| R.M., Teacher, M.Ed.—I
wholeheartedly believe that a
creationist can be a scientist. There is
no greater authority on science than the
Bible. God’s Word has revealed to us
everything that modern “science” is
trying to prove today. We have the
answers and a personal relationship with
the Creator. In our classrooms, we need
to have a more defined Christian
testimony. This is evident in the
decline of our educational system. We
need to take our schools back. True
science does not prove that the Bible is
correct, the Bible confirms what true
science is out to prove. The bottom line
is that God said it; that settles it!
|
| M.C., Retired Physician,
Researcher; M.D.—I have found
that careful examination of quality
scientific data supports a young earth
creation model. Therefore, I believe
creationists are the better teachers and
scientists.
|
| D.L., Environmental Engineer,
PE—I could write a book about
this subject, but to keep it short and
simple, I find that those who really
study the science of the world can in no
way doubt the amazing presence of God.
The amount of evidence of design alone
increased my faith as a Christian and
also makes me a better engineer. As an
environmental engineer who tries to
design along with the environment and do
what God intended it to do, I am just
constantly amazed at how God designed
this earth.
|
| A.L., Superintendent: Training
Traffic and Law Enforcement—This
debate best personifies the war raging
between God and the principalities of
evil. I believe in creation
wholeheartedly and intend to persuade as
many people to believe as well.
|
| D.B., Remote Sensing
Scientist, B.S. Physics 1981—Creation
is inescapable and undeniable. As a
scientist, I find that a literal
interpretation of scripture and
observational science in complete
support is straight forward and logical.
Anything else is far more difficult and
violates logic and reason. I am
continually amazed at the creative power
of God demonstrated in Genesis. As a
physicist, I appreciate the depth and
complexity of all that He defined and
called into existence simply by speaking
a Word. How could man even begin to
grasp the sheer vastness of this? What
an awesome God we serve. He created the
universe in all its depth and yet He
knows you and me by name.
|
| C.B., Orthopaedic Surgeon, MD—I
see God’s creation every day in the
human body. Surgeons can put bones back
in their proper position, but only God
can make them heal.
|
| F.B., MA Science Education—For
years I have critiqued your responses to
popular theistic evolutionists: I have
been a biologist, environmental educator
and biology teacher who held to theistic
evolution, thinking there must be a
loophole somewhere in the scriptures
that would allow for long ages and some
kind of evolution. I was constantly
proven wrong. Creationism has the best
scientists, thinkers, writers and
debaters that mankind has to offer. I
plan to devote the remainder of my years
to promoting the gospel through the
creation account.
|
| M.T., Design Engineer, BSEE—I
am a scientist/engineer and am
completely convinced of creation as well
as a young earth. The WHOLE Bible IS
truth. I love what you are doing. I
completely agree that the Biblical
foundation has been destroyed by
academia and want to help build it back.
There was an attempt 2 years ago to
accredit the Masters in Science
Education from ICR in my home state
(Texas) but it was rejected. What else
can I do to help?
|
| H.J., 8th grade science
teacher, BA in Biology, MS in
Environmental Education—I am a
public school science teacher and I am
also a believer in Jesus Christ AND
creationism. As a teacher, I am forced
to teach evolution but no one has told
me NOT to teach about creationism. I
tell my students that I don’t believe in
evolution. I don’t think that our earth
and solar system exist because of a big
bang. On the contrary, a higher power
must have done this. That usually gets
them thinking! I just wanted to thank
you for this resource. It is full of
interesting articles and I will
definitely use this as a helpful aid as
I plan my lessons. Thank you!
|
| M.B., Biochemist, Lab Manager,
MS—I am a scientist and having
an organization such as AiG is a
blessing!! To be bombarded by all the
evolutionary talk on a day to day basis,
it’s encouraging to have material by
real scientists that believe the Bible.
