Table of contents: title: 1. Did God really say that?; title: Doubt, that insidious and insinuating thing that can ultimately lead to unbelief; title: Doubt concerning the blood of Genesis has caused many Christians to eventually distrust much of the rest of the Bible; title: 2. The Genesis foundation.; title: This chapter basically summarizes the material in the book "The Lie: Evolution"; title: All major biblical doctrines, directly or indirectly, have their foundation in the book of Genesis; title: To understand Christianity fully, one has to believe and understand the book of Genesis; title: 3. From darkness to light.; title: Opinion-oriented philosophy pervades our church today; title: People's opinions basically determine "truth"; title: We need a reformation in the church as in the days of Martin Luther; title: We must return to the proper foundation of our faith : the infallible, inerrant Word of God; title: 4. The compromise road.; title: Theistic evolution, "gap theory," and other compromise positions have resulted from the attempts to Christians to reinterpret the Bible on the basis of the fallible theories of scientists; title: These compromise positions ultimately lead to destruction; title: 5. Christianity is unique.; title: One cannot use science to prove the Bible is true; title: It does require faith to accept God's word, but it is not blind faith; title: There is plenty of evidence to substantiate this faith; title: The evidence for the global flood of Noah's day, the evidence for creation, the explanation of the races : the evidence overwhelmingly fits with what the Bible states; title: Christianity is not a blind faith; title: The evidence is real and convincing, at least to a person who does not willfully resist it; title: 6. The path to destruction.; title: The bloodbath of the French Revolution resulted because of a foundation consistent with humanist reasoning had been laid down in society; title: About the same time, the nation of England saw Christian revival, because a different foundation had been built; title: Something akin to the French Revolution is occurring today in nations around the world, because the foundation of Christianity is being eroded; title: 7. Foundation for family and nation.; title: Satan used the same method of creating doubt in Eve's mind as he did to create doubt about the book of Genesis; title: This doubt ultimately led to unbelief, and thus the destruction of the foundation of God's Word; title: The barrier against humanism was being destroyed; title: 8. The erosion of Genesis.; title: The subtle undermining of Genesis was continued in earnest by James Hutton and Charles Lyell; title: Because of their work, the concept of "uniformitarianism" was popularized; title: They helped create an environment that paved the way for the acceptance of Charles Darwin's ideas; title: 9. The pyramid effect.; title: Christian leaders, including many theologians, began to compromise between evolutionary ideas and the Bible; title: These leaders then taught their students, who eventually taught their own congregations, to compromise Genesis with evolution; title: Eventually, most of the church rejected a literal Genesis; title: 10. The generation gap.; title: Scientists are now recognizing that they have no mechanism to explain how evolution works; title: What they say is something like, "We know evolution occurs, we just don't know how it occurs!"; title: They need an outside intelligence to explain life, but they won't entertain belief in the God of the Bible; title: However, they are allowing "New Age" mysticism as a substitute for God; title: 11. Restoration, reconstruction and revival.; title: The church needs revival; title: Reconstruction of the Christian framework can happen only if the foundation for this framework is restored in society; title: Because of the compromise in the church, this restoration needs to start with God's people; title: Revival must begin in the church; title: The church needs to get back to Genesis
