Foundations of Creation – Volume 3

Genesis is not a poem, a myth, or a cultural metaphor — it is history, written and intended to be read as history. In this essential volume of Foundations of Creation, young readers are guided through a careful, honest examination of the first chapters of the Bible, learning to read them the way the original audience would have understood them. A thorough study of the Hebrew word yom — “day” — demonstrates convincingly that the days of creation were ordinary 24-hour days, confirmed by their numbered sequence, their evening-and-morning structure, and God’s own comparison of them to the human work week in the Ten Commandments. The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 are examined to show what they reveal about the age of humanity, and the most popular attempts to squeeze millions of years into Genesis — the Day-Age Theory, the Framework Hypothesis, the Gap Theory, the Cosmic Temple view, and Theistic Evolution — are each addressed with clarity and respect, showing why none of them fit what the text actually says. Jesus, Paul, and Peter all treated Adam, Eve, and Noah as real historical people, and this book shows why that matters profoundly. God said it. He meant it. Read it that way.
