Endorsement of Robert S. Mihin’s Book

By David V. Bassett (Cedar Hill, Texas)

Imagine graduating from college with an earned academic degree in the Earth Sciences, yet never learning the proper framework for interpreting the facts of geology, paleontology, or archaeology. For the most part, the teaching of these disciplines is built upon bogus bedrock; a false foundation that was laid some two centuries ago by a British lawyer-turned-geologist with an anti-Biblical agenda. As a direct result, the actual geologic history of our planet, the true testimony of the fossil record, and the correct context for understanding the common origin of ancient cultures all have been sabotaged and shackled by the misapplied mantra, “the present is the key to the past.” Robert Mihin, with the aid of scientific modeling and incisive insight, exposes the entrenched errors and intertwined inconsistencies of mainstream university indoctrination regarding these matters. By simply replacing uniformitarian gradualism with interdisciplinary catastrophism, the whole spectrum of geoscience discovery is chronologically anchored and consistently unified. 

Just as having the correct optical prescription can provide one clearness of vision, so, too, having the right mental model can gain one cognitive clarity with fundamental focus and a transformational perspective. Such a needed paradigm shift is provided by Mihin’s masterful presentation of controversial issues, including:

• The age of the Earth/radiometric dating/carbon-14;

• Earth’s orbital eccentricity, precession, and magnetic reversals;

• Widespread volcanism/ocean heating/the Ice Age;

• The Great Unconformity/the Cambrian Explosion/the ‘sudden appearance’ anomaly;

• Mass extinctions/megafaunal death/dinosaur soft-tissue preservation;

• The myth of fossil forests/buried polystrate trees/rapid coal formation;

• Neanderthal superiority/ancient human migration to the New World/the Clovis culture

This groundbreaking book supplies the key to unlocking the truth of geology, paleontology, and archaeology. Though neither recognized nor accepted by secular science, the debate is over, and the old-Earth model, governed by the tyranny of torpidity, has been overthrown. Young-Earth catastrophism can now backtrack from its 200-year, Darwinian detour down the path to dead-end dogma, and get back on the road to scientific soundness and timeless truth.

Genesis Modeled sets a new benchmark in the debate over Earth history. As a former atheist geologist, I thought I had it all figured out; everything made perfect sense to me with the "scientifically" assumed 4.54-billion-years of Earth history. I had no questions or reservations. When I converted to Christianity I knew I had to rethink my core beliefs regarding science. It literally took me years of researching the Young-Earth-Creation model to reprogram my brain so I could rationally make sense of a 6,000-year-old Earth, without having to invoke 'blind faith.' Reading Genesis Modeled was mind-bending, revealing to me how much I still didn't know about the subject in which I've invested so much time. This is an incredible study which I highly recommend for anyone interested in Earth history, from either an Old or Young-Earth perspective. You will not be disappointed!
