My answer to that important question is yes, you can, and this video with Dr. John Lennox will let you in on some of the reasons I think that.
Eric Metaxas and Socrates in the City present an evening with John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, at the Union Club in New York City on January 31, 2013. Dr. Lennox explores a method for reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. Afterward Metaxas is heard asking, “Why didn’t I ever have any math teachers like this?”.
Whatever your view, this is a very insightful lecture. It explores the central question…what does Genesis actually say? And then how does our scientific understanding integrate with that reading.

Recently, I had the privilege of interviewing Old Testament scholar C. John “Jack” Collins on the Genesis accounts (i.e., days of Genesis) that Dr. John Lennox lectured on. In Lennox’s excellent book, Seven Days That Divide the World, he cites and relies upon the Hebrew exegesis of Dr. Collin’s work. You can find my interview with C. John Collins on the days of Genesis here.
