The Genesis Column 
Correlating the Creation Days of Genesis with the Geologic Column

It is the assertion of Old-Earth Creationism that God created the Earth and then made it into an inhabitable environment over the course of a ‘week’ of epoch-long creation ‘days.’ It is the assertion of modern science that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old and has reached such an age by passing through a number of geologic periods that are differentiated by stratigraphic, paleontological, and other empirical markers. Therefore, it seems very logical that if one holds to the veracity of these two basic assertions, then the long ‘creation days’ of Genesis and the geologic ages of modern science can and should be effectively correlated with one another in some cohesive and systematic manner. Here we offer our origins correlation model, The Genesis Column, which does just that.
