What really happened “in the beginning”?

For centuries, Christians have wrestled to harmonize Scripture with science. Did God create the universe billions of years ago—or just thousands? Were the heavens and the earth formed in the same week, or is there a deeper story written between the lines of Genesis 1?

In Waters of the Deep, physician and researcher Jonathan Freed, MD, explores an evidence-based creation model that affirms both the authority of Scripture and the vastness of the cosmos. Building on the hydroplate theory and a close reading of the biblical text, Dr. Freed proposes the Old Universe / Young Earth framework—one that restores reason, reverence, and coherence to the creation narrative.

Written for sincere Christians who love God’s Word but struggle with the seeming conflict between faith and modern science, Waters of the Deep offers a compelling, scientifically informed, and biblically faithful vision of creation—one that strengthens confidence in both the Bible and its Author.
