Introduction

It is said that the Bible is not a science book. That is true. Science books were written by men attempting to describe the things of God, while at the same time removing God from the equation. The Bible does not function on such illogic. It has never issued a second, third, or fourth edition. The Bible does not waver or change based on scientific trends or theories of the day, for the Bible is ultimate truth, and ultimate truth cannot change.

According to John 1, Hebrews 1, and Colossians 1, Jesus is the maker of all things, and Romans 1 says that we can get to know the Creator through the things that were made. If Jesus is the Creator and we can get to know the Creator through the creation, should we not study what that creation is according to Scripture?

This book was written to demonstrate that the world we are shown on screens and in textbooks is provably fake. Not only is it fake, but it is designed in a way as to diminish and discredit the character of God, keeping Christians from knowing the true nature of Jesus and non-Christians from ever meeting him at all.

Hence, it should not surprise us to find out that Jesus himself disagreed with the modern science’s presentation of this world. The fact that Jesus and the Bible oppose modern science should not deter us as modern Christians. It should empower us to investigate the claims of modern science, knowing that if the two diverge, there is likely a sinister agenda beneath the surface.

The Devil has infiltrated the sciences of geology and biology with evolution, forcing Christians to embrace either the Bible or science. Do we really think he has not corrupted cosmology in the same way?

Years of research across many different topics has yielded me two undeniable facts. One, the experts are not any closer to the available evidence than we are, and two, the Bible is never wrong. If we can approach this topic without bias, we will find that there is an Intelligent Alternative Design waiting to be revealed, a design that does not require us to ignore evidence or embrace non-Christian ideals. There is an Intelligent Design that articulates the perfect character of an all-loving Creator and functions in the beauty and nature of the Architect himself, Jesus Christ.

Only read further if you want your universe to shrink, your world to grow, and the Bible to fall in line with your senses.

Some Background

In my late teens and early twenties, I was not sure if I believed in God, and I definitely did not read the Bible. Like most Bible doubters, I simply adopted a perception of the Bible grounded in other people’s opinions. I had not read it for myself but, based on what I learned in Sunday school, I did not need to. After all, the heliocentric, big-bang model of the universe, which I thought was proven based on my university physics, astronomy, and geology classes, went directly against page one of Genesis, so why would I have to read page two?

Thanks to a pastor from California named Chuck Smith, I finally started reading the Bible for myself. Chuck Smith had a radio show called Pastor’s Perspective where he gave biblical answers to callers’ questions every day as I drove home from work. Some of their answers astonished me. I soon realized that I did not have any idea what the Bible said, so I finally sat down and began to read it for
