The Truth About The Creation
God's Glory, God's Handiwork, God's
Word, The Genesis Account
A Dissertation by Pastor Ed Rice January 2017
ABSTRACT
God's inerrant, infallible,
verbally
inspired word
clearly depicts his six-day creation account, his account of his
world flood wherein waters prevailed on the whole Earth for a hundred
and fifty days,
his purposes for man, who God made in his image and likeness, and the
redeeming role of his only begotten Son in that purpose. A believer's
faith in that declaration need not be a blind faith. In the past few
decades it has been discovered that 1) the black-hole swallows mass,
space, and time back into the nothing that they were created from, 2)
trapped between Earth's crust and core, under great pressure and
temperature, is three-fourths of all the world's water, and 3) the
continental glacier which covered much of America dissipated less
than 6,000 years ago. True science, exploring and using Albert
Einstein's theories of relativity, can embed these truths into a
believers defense of his faith, and put the atheistic evolutionist to
shame. This dissertation explores black-holes, algebra's
multi-dimensions, relativity, and the glacier that formed the NYS
Finger Lakes, to assemble some tools which ratify God's exacting
account of his creation of the universe and flooding of our planet.

PROLOGUE
The Nineteenth Psalm
«To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David.»
The
heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his
handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not
heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words
to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the
sun, Which
is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a
strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the
heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid
from the heat thereof.
The
law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the
LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are
right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for
ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy
servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can
understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back
thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion
over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the
great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of
my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my
redeemer.
Personal Testimony
of Pastor Edward Rice. I was
saved in 1960 at the age of eight. My father and mother were saved
and founding members of Fellowship Baptist Church in Gang Mills New
York. In 1958 my dad, Levi O. Rice, an agnostic, was invited by Cecil
Palm to be a founding member of a Baptist church; two weeks later
both of my parents were born-again-saved. My mother, Doris was
converted form Roman Catholicism, and became a Christian. She stopped
her Roman penance and practiced Bible repentance, stopped praying to
Mary and called upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save her. She was thus
converted from Roman Catholicism to the Lord Jesus Christ. According
to Matthew 18:3, everyone needs to be converted
from something. Two years after my mom and dad were born again I was
saved in revival services with Evangelist Dale and Opel Linbaugh. Opel
cut the flannel graph burden of sin off little Christian's back
in her Pilgrim's Progress presentation, and I was born-again-saved
before it hit the basement floor. In 1995 I retired from the USAF as
a systems engineer and became an ordained Baptist Preacher of the
Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Verily I say unto you, Except
ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven" (Matt 18:3).
