Introduction

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

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 such as 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 demolish evolution by chance by showing nothing is happening by chance. Second you can prove the existence of God. Third 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

The traditional way Christians explain Christianity sounds like nonsense to modern people. This section explains Christianity in a logical, sensible way, in a way that is necessary for modern people. (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 and atheists 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 and atheists 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 and the Tower of Babel

Yet again, the usual interpretation of the Bible you hear 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. There is also an alternate interpretation of the Tower of Babel story. (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)

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 blockworld described in the first chapter. If you're not scientifically inclined this appendix might numb your mind so feel free to skim over it if necessary. (Online)

References

References cited in the book, don't let all the references to physics papers and books scare you.

Eerie Similarities between Evolutionists and Young Earth Creationists

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)
