Using the Socratic method, Helm and Dennis challenge readers to wrestle with Scripture itself rather than with systematic questions. This candid look at Genesis is an ideal apologetic against today's postmodern culture.

Genesis is among the most controversial books of the Bible - facing increasing attacks on its credibility and its meaning within the modern Church as fashionable theories of intelligent design and progressive creationism gain support. Compromising the literal interpretation of Scripture to reconcile faith instead with faulty scientific reasoning on the history of the earth, many within the church are abandoning the very foundational truths of Christianity. Join Ron Bigalke Jr. and influential creationist leaders in discussing the myths and realities of Genesis. In The Genesis Factor you will: Unearth the historical roots of creationism in the church - from the apostle Paul and John, to the Venerable Bede, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Francis Bacon, Galileo, James Ussher, Issac Newton, and others. Learn of the 19th century controversy between leading geologists and the "scriptural geologists" in uncovering the foundations of the oft-contentious relationship of science to Christianity and the Scriptures. Read the Scriptural interpretations that answer the questions regarding the length of a Creation week day. Study point by point the recognized standards of writing history which Genesis 1-11 meet as literal history. This powerful and needed defense of Genesis includes contributors Henry M. Morris, Christopher Cone, Terry Mortenson, Eugene Merrill, Ron J. Bigalke Jr., Tas Walker, Jonathon Henry, Larry Vardiman, John Whitcomb, and Donald DeYoung. From fossil evidence, geologic evidence, and historic evidence, and more, The Genesis Factor reinforces the validity of the scriptural account of Creation, the Great Flood, and the Tower of Babel.

The context for The Genesis Factor is the setting of the book of Genesis from the Bible. It's based upon the realization that we were originally created by God and placed in a beautiful, plentiful, and natural setting to thrive as His children. So, because our foundation is of natural substance, when we put unnatural substances in our body, the results are...you've got it...unnatural! Your Genesis Factor means you can be made new; you can be restored; you can be made whole and get your form back; and that Jesus is looking for you to do it, and He's ready to help! This Genesis Factor doesn't just make biblical sense. It makes scientific sense as well. Every day, millions of cells are dying and being replaced by millions of new ones. But did you know that if put in the wrong state, living the wrong lifestyle--dying, sick cells are replaced by more dying, sick cells? The good news is that if you've been building disease and fat, through the principle of the Genesis Factor, you can now build health and burn fat. It's God's physiological grace and metabolic mercy. No matter where you are with your health today, you can be made new--or "newer" by tapping in to the Genesis Factor. In this program, we're going to reveal to you the best, easiest, and fastest possible ways to maximize fitness, optimize leanness, and eat right for your hormones--all as an essential plan to upgrade and/or restore wellness.

NOTE: This is a fill in the blanks workbook for the extended class called, "The Genesis Factor."PURPOSE: The Genesis Factor is a course intended to transform a person's perception of reality and empower them to live in and understand the spiritual world based on the priesthood of Jesus Christ called, "the Order of Melchizedek".

To understand why and how God created Humanity is essential to understand the key questions of life: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? The Genesis Factor is not a discussion on why or how God created planet earth in seven days, but something further reaching. It educates us on those essential questions, as well as our connection to divine purpose, eternal existence and prophetic reality. It addresses why God at a specific point in time came in the person of Jesus Christ, established the Church, and explains the reason we thousands of years later, can enter into the next phase of spiritual development as we connect to humanity. HISTORY: The Genesis Factor is over a quarter of a century in the making, the course started as a foundations class in 1987 with the recognition that the average Foundations/New Member's Class seemed to only address doctrines of belief, church membership responsibilities and spiritual gifts. While these are important, the need to prepare people for the greatest essential that Christ desires of us for this world was essential... Connection to the Divine, one another and humanity... The only way to do this was to develop a course that would facilitate a person's spiritual sensors (beyond their gifts) to actually perceive themselves and "Divine Reality". Thus, The Genesis Factor was born...
