Chronological Convergence: Non-Radiometric Constraints

Rather than relying solely on conventional radiometric dating, Dr. Alfred Basta explores multiple independent lines of inquiry from geology, geophysics, biology, genetics, archaeology, astronomy, and historical records.

The book argues that when these diverse fields are considered together, they converge on a dramatically different chronological framework than the conventional deep-time model. Each chapter examines a specific category of evidence—including ocean sedimentation, continental erosion, atmospheric helium, geomagnetic decay, soft tissue preservation, DNA degradation, human population genetics, archaeological history, and solar system dynamics—to build a cumulative case for recent creation.

Written in a detailed yet structured format, this volume encourages readers to critically evaluate scientific assumptions, compare competing interpretations of the evidence, and explore the relationship between science, history, and the biblical record. Whether you are a student, researcher, pastor, educator, or someone interested in origins science, Chronological Convergence provides an extensive resource for understanding one of the most debated questions in science and faith.

What is Chronological Convergence about?

Chronological Convergence evaluates the age of the earth using non-radiometric methods rather than relying mainly on radiometric dating. It argues that independent lines of evidence from geology, geophysics, biology, genetics, archaeology, astronomy, and historical records converge on a chronology very different from the conventional deep-time model. Each chapter covers one category of evidence: ocean sedimentation, continental erosion, atmospheric helium, geomagnetic decay, soft tissue preservation, DNA degradation, human population genetics, archaeological history, and solar system dynamics. The book compares competing interpretations of the same evidence and builds a cumulative case for recent creation.

Who wrote Chronological Convergence?

It was written by Alfred Basta, a professor, author, and musician.

What genre is Chronological Convergence?
