The Neptunian, or Water Theory of Creation

The work surveys competing creation theories—especially fire-based and water-based accounts—and argues that geological and paleontological evidence best supports a Neptunian model in which matter formed cold and rock developed by sedimentation, aquatic deposition, and uplift. It examines volcanic and geyser activity, glacial episodes, and fossil, shell, coral, and coal records to reconstruct an early tropical, water-dominated globe and mechanisms for mountain-raising. Biblical cosmological passages, particularly poetic and prophetic texts, are reinterpreted to harmonize scripture with this geological reading, with a broader aim of reconciling natural science and theological belief.
