Abstract

This research paper introduces the Creation Health Model (CHM), a framework for understanding health and disease from a creationist perspective, emphasizing the biblical events of Creation, Fall, and Flood. The model posits that deviations from the initial design of Creation, primarily through lifestyle choices, increase the probability of disease. The author supports the CHM with evidence from cancer and cardiovascular epidemiology, concluding that a lifestyle consistent with the CHM can reduce the risk of illness, enhance overall well-being, and improve public health. The paper argues that the CHM offers a more comprehensive and understandable context for health and disease than evolutionary models, potentially aiding in developing predictive prevention models and therapeutics.
