Synopsis
Chaos and Creation presents de Grazia’s thesis that the Earth and solar system are geologically young — formed or fundamentally reorganized within historical memory. Drawing on myth, ancient texts, geology, and plasma physics, de Grazia argues that the cosmological order familiar to modern science is a recent post-catastrophic stabilization, not a primordial given. The book systematically demolishes the uniformitarian assumption that slow processes explain all geological and astronomical features.
Key themes include: the role of electrical discharge in shaping planetary surfaces, the reconstruction of ancient skies from myth and ritual, and the convergence of catastrophist evidence across unrelated cultures. This volume lays the theoretical foundation for the entire Quantavolution series.

- Evidence for a young solar system from astronomical and mythological sources
- Electrical and plasma mechanics as the creative force behind planetary formation
- World-wide flood and fire traditions as historical records
- The convergence of catastrophist timelines across cultures
