Review Comments

This is a valuable asset for any student interested in biblical cosmology. It presents well documented research in an understandable format, addressing a vast array of cosmological considerations. Arguments are framed from a scientific platform, yet the author faithfully demonstrates that objective, empirical, observational science does not contradict the teaching of Scripture but rather supports it. One major focus of the book is placed on the Flood and the author’s “Hydroplate Theory” as superior scientific explanations to current geological phenomena, both of which find their basis in Scripture. The author argues that the division in Peleg’s day was a water division (p. 254) and argues against a canopy theory (pp. 260-268). Both of these issues ought not to be argued dogmatically from a scientific perspective, but should be examined from a careful exegetical analysis of Scripture. Dealing with 137 categories of scientific evidence, this volume is accessible to the non-technical student, yet avails valuable technical data as well for the more serious researcher. A well recommended resource.

Publisher's Description

This revised and expanded new edition is a meticulously documented resource dealing with the age-old creation/evolution controversy. The author, who received a PhD from M.I.T., carefully explains and illustrates scientific evidence from biology, astronomy, and the physical and earth sciences that relates to origins and the flood. The hydroplate theory, developed after more than 30 years of study by Dr. Walt Brown, explains, with overwhelming scientific evidence, earth's defining geological event - a worldwide flood. This book includes an index, extensive endnotes and references, technical notes, answers to 36 frequently asked questions on related topics, and hundreds of illustrations, most in full color.
