Before Genesis

The Unauthorized History of Tohu, Bohu, and the Chaos Dragon in the Land Before Time

By: Donna Howell, Thomas Horn

Narrated by: Johnathan Welsh

By far, the leading interpretation of todays Church regarding the age of this planet, Earth, takes us back to approximately 4004 BC: the year believed to be Adams creation. However, just as Galileo challenged the Church to accept that Earth circles the sun (not the other way around), it is far beyond time for traditional interpretations regarding our planets earliest ages (and what occurred between God and Lucifer during those eras) to be updated in light of what we know today. Once this is done, the evidence overwhelmingly stacks in favor of a harmony between science and theology.

Dr. Thomas Horn and his research assistant, Donna Howell, have waded through thousands of scholarly works to present an astounding study like none other in this field that brings a fresh perspective to contemporary sciences, the age-old question of what Gods first enemy did to Earth in the days it was without form, and void (Genesis 1:2), and what may have really happened in the days of Adam.

In Before Genesis, you will learn: the basics of the debate raging between the Old Earth and Young Earth Creationist groups and the answers to these issues straight from the Word of God; how ancient archeological sites (such as Gobekli Tepe, Puerta de Hayu Marca, Tiahuanaco, Baalbek, and Catalhoyuk) point to an intelligent race of beings (fallen angels...and something else?) on Earth alive before the time of Adam and under Lucifers fallen influence; what Earth was like during the without form, and void era of Genesis 1:2; Lucifers biblically recognized role as Earths serpentine king; what the biblical prophets said about this fallen cherub that covereth; who the perpetrator in Eden really was; the origin of the great lizards weve come to know as dinosaurs; and, finally, for the first time, the conclusion to the events of Genesis that shockingly merges all contributing voices (Young and Old Creationist groups, as well as science) into one balanced and agreeable climax.

Mind blowing theories that fit

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. I have read many similar books on the subject, but this one has some incredible new insights that I have not heard before. The dinosaur theory blew me away. A controversial but necessary conversation. Highly recommended. If you enjoy thinking out of the box of conventional Christian doctrine, yet wish to stay within the truth of scripture, this book is for you. The narration is also exceptional and deserves a special mention. A very well written book and executed brilliantly.

The whole book💖

The whole book was fabulous, so much to take in. Will be listening again and getting the book for deep diving.😃

Truth! The Bible and Science do coexhist.

I have always believed we are living in Earth 2.0. There is the gap in Genesis and a bread crumb trail of scripture as well as numerous correct translations of words from Old Hebrew that verify that the Earth is indeed very old. That the Earth suffered due to the war in Heaven between God and Satan and his rebellious angels. it ultimately destroyed the first Earth. Read and make note, study and reflect. Utilize this as an evangelism tool! Praise be to God!

Very interesting concept

Before Genesis is an an excellent listen. I really love the fact that defender publishing is beginning to do more audiobooks as I believe this can be extremely helpful to their ministry. Donna does a great job showing support for the idea of a older earth while staying true to the young earth theory with the creation of Adam. I believe this is a book they can bring many nonbelievers back to Christ Jesus who are explanation of how earth can be both young and old. Science and the belief in God and Jesus as the Messiah, not separate and distinct issues.. as Donna has made clear and this book God is the master scientist.

Solid storytelling, narration and compelling evidences

This must be the most well written book I’ve listened to so far in both the storytelling and its narration. The excellency of the book covers various edges of scores and I’m generally pleased. However, I cannot but call out that “you’d have to intentionally ignore certain scriptures or dial down their individual strength to arrive at various assumptions that this book proposes. I’m not whom you’d refer to as a scientific mind as we’d consider those who work on genome and critical areas of discovery but simply by reading the word of the Lord—I’ve come to the conclusion that this earth is an old one years ago.

However, the proposition of “angels” intermingling with “women” doesn’t hold together in my mind in view of numerous scriptures—even from the Lord Himself that said “you do err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God…for they neither marry nor are given in marriage….as angels in heaven”

The entire story will still hold together without the idea of angels having an intercourse with women in those days—rather by the law of hybridization right from the garden, the scriptures being cryptic and symbolic. The serpent wouldn’t have a seed if there isn’t truly one to call a “seed” and the woman wouldn’t have a seed if there wouldn’t be one to call “the seed” of the woman.

Thanks so much for writing this as it provides evidences for a lot of questions in my mind.
