Evidence of Creation in
Physics & Mathematics
The books are listed below in roughly increasing order of difficulty or
technicality; an effort has been made in each book’s description to indicate the
normal reading level. If any of the books become unavailable from Barnes&Noble.com for
any reason, they should be available from the Answers in
Genesis Bookstore.
 Time and Eternity
Dr. Werner Gitt
Dr. Gitt, a leading information scientist, begins by examining time as a
physical quantity. He then proceeds to apply the laws and theorems of information science
(discovered and formulated by himself) to time, examining what time is in relation to our
transient perspective. In the course of this investigation, it becomes apparent that his
rigorous scientific approach still serves to confirm a Biblical view of time. Finally, Dr.
Gitt takes a last look at time within the broader context of eternity. On the other side
of death, time is no more; it dissolves into eternity as one waking from a dream. For the
general adult reader.
 Starlight and Time
Dr. D. Russell Humphreys
Subtitled: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe. If
the universe is 6,000 to 10,000 years old, then how can we see starlight from stars
millions of light years away? Dr. Humphreys proposes a new theory not based on the Big
Bang model of cosmology, but based on a young universe cosmology that completely satisfies
the laws of physics and is completely mathematically workable. At issue is Einstein’s
Theory of Relativity on which Big Bang cosmology is based. The Big Bang cosmology has an
unproven assumption at its base: that the universe is infinite. Take Relativity, plug in
the unknown assumption that the universe is infinite, do the math, and out comes the Big
Bang cosmology. Humphreys takes Relativity, plugs in a different unknown assumption, that
the universe is bounded, does the math, and out comes the fascinating young earth
cosmology described in this book.
Dr. Humphreys is not saying that this theory is the way it is, but that
this theory is a possible way that it could be; and if he can come up with this theory,
then how many other theories are there out there, one of which might prove to be the
correct one, if only there were freedom of inquiry in the scientific establishment? Dr.
Humphreys is a highly qualified researcher employed since 1979 at Sandia National
Laboratories in nuclear physics, geophysics, and pulsed-power research. His current
project for Sandia is in theoretical nuclear physics and radiation hydrodynamics in an
effort to produce the world’s first lab-scale thermonuclear fusion. He has published
over 20 papers in secular scientific journals, as well as countless creationist scientific
papers. He holds two U.S. patents, and has received numerous awards and honors throughout
his career, including most recently from Sandia: the Award for Excellence for
contributions to light ion-fusion target theory. Please keep his qualifications in mind
when reading the ad homineum attacks of this book posted by evolutionists. Written with
the layman in mind, with all the physics and math in the appendix for those who want to
delve into it.
 Thermodynamics and
the Development of Order
Dr. Emmett L. Williams
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that everything tends toward
entropy. Entropy is the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system. (Available energy
which is necessary to do work in a closed system is constantly decreasing while the amount
of breakdown of matter is constantly increasing.) This means, in very general terms, that
systems left to themselves become more and more disorderly over time. This is just as true
for the universe as a whole as it for your kids’ rooms. Notice that this principle of
physics is a law; and that darwinism is a theory. Laws are certain, established physical
processes; theories are unproven guesses. Theories must be proven in order to become laws.
An unproven theory, darwinism, completely contradicts a proven law of physics, the Second
Law of Thermodynamics. This book by Dr. Williams details the creation/evolution arguments
that touch on thermodynamics. While technical, it can still be understood by the general
high school through adult reader with a basic understanding of physics.
 Truth and the Transcendent
Dr. Larry L. Zimmerman
Subtitled: The Origin, Nature, and Purpose of Mathematics. This thoroughly
documented book is the result of Dr. Zimmerman’s years of personal study on the
question: “How do you know that God created mathematics?” The first and long
overdue step toward giving God the credit for mathematics. This technical book is for the
general college and adult reader.
Using the Online Catalog
 This online catalog is made possible through an association with Barnes&Noble.com. Clicking on the book title or book cover will take
you to Barnes&Noble.com’s information page about that book. You can look at its
price, availability, any discounts currently taken for that title, reviews of the book,
and other information, as well as order it if you decide to purchase the book. You can
