A NEW CREATION CONCEPT.
=======================

A new book entitled, "BRIDGING THE GAP:  The First 6 Days" authored by
petroleum geologist H. Donald Daae has recently been published by Genesis
International Research Publishers.  This book presents a new creation
concept which united the geological earth sciences and the biblical record.
Don Daae says, "Geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers and earth
science people like this concept as it answers their questions on the
subject of evolution and creation".

For over 100 years the geological and archaeological earth sciences have
been engaged in an unnecessary confrontation with scripture.  When Charles
Darwin published "The Origin of the Species" in 1859 and the science of
geology stated that the earth was millions of years old, Biblical
scholars and believers vehemently opposed both evolution and geology.
Likewise, scientists opposed the narrow-minded biblical account of
creation.  Today, the fossil record is revealing the inadequacies
of evolution as a scientific theory while the geological and biblical
accounts of creation are becoming increasingly consistent and
compatible with one another.

"BRIDGING THE GAP: The first 6 Days" explains how the order of creation
outlined in the Bible corresponds to the geological record.  Furthermore,
it proposes that the absence of the missing links sought by the
evolutionists can readily be explained by the concept of "Special Creation".
According to special creation, there were literally thousands of separate,
successive acts of creation throughout the history of the earth. The place
where each new species appear in the fossil record marks the approximate
time that God created that species of life in adult form with the
genetic ability to propagate offspring.

The new creation concept outlined in "BRIDGING THE GAP: The First 6 Days"
successfully accomplishes what it's title suggests - it breaks down
the divisions that have separated science and religion, and provides a
logical and reasonable approach to understanding the relationship
between man's scientific interpretations and the biblical account of
creation. <><><><><>

Some Background:
----------------

The Genesis International Research Association (G.I.R.A.) came into being
on April 22, 1989.  The Board of Directors chose to incorporate Federally,
so that it could operate nationally or even internationally as time
progresses.

Says the Executive Director, Don Daae, P. Geol., "We believe the Lord has
brought the G.I.R.A. into existence at this time. It's primary purposes
are four-fold.

1) To give Honour and Glory to our Lord God, the creator of heaven and earth.
2) To demonstrate that the biblical and earth science records are completely
   compatible with each other.
3) To help fellow creationists find common ground and to bridge the gap
   between the biblical and geological earth science records.
4) To promote the objects of the Association."
