I’m David Brown and I wrote the science fiction story within my fiction book several years ago while I was a compromised, backslidden Christian. I believed the faith-based rhetoric of evolution and geological long ages. Beliefs full of presupposition and bravado, and the only evidence they provide is circumstantial and historical, tainted by their evolutionary worldview. I can no longer believe these lies. Because of the extensive research, I have done over the past few years, I know that evolution is physically impossible; ignoring the well-established physical Law of Biogenesis. The Earth cannot be billions of years old and the “Big Bang” is also impossible, ignoring the well-established physical Laws of Thermodynamics. If you question the validity of the above statements, I urge you to do your due diligence and research the evidence as presented by the following:
www.answersingenesis.org Answers in Genesis
www.creation.com Creation Ministries International
www.icr.org The Institute for Creation Research
These websites focus on the authority of the Word of God, the Bible. Should we trust errant, sinful, fallible men and women, just because they have a doctorate, notoriety or talk louder and prouder than their peers, or should we trust the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God? People disappoint us all the time. People lie. And People push their own personal agenda. People crave fame, fortune, and recognition, often to the detriment of others. People are unreliable. On the other hand, the Bible is the most scrutinized, studied, researched and verified book that has ever existed, and it is always vindicated when accused. The Bible is the very thoughts and revelation of God, so I choose to believe the Bible over the thoughts and ideas of mankind.
The Bible says that in the beginning, God created everything in just 6 regular 24 hour days. Sarfati (2003), noted that the chronogenealogies in the Bible clearly set a rough age of our universe at a little over 6,000 years old.12 The historical evidence bears this out, and it makes much more sense than the alternative long ages and evolutionary dogma. Some people believe that God used evolution to create everything, but that rejects and demeans the omnipotent, omniscient creative power of God and rejects the scripture in Genesis. Also, in order to believe the Big Bang theory, you must completely dismiss the Bible’s account of creation.
The Bible says the Earth was made first, and then the sun, moon, and stars, which is nothing like the purported evolutionary sequence of events. These evolution and Big Bang theories again put the thoughts and ideas of sinful, errant, fallible men above, and at odds with, the Word of God.
Through my research, over the past several years, I’ve found, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the Bible holds the truth of creation, and shares the truth about how we should act and react to those around us. It’s a perfect guide concerning creation, how to live and many other things. Do your due diligence and research it for yourself. Don’t trust me, because I’m just another fallible, errant, sinful human. The only difference between me and other sinners is that, for a human, I try to live as holy a life as possible. That doesn’t make me holy or better than anyone else, it just means that I’m trying my best.
Jesus said, “…I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) I believed this by faith at first and then continued to grow my faith through research, which included Bible study, secular science, and creation science, philosophy and theology. Through all my research, the Bible and Christianity have continued to make the most sense of the world and universe around us. Don’t trust me though! Read the Bible, research the websites I provided, and carefully read books and articles and then judge for yourself.
“…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15).

Deciding to Accept Jesus Christ as Your Saviour
I thank you for reading this book and hope that it both entertained you and helped you. Please know that if you are not a Christian, you can be. There are just a few things to know and a simple prayer to pray, to have a personal relationship with the creator, master and sustainer of the universe, our Lord Jesus.
First: God loves you! John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Second: We are all sinners: Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Third: We can be redeemed, through the willing substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus: Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Fourth: All may be saved: Romans 10:9 says, “That if you shalt confess with your mouth thy Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved.”
Decision:
If you have read and understand these 4 things, and you are ready to make the most important decision of your life, please pray something similar to the following prayer:
Prayer:
Lord, I confess that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died for me, and on the third day after his death, he rose from the dead and is alive today. Please forgive my sins and accept me into your kingdom. I accept your free gift of grace, through my faith in you. Amen!
Just a simple little prayer of repentance, turn from your sins and then have a lifetime personal relationship with the creator, master, and sustainer of the universe. And He will provide the added bonus of eternal life. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
If you have prayed to accept Christ, commemorate the occasion below, and then join a good Bible teaching, Bible-believing, Spirit-led church.
