The Decryption of Genesis M Melih Gordesli

For centuries an attempt has been made to rationally interpret the enigmatic narratives of the First Testament. Not infrequently, this creates the imagination to see encoded messages from God. Even the famous naturalist Isaac Newton spent several years looking for the secrets of the world in the scriptures. But his efforts to decipher the divine code were in vain. No mathematical formula and no law of nature could be reconciled with biblical narratives. The most bizarre access to the scriptures is now the pre-astronautics which sees in it an active role of aliens. The well-known author Erich von Däniken and pre-astronautics believe that the biblical stories in fact tell about sophisticated technologies whose product is man. So Noah's Ark should not be a real ship, but an allusion to a DNA database. Melih Gördesli, author of "The History of Quantum Physics" and "Science is Mysticism and Religion," has grappled intensively with the first chapters of the First Testament, illuminating them from a completely new perspective. In his new book, "The Decryption of Genesis," Melih Gördesli reconciles the classical creation story of man with genetics and reveals striking analogies between their narratives and the biological cell. "I do not find it far-fetched when pre-astronauts see a DNA database in Noah's Ark. According to my approach, the ark is a metaphor for the biological cell that carries the genetic material.
