What We Believe

An originalist approach to Scripture and creation.

On Interpretation

An Originalist Approach

My goal is not to adhere to what is generally labelled as a “young earth” or “old earth” interpretation of the creation account. My goal in interpreting the Bible is to determine the original meaning of the author.

On Creation

Genesis, Taken Literally

We believe the beginning chapters of Genesis should be taken literally, because they were written to be understood that way by Moses. The texts indicate that God created the heavens, the earth, and all they contain in six consecutive rotations of the earth.

Genesis 1

On the Flood

A Global Flood & Created Kinds

We believe the flood recorded in Genesis 6–9 was a global flood, and all the scientifically named species of organisms are the result of adaptive radiation of the kinds God created on days 3, 5, and 6 — the land animals in particular being descendants of those creatures which Noah carried with him on the ark.