Creationists can do real and good
science I think better than the
evolutionists.
|
| P.S., MBArch, MA(Applied
Linguistics), PGDipSLT, DipTching
(Tertiary), BSc —I am a Bible
Lecturer and ESOL teacher at Eastwest
College of Inter-cultural studies in
Hamilton, New Zealand. I am one hundred
percent behind you and what you
represent. I’m working on my Doctor of
Religious Education which includes a
paper on creation vs evolution. Please
keep up the good work.
|
| D.A., Retired Professor
Emeritus, M. A.—My daugher,
grandson and wife accompanied me to the
Creation Museum the first year it was
open. We were pleased with the work that
has been done in presenting evidence of
the truthfulness of Genesis and a “young
earth.”
|
| A.H., Marine Biologist, Fishes
Research Specialist, M.S.—Thank
you AIG for your ministry in support of
a biblical worldview with a focus on
Jesus Christ.
|
| T.M., Master Degree in
Curriculum and Instruction; pursuing
doctorate degree in education at present—As
a creationist science teacher, it is
interesting to me that scientists use
Biblical concepts in their work, yet
many of them don’t seem to know it. As
Jason Lisle points out, many folks like
to use Biblical truths to refute the
Bible itself. I am so grateful for the
resource that AIG is to so many of us on
the “front lines” in the educational
field. As long as this country allows us
to speak freely, my voice shall declare
what a great God He is, and that
everyday operational science confirms
His gifts to us. My class travels all
the way from Minnesota every year to
experience your great Creation Museum!
Blessings to you all.
|
| H.M., M. Ed. & Ed. D.;
Professor of Education at Piedmont
Baptist College —I am a former
Christian school science teacher and
current professor of education. I am
glad to count myself among those who
accept the literal account of creation
as biblical, scientific, and logical. A
literal creation is the foundation of
Christian education; to understand the
Creator is the most reasonable way to
introduce the Savior.
|
| A.B., Chemist, Miss, BS, PhD
in progress—Hello, I am
interested in adding my name to the
modern scientists list and in being
involved in the peer review process if
possible. I have read the “scientist
inclusion procedure” and I would like to
start the process. In summary, I am a
2nd year doctoral student at University
of California, Davis in the Chemistry
program. My classwork emphasis is
Organic Chemistry and my research
emphasis is Inorganic Chemistry. I grew
up in a strong Christian home in
Virginia and was saved at a young age.
My parents and I have been long
supporters of AIG and Young Earth
Creationism. I was homeschooled up
through high school. I attended Liberty
University and then transferred to The
Master’s College where I received my BS
in Biology. AIG has had a tremendous
impact on my life and spiritual growth.
I am very thankful to the Lord for His
blessing on your ministry. I would like
to give back in whatever means possible
to strengthen the body of Christ and
glorify God. Please let me know in what
ways I can be of service to your
ministry.
|
| R.L., B.S., Chemistry,
University of Kansas; M.D., Kansas
University Medical School, F.A.C.S,
surgeon— It is to our shame and
disgrace that the glory of God in His
creation is stolen by teachers espousing
evolution and theistic evolution. What
glory we see just looking across the
room at our spouse, or children! What
glory in just looking out the window!
What glory in pondering the complexity
we are finding in cellular biology! No
amount of false “scientific” teaching
can fool all the people all the time
--even us “uneducated” without PhD s!
Thank you for the Creation Museum and
for adhering to the whole Word of God!
|
| M.F., Master de biologie
cellulaire (seven years in university of
sciences) —I am a christian
teacher in biology. I live in France. In
my country evolutionism is a very big
problem. We don’t have enough support to
teach the truth about evolution and
creation. I am very happy to know
“Answers in Genesis” and I want to be a
member of the minister of creation.
|
| R.G., Chemistry Teacher,
Masters in Education, Roberts Weslyan
College, BS in Chemistry from Rochester
Institute of Technology —First
of all I am a Christian who loves our
Lord Jesus, and I believe the Bible is
His inerrant Word to us. Therefore I do
believe in the literal 6-days of
creation. I am a teacher in the
Rochester NY area. I teach chemistry and
forensic science. I was a chemist for 24
years for a large corporation in this
area. I have been a teacher now for the
past six years. Evidence from chemistry
is absolutely devastating to the
evolutionary point of view. I share that
often with my students. I love your
Ministry and website!! I will worship
toward thy holy temple, and praise thy
name for thy lovingkindness and for thy
truth: for thou hast magnified thy word
above all thy name. Psalm 138:2
|
| O.A., B.S. Physics—Recently
I had a discussion with my scientist
friend from UCLA. He challenged my
creationist views even though he was a
supposed Christian. God taught me that I
need to really dive deep into
researching creation science to be able
to defend my faith. The free information
on this site is vital for my research to
stand up for the God who made the
universe.
