This site is dedicated to introducing our book, Settled Science, to those seeking a better understanding of how the natural and supernatural worlds came to be, and humanity’s extraordinary adaptation to both.

Settled Science offers scientific answers to questions almost everyone ponders.

• How did the universe form, and from what?
• How did life on Earth begin and change over time?
• How did humans evolve?
• How and why did we invent religion?

Written primarily for individuals who do not have a strong background in the natural sciences, Floyd Glidewell takes the reader on a fascinating journey from the Big Bang itself to the marvelous achievements of man, and documents his selfish destruction of the Earth’s environment—a fragile system that has taken 4.5 billion years to build. Each step along the way is explained simply and clearly so readers can fully understand.

Learn how each major event in Earth’s history has had an impact on man’s evolution, and how man’s brain evolved capable of both wondrous and evil thoughts. Settled Science also discusses the most likely events that have led man to believe in supernatural explanations for his difficult living conditions in the present, and explores his hope for a better life after death. Join Floyd Glidewell as he takes you on an unforgettable trip through the universe and the history of man.

Of course! In my opinion that is. How far into the future extraterrestrial life will be found, no one can predict. But, I can predict with reasonable certainty that the scientists who prove the existence of extraterrestrial life will be despised by as many as who presently despise Charles Darwin. Darwin, of course, is responsible for revealing how life, in all its wondrous and splendid forms, arrived on Earth. I predict that then, as now, future Creationists and creative Intelligent Designers will devise extraordinary new explanations for how life on other planets might have gotten there.

To those of you who have already done so, and those planning to soon purchase and read my book, Settled Science, thank you. If you stumbled onto this site accidentally and are not aware of the book, please take a peek before clicking off. The book is a condensed and easy to understand layout of how most physicists and biologists think trillions of large and small natural events, some happening millions and/or billions of years apart, are still creating and changing our complex and immense universe filled with stars, planets, microbes, plants, animals, and—US! You will find the book to be both educational, and interesting, unlike many other science books so technical only research scientists can understand them. I promise you that reading it will not affect your moral values and will not affect your social standing—if you don't tell anyone you read it!

Twenty three hundred years ago, Greek naturalists circulated the idea that all life forms on Earth started from a single source and changed over time by natural means. The idea was quickly quashed by religious leaders who deemed it a threat to their prestige and growing economic and political power. The idea, however, lingered within the scientific community for two thousand years before it burst onto the public stage when Charles Darwin published his book, “On The Origin Of Species,” in 1859.

Strong opposition to the idea by some religious and political leaders continues to this day and, in my opinion, for the same reasons. Molecular biologists and geneticists have proven that, except for the Archaeans, the DNA of all living things contain some of the same genes present in the descendants of our oldest ancestors, bacteria, and the genes are similarly located in each. This is powerful evidence that life did indeed evolve from a single source, but how? What mechanism could have produced all the diverse life forms that have ever lived on Earth?
