About Coils of the Serpent
When three friends, drawn together through a neighborhood book club, have a chance encounter with a mysterious old stranger to their town, they find themselves drawn into a strange web of scientific inquiry laced with fundamentalist religious beliefs. Prompted by the old man’s challenge, they begin a search for scientifically-based clues to DNA and the origins of life hidden in the oldest books of the Bible. Coils of the Serpent is a scientific thriller that calls upon the reader to examine his or her deepest religious sympathies and human-kind’s boldest scientific inquiries. Given that DNA is the most fundamental pattern of all life on earth, has this ever been described in ancient literature? Does the Bible describe DNA?
