Right Side News brings Dr. Walt Brown's online book to our readers today for a fascinating scientific case supporting the creation of all things. Those of you that have been brought up and educated under the theory of evolution, please study this with an open mind and feel free to leave feedback at the end of Part I. His entire book is available online for your further study.
Part I
A brief summary, in outline form, of 131 categories of scientific evidence that support a sudden creation and oppose gradual evolution. As Figure 1 shows, categories 1-42 relate to the life sciences, 43-93 relate generally to the astronomical and physical sciences, and 94-131 relate to the earth sciences.
Quotations, references, and notes on pages 49-102 provide supporting details for specific conclusions. Usually, these details are based on research done by evolutionists who are experts in a relevant field.
Choosing evolutionists rather than creationists will minimize charges of bias. (Besides, no testimony is more convincing than that from a "hostile witness.") Most people find the quotations, highlighted in blue type, fascinating.
For many years, students, teachers, and professors have been unaware of most of this information, especially the broader conclusions that can be reached. Those conclusions are stated in Figure 1 and in large, bold headings on the following pages. The larger the heading, the broader the conclusion. There is one overall conclusion for the life sciences, one for the astronomical and physical sciences, and one for the earth sciences. Each has three supporting conclusions, for a total of nine. A typical supporting conclusion is based upon about a dozen categories of evidence. All 131 are summarized in the following pages. Figure 1 shows the relationships of these 3 + 9 broad conclusions and the 131 categories of evidence.
Scientific information cannot be suppressed for long, so it is not surprising to see a growing awareness and excitement concerning this information. Some evidence involves new discoveries. Other evidence, discovered long ago, has been poorly disseminated. If all this information were openly presented in science classrooms, better education would result. Regardless of your age or education, you can learn and help others learn this information about a subject that holds great interest for most people-the subject of origins.
Next week, Part II will cover the Foundtains of the Great Deep as shown here.

The 8th Edition of In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood by Dr. Walt Brown is available to order here. It can also be read or printed out at this website; just use the links at the left to navigate through the outline of the entire book. The 8th Edition was published in December 2008. From time to time, new developments are added throughout this online version of the book.
-------------------------------------------------
Walt Brown received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was a National Science Foundation Fellow. He has taught college courses in physics, mathematics, and computer science.
Brown is a retired Air Force full colonel, West Point graduate, and former Army Ranger and paratrooper.
Assignments during his 21 years of military service included: Director of Benét Laboratories (a major research, development, and engineering facility); tenured associate professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy; and Chief of Science and Technology Studies at the Air War College.
For much of his life Walt Brown was an evolutionist, but after years of study, he became convinced of the scientific validity of creation and a global flood.
Since retiring from the military, Dr. Brown has been the Director of the Center for Scientific Creation and has worked full time in research, writing, and teaching on creation and the flood.
For those who wish to know more about Walt Brown, a new book (Christian Men of Science: Eleven Men Who Changed the World by George Mulfinger and Julia Mulfinger Orozco) devotes a chapter to Brown. It may be read by clicking here.
