″The author’s original intention was to deal only with the question of the origin of man, but as the increasing demand of modern exegetes for greater freedom to depart from the literal meaning of Genesis on the question of the origin of Adam and Eve was based in part at least on the assumption that the account of creation found in Genesis – with light before the sun existed and vegetation before there was either light or heat – does not correspond with objective reality, he judged it best to show first that modern science has found answers to these apparent difficulties, and that the biblical account given in the time of Moses does actually correspond with objective reality.” (from Preface)
