How Our Earth's Age Impacts Our Relationship With God

In The Greatest Mystery of All Time, C. J. Bartels explores the intersection of science, history, and theology to examine how our understanding of time shapes the way we interpret the natural world, the story of creation, and God. Drawing from biblical texts, the history of geology, fossil discoveries, and modern cosmology, the book examines the evidence behind competing models of earth history and invites readers to consider a deeper possibility: What if the story of the world is not as old as we have been told? And if that possibility deserves consideration, what might it mean for the way we understand God’s relationship with humanity?

This is not simply a book about geology or cosmology. It is a book about the story we believe we are living in—and our emotional relationship with the creator.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The Answer To The Most Important Questions... Is Now Two Books!

1 of 2

2 of 2

Back together, in their original two-book format, these two works are written for anyone who has ever paused—even briefly—and wondered whether the universe is more than accident; whether reason, morality, and meaning point beyond themselves; and whether the question of God can be approached without slogans, caricatures, or blind faith.

Rather than beginning with religion, the first book begins with reality itself: the world we experience, the minds we trust, the moral lines we cannot escape, and the questions that refuse to stay buried. Step by step, they examine whether doubt truly explains what we see—or whether it merely postpones the hardest answers.

These are not simply books about geology, cosmology, science, or religion. They are about the story we believe we are living in—and our emotional relationship with the Creator. You may arrive skeptical, uncertain, wounded, or convinced of disbelief, but these books do not ask you to believe prematurely. They ask you to think carefully, follow the evidence honestly, and consider whether the landscape you stand on is more solid—and more intentional—than you were ever told.

What sets Matter of Fact Books apart is its refusal to argue emotionally. Instead, each book lays out claims, sources, historical context, and internal contradictions with a level of clarity that forces the reader to slow down and think. The writing does not shout. It does not insult. It does not assume ignorance. It simply presents facts—often uncomfortable ones—and allows the reader to decide whether their beliefs can withstand honest examination.

Where To Buy

The tone is especially notable. The author writes as someone who has lived inside the questions, not above them. There is no sense of superiority, no sense of “winning” an argument. The posture is one of accountability—asking whether what we claim to believe actually aligns with history, Scripture, reason, or lived reality.
