The book
Genesis Modeled
Two models of Earth’s past, set against each other and judged by the same standards any sound model has to meet. Only one survives the test.
The premise
“The evidence is the key to the past.”Genesis Modeled
This book does not rely on religious publications, theological arguments, or appeals to tradition. Instead, it applies neutral, testable modeling criteria, such as elegance, predictive power, and explanatory scope, to compare two competing models of Earth’s past: the conventional Slow and Uniform model and the Catastrophic and Abrupt model.
It treats models as tools, not conclusions, and applies the same standards to both competing explanations. Evidence from geology, paleontology, climate data, and ancient records is then weighed against each model’s explanatory power, predictive success, and coherence.
Rather than beginning with another debate over whether the assumptions within radiometric dating are reliable, this study takes a different approach. It asks whether the resulting model of Earth’s history can account for the observations, meet the standards of sound modeling, and survive the test of the evidence.
Inside the book
What it works through.
The case is built one anomaly at a time, across the ground where the two models most visibly disagree.
The series
Three books. One growing case for coherence.
Paradigm Earth explores what happens when the tools of scientific modeling are applied across three domains: Earth’s history, the nature of the universe, and Scripture itself.
The direction of discovery gives us increasing reason to take Scripture’s account of reality seriously.
Endorsements
What others are saying.
By simply replacing uniformitarian gradualism with interdisciplinary catastrophism, the whole spectrum of geoscience discovery is chronologically anchored and consistently unified.
As a former atheist geologist, I thought I had it all figured out. It literally took me years … to reprogram my brain so I could rationally make sense of a 6,000-year-old Earth, without having to invoke ‘blind faith.’
Read the full case.
Genesis Modeled works the comparison through the geology, the dating, and the ancient records, one case at a time. Judge the result for yourself.
