Ury, Ph.D. United Wesleyan Graduate Institute, Hong Kong, China Coming to Grips with Genesis is an excellent book written by men with impeccable academic credentials upholding the recent creation of the earth in six literal days just as God through Moses revealed it. Young Earth Creationism is not a recent upstart view, but is the view long held by the church until the church's scholars were, beginning in the 18th century, sadly seduced by the pseudo-scientific theories of anti-biblical scientists operating under uniformitarian presuppositions which are inimical to the revealed truths of Creation in six days and a world-wide Deluge.
