Open invitation · Seven disciplines
IF THE SHOE FITS,
WEAR IT.
We're looking for expertise—not agreement.
GEI invites scholars, professionals, independent researchers, and curious specialists to examine a proposed interpretation of Genesis 1–6 through linguistic, textual, hydraulic, engineering, and archaeological questions. If your expertise fits one of the seven disciplines, there's a place to start.
We're not looking for people who believe the blueprint. We're looking for people qualified to examine it.
You bring the expertise. We'll bring the blueprint. Challenge the blueprint. Agreement is not required.
Research integrity notice: GEI is not presented as academic consensus, an established Hebrew translation, proven ancient hydraulic technology, or confirmed archaeological discovery. This initiative distinguishes observation, analogy, hypothesis, evidence, and unresolved questions. Critical review and corrections are invited.
Seven Disciplines, One Investigation
Each pathway has a distinct research question. Specialists are invited to examine only the questions within their expertise—agreement with GEI is neither expected nor required.
THE LANGUAGE INVESTIGATION
Hebrew Scholars
Help distinguish linguistic evidence from linguistic speculation. Review Hebrew vocabulary, morphology, syntax, semantic range, proposed word associations, and departures from established scholarship.
EXAMINE THE HEBREWTHE TEXTUAL INVESTIGATION
Biblical Researchers
Review Genesis 1–6 literary structure, sequence, genre, translation choices, contextual interpretation, canonical context, alternative readings, and whether GEI mappings follow from the text.
EXAMINE THE TEXTTHE STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION
Civil Engineers
Review physical coherence of the proposed containment system: foundations, dam/reservoir arrangement, outlets, channels, loads, materials, elevation, and structural sequencing.
TEST THE STRUCTURETHE WATER INVESTIGATION
Hydrologists
Review watershed logic, collection, drainage, water balance, storage, controlled release, flow direction, elevation/head, and whether proposed sequences resemble recognizable water-management principles.
INVESTIGATE THE FLOWTHE ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY INVESTIGATION
Archaeologists
Review securely dated evidence for ancient dams, canals, reservoirs, irrigation, mills, and water-control technologies. Evaluate chronology, geography, cultural context, and what physical evidence would be required.
EXAMINE THE ANCIENT EVIDENCETHE MECHANICAL INVESTIGATION
Mechanical Engineers
Review proposed waterwheel/mill connections, operating principles, flow and head requirements, power transfer, shafts/gearing, and mechanical plausibility.
TEST THE MECHANISMTHE COMPARATIVE TRADITIONS INVESTIGATION
Ancient Near Eastern Scholars
Examine relevant Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and other ancient creation traditions; assess source languages, textual histories, chronology, cultural context, and meaningful differences as well as similarities with Genesis.
COMPARE THE TRADITIONSOne Shared Investigation. Different Areas of Expertise.
Researchers do not need to evaluate the entire GEI framework. Each contributor can examine a defined question within their own discipline.
Research contributors
For scholars, professionals, students, and independent researchers with relevant expertise.
Possible contributions: linguistic review, textual analysis, engineering assessment, hydrological evaluation, archaeological sources, mechanical calculations, and comparative textual research.
Research supporters
For interested readers, question-raisers, source finders, and people following the investigation.
Possible contributions: questions, source suggestions, constructive critiques, corrections, and interest in public research updates.
The Shared Review Process
Define
Identify a precise research question and the discipline qualified to examine it.
Investigate
Record evidence, sources, assumptions, methods, and alternative explanations.
Challenge
Document objections, corrections, limitations, and what could weaken the hypothesis.
Synthesize
Compare specialist findings without treating one discipline's review as approval of the whole model.
The question every reviewer should ask
“What would have to be true for this interpretation to be wrong?”
GEI welcomes evidence that supports, refines, limits, or challenges its proposals. Negative findings and unresolved questions are part of the research record.
What a research application should include
- Name or preferred display name and a private contact email
- Primary discipline and optional secondary discipline
- Optional title, affiliation, ORCID, or professional profile
- Relevant experience and the question you would like to examine
- Preferred participation: specialist contributor or research supporter
- Separate, optional permission for public attribution
Privacy: Contact details and private submissions should not be posted in public comments. Public attribution must be opt-in. No home address, date of birth, phone number, or government identification is needed.
Application status: received · under review · accepted · waitlisted · declined · withdrawn. Submission status and application status are tracked separately in the planned private workspace.
