Reseña del editor:

Dr. Andrew Snelling has done his best work on this volume elucidating Earth's Catastrophic Past. A man of deep scholarship and much faith, God prepared him for this job. he stands on the shoulders of giants, who stood against the tide in years past, and erects an even firmer structure. Modeled loosely after the groundbreaking and God-honoring book The Genesis Flood, it adds insights gained from decades of work by numerous individuals.

He starts from a position of biblical inerrancy, and delves deeply into geology. Early chapters weave a careful scriptural case for the Flood's catastrophic nature and global extent. He answers questions many people have about that Flood and the Ark of Noah. From that firm foundation, he ventures into the world of geology.

Intervening years have witnessed a revolution in geology, largely due to the impact of The Genesis Flood. After being stifled for two hundred years of staid uniformitarianism, many earth science professionals have turned to dynamic catastrophic processes to explain the earth, thus there are many new ideas and much new data to include. Our minds have been expanded by witnessing numerous local catastrophes, and they help us comprehend the unseen global cataclysm. We stand on the verge of an even greater restructuring of geologic thought, and this treatise will certainly play a part.---from the Foreword by Dr. John Morris

Can the Bible be trusted in matters of science and history, or is just a source of "spiritual" truth?

In 1961, Drs. John Whitcomb and Henry Morris published The Genesis Flood, which examined the scientific data and the biblical record and presented clear evidence that the Genesis account of earth history is real, reliable, and historical.

Now, the Institute for Creation Research presents the long-awaited update to this seminal work.

Written by researcher Andrew Snelling---one of the world's leading geologists in the creation science movement---Earth's Catastrophic Past provides up-to-date geological evidence that demonstrates the authority and accuracy of the biblical account of creation and the Flood.

An alarming number of Christian leaders and teachers believe that God "created" through evolutionary processes over millions of years, that Adam and Eve descended from a hominid population, and that there has never been a global flood.

Step by step, Dr. Snelling examines evolutionary interpretations of the geologic record and deconstructs the misplaced assumptions and conclusions on which those interpretations are based.

By the end of Earth's Catastrophic Past, readers will have their faith restored in Genesis as real, literal history, and be convinced that the scientific evidence, correctly discerned and applied, is indeed consistent with God's record of our origins and history found in Genesis 1-11

Biografía del autor:

Andrew A. Snelling is a research scientist and technical editor who earned his Ph.D. from the University of Sydney, Australia, in 1982. After working with the Creation Science Foundation of Australia, he joined the Institute for Creation Research in 1998 as Professor of Geology. He was a principal investigator in the 8-year, ICR-led RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) research project, to which he made major contributions in rock dating studies using radioisotopes and in studies of radiation halos (radiohal) and tracks (fission tracks) in various minerals. Dr. Snelling currently resides in Australia and serves as Director of Research at Answers in Genesis, as well as Editor-in-Chief of Answers Research Journal.
