey area of interpretation is a feat in itself. By challenging two polarized truths Friedmann succeeds in offering a conflicting perspective in a way that is not threatening to a deeply religious or scientifically inclined individual. It seems he has found compromise in a debate that has raged since the intellectual revolution—a huge accomplishment in my eyes!

This book could cause a revolution.
