While the article is indeed interesting, if a bit technical, I would not necessarily say it "proves" the creation account, but rather it offers an explanation of how it unfolded.

"The first event of creation was the creation of all the mass of the Universe in the form of the elemental particles, each particle imbued with a power of attraction. The Universe was apparently filled uniformly with these invisible particles and they began attracting each other. The particulate matter that was to become the earth was scattered over the Universe with the other particles."

While I wholeheartedly believe 100% in the Biblical account of creation, I get a little uneasy when explanations of how it occurred are proposed which seem to appeal to physical processes in an attempt to theorize just how it occurred ("The Universe was apparently filled uniformly with these invisible particles and they began attracting each other").

While what the author says could be true, I do not believe the Bible gives us enough information to fill in the details of how Creation was actually accomplished. Instead of trying to understand the Creation in terms of processes that we as finite humans can understand, my opinion is that we only need know that it was a totally miraculous event which is beyond human understanding.

I know you are sincerely trying to validate the truthfulness of the Bible's account of creation, my brother, and I am with you 100% on the truthfulness of that account. I'm not trying to invalidate your source, because it could have happened just as the author says. However, I believe it requires a bit too much of 'reading between the lines' in my opinion. No offense intended, just my 2 cents FWIW.

Upon graduating from the Behavioral Neuroscience Program at Boston University in 1991, he trained at the Aphasia Research Center at the Boston VA Medical Center in neurolinguistics and brain-cognitive correlation techniques. He then began developing an evolutionary approach to problems of brain and behavior and currently is studying the evolution of the frontal lobes, the evolution of the two mammalian sleep states (REM and NREM) and the evolution of religion in human cultures. He has published numerous articles and chapters on these topics pioneering the investigation of the role of the frontal lobes in the mediation of religious experience.
