Book Description
As debates within the Church over the scientific details of creation become more frequent, the experts seem to grow more entrenched while the rest of us only become more confused. Somewhere between the endless arguments over distant starlight and Carbon-14 dating, calculating the mathematical improbabilities of things that already exist, and parsing ancient Hebrew and Greek, somebody needs to ask the simple question, If 3,500 years of scientific progress can't help modern Christians figure out Genesis, then how could the ancient Israelities possibly have understood it so well? What secret did this newly liberated gaggle of Hebrew nomads take with them out of Egypt that holds the key to understanding God's telling of His own creation story? Beyond the Firmament challenges all creationist camps --whether Young-Earth, Old-Earth, or Theistic Evolutionist -- to step outside of traditional paradigms and recognize how our modern, Western, post-Enlightenment scientific worldview actually blinds us from seeing the simple truth of Creation as it was originally intended, and how our failure to grasp the theological significance of the Biblical creation model puts science and faith on a collision course.

Book Description
While researching information for the publication of my 9th book The Flat Earth As Key To Decrypt The Book Of Enoch, I was led to understanding that not only does the Bible support premise that the earth is a flat circular plane but that it is covered by the firmament as a solid transparent dome like canopy. This led me to revisit the canonical and extra Biblical texts such as The Book Of Enoch, The Book Of Jasher, The Book Of Jubilees, and myriad others, to see if not only did they affirm such idea but if they contained other little known insight which might expound upon this matter in some detailed manner. This book is the end result of that search and compilation of all of those source references. And because I include in this study much extra Biblical material which few are familiar with, I doubt one will be able to find a more complete investigation of the firmament as topic than that which is presented here. The seeker of lost paradise may seem a fool to those whom have never sought the other worlds

Book Description
A lyrical and meditative tour de force that traces the evolution of man and science, including the rise of scientific inquiry In The Firmament of Time—nominated for a National Book Award—Loren Eiseley offers a series of brilliant, provocative excursions through the history of science. A paleontologist with the soul and skill of a poet, he reflects on the many ways in which the quest for knowledge has been shaped by the changing cultures in which it emerged and developed. Examining the role of metaphor in scientific thought, anticipations of scientific discoveries in the works of poets and novelists, and the “unconscious conformity” of scientific theory to prevailing orthodoxies, he argues for the ongoing relevance of dreams, the imagination, and the irrational to scientific progress.

Book Description
'The Firmament of the Sky Dome' explores how a supernova explosion of a large star eventually resulted in the formation of planet Earth and the rest of the Solar System as we know it today. Knowing how the Earth was created is the key that unlocks the mysteries of many global events that have occurred on our planet in the past and will take place in the near future. These include the dramatic events of the first three 'days' of the Genesis 1 account of creation: the floodlighting of the entire planet, the formation of the solid dome in the sky called 'the firmament' and the emergence of a supercontinent of dry land. Other events include Noah's flood which wiped out nearly all land-living life; the dramatic parting of the Red Sea; the breakup of the supercontinent into the present say continents; Joshua's long day when the Earth appeared to stop rotating; Ahab's sundial which indicated that the Sun had moved backwards in its normal path across the sky; the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah; the extraterrestrial events that are predicted during the Great Tribulation to come; the devastation of the Earth by a Great Fire and its subsequent transformation into a paradise with the city of New Jerusalem. The book intertwines the verses from the Bible with scientific truths, and gives an entirely new insight for the interpretation of the geology of the Earth. The future of the Earth is also predicted: the Earth will be devastated by a global 'natural' nuclear explosion that will set it on fire; but this will not be the end because it will be subsequently transformed into a wonderful paradise for a new phase of existence for mankind.
