Introduction

This book is designed to show that the Biblical view of the world makes sense AND is consistent with modern science. This is a short summary of the book.

The Haunted Mansion

Modern physics has produced a new perspective on our world that has been very difficult for most scientists to accept. This new perspective produces a radical transformation about our understanding of the world. The relevant science is in Appendix A and will be useful for science minded people to see where the result comes from. In this chapter there is an analogy about amusement park rides like the haunted mansion in Disneyworld that makes the scientific results clear without the science. Some of the interesting results from this chapter are first, you can prove the existence of a creator. Second you can demolish evolution by chance and hence atheism by simply showing that nothing is happening by chance. If you believe in free will then that is actually an argument for the existence of the human soul. Finally this chapter gives some Biblical quotes to show how the God of the Bible had the physics right before modern science came along. (Online.)

Basic Christianity

This section explains Christianity in a logical way, a way that I think is necessary for highly logical scientific people. It should also make sense to the skeptical members of the general public who think the Biblical view sounds like nonsense. (Online)

All the World's a Stage and a Classroom!

People are here on Earth to learn about human nature, sin and God. The Bible presents important lessons on these subjects. (NOT Online)

Modern Times

Modern times are very different from Old Testament times in certain ways. Modern people have a very un-Biblical outlook on the world that is completely wrong. (NOT Online.)

The Creation of the Universe and the Earth

The interpretations of the Bible you get from young Earth creationists will make you think that science has proved the Bible wrong but with the new perspective from modern physics it turns out the Bible was right all along, instead it was the human perspective on the world that was wrong. You'll see that the Bible has proved that Science is right. (Online)

The Origin of Mankind

Once again, the interpretations of the Bible you get from young Earth creationists will make you think that science has proved that the Biblical story of the creation of human beings is totally wrong but there are other less publicized interpretations that fit the scientific results. (NOT Online.)

Noah's Flood

Yet again, the interpretation of the Bible you get from young Earth creationists will make you think that science has proved that the Biblical story of the Flood of Noah is all wrong and yet again you can find an interpretation of the Bible that makes sense by making the flood a large flood in the Middle East, not one that covers the whole Earth. (NOT Online.)

Won't Any Religion Do?

People often think any religion will do but they are not all the same by any means. Christianity offers the only sensible deal and it's totally free whereas other religions offer you inferior deals. (NOT Online.)

Advanced Sin

Things you might not normally think are sins are sins and other things that you might think are sins are not. (NOT Online)

Notes on Heaven

Here is what the followers of the God of the Bible can look forward to: an incredibly beautiful world filled with people who are so different from people here on Earth it sounds like a fairy tale. (NOT Online.)

Epilog

Final thoughts on all this. (NOT Online)

Appendix A: Modern Physics

This appendix on modern physics is for science oriented people who will want to know about how modern physics produced the revolutionary new idea of the block world described in the first chapter. If you're not scientifically inclined this appendix might numb your mind so feel free to skip it if necessary. (Online)

Appendix B: Free Will

It is quite a mystery as to how God can create people with free will and know how they will behave in advance. This appendix speculates about how this might be done. (NOT Online)

Life

The mainstream scientific facts clearly point to Intelligent Design, not Evolution. This section details the mistakes you get from evolutionists. The intention of this chapter was to discredit evolution by chance but since the argument from modern physics does such a great job of doing away with evolution it will probably never be finished and will not be included in The Haunted Mansion. The only reason to browse this chapter is if you'd like to see all those traditional arguments against evolution that should have made people doubt evolution. For more on this subject there is a very nice website Creation-Evolution Headlines run by a young Earth creationist who does an outstanding job of discrediting evolution by chance using the latest scientific results. (Online but not included in the book.)

Eerie Similarities between Evolution and Young Earth Creationism

Both sides approach the subject in exactly the same way: they use their own particular bias mixed with sloppy thinking and outright dishonesty. (Online but not included in the book.)