|
| M.M., Teacher B.A. in History—The
Evolution Theory is so full of holes and
getting more porous all the time. No one
has one single piece of empirical
evidence for evolution. Their belief
system is based on opinion and very
shaky data. I am very happy to hear that
there is a museum telling the real story
of creation.
|
| G.W., MD (ret.)/PhD
(Pathology)/Hematopathology Fellow—Creationists
stand on the firmest of ground both
theoretically and practically.
|
| A.H., Master’s Student, BS
Biology, MA Secondary Education—I
am pursuing my Master’s in Secondary
Education to teach Biology. Your site
and resources have made a huge impact on
the strength and quality of my
knowledge. God is putting me in the
classrooms for a specific reason. I am a
little anxious to see how His plans work
out. I know He can open doors no one can
shut.
|
| D.C., Horticulturist, B.S.
Horticulture—The creationist
scientists affiliated with the ICR and
Answers In Genesis I’ve heard are
logical, balanced and fact oriented. I
cannot say the same for my former
evolution professors.
|
| M.M., College professor, BS
Chemistry & Physics Education, MS
Physics Education—I visited the
museum during the summer of 2008, and I
was greatly impressed. As a christian
science teacher, it was very interesting
and thought provoking. I will certainly
return when my two boys are older. The
museum is state of the art and the
grounds are beautiful.
|
| A.W., Preserve Manager,
Wildlife Mngt, Forestry Mgt—I
haven’t yet had a chance to visit the
museum but I certainly shall. I have
worked in natural resources for the last
4 years. I was educated in a secular
college with curricula based on
evolution and darwinian theory. Even so
knowing for the duration of my studies
that evolution had a sizable
incongruence in it’s validity, I have
been bolstered and refreshed by the
message that AIG has disseminated. Great
job and keep up the good work.
|
| R.M., Research scientist and
lecturer, PhD Astronomy & Astrophysics,
BSc Physics & Mathematics —An
excellent site, which provides all the
evidence and facts needed for anyone to
understand the concept of Creationism.
Although I only discovered it in the
last few days, I shall be advising my
students - and anyone else who is
interested - to witness the truth and
scientific fact behind Creationism. Well
done!
|
| J.H., HS Science Teacher, M.S.
Educational Leadership—I teach
Biology and Environemental science. It’s
very difficult to teach students how to
think for themselves when the state, and
therefore the school district expect you
to teach evolution as fact. And the
textbooks are all of the assumption that
evolution is the only viable
explanation.
|
| M.S., Grad Student, BS degree
in Biology—I am a Graduate
student preparing for a career as a
secondary school (high school) Biology
teacher. I am completely amazed at how
evolutionists attack our very beliefs
simply because they counter their own.
It takes as much faith to believe in
evolution as it does in the Creator,
God. To say that anything “proves”
evolution to be fact, is to go against
the very beliefs of science and biology.
Numerous of my undergraduate professors,
who were also evolutionists, said that
nothing in biology can be proven as a
fact, unless it is something so
uncontroversial as “I am breathing
therefore I live.” You can only say that
something supports a given hypothesis
(is statistically significant),
therefore making it a theory. By their
very own specifications, Evolution
should remain a hypothesis, and NOT even
a theory. Seeing as how not even
Biologists can agree on their own
theories and scientific hypotheses, why
should we be forced to be quiet and
agree when even they don’t have to?
|
| V.H., Veterinarian—I
lost my faith in college due to the
“brainwashing” of evolution. My return
to faith was greatly influenced by
creationism. I believe we must give
students the true facts and not the
evolutionary agenda. I have been
attacked for defending my position in
the American Journal of Veterinary
Medicine. I am now a Certified Video
Conference Coordinator for the Creation
Museum so we can take the message to the
world!
|
| M.H., College Professor,
Mathematics; MA in Math and English as a
Second Language; BA in Computer Science;
High School Teaching Credential in
Chemistry, Physics, and General Science
—The Bible-believing, six-day
Creationist viewpoint is the only
logical view to have and is the only
scientifically (and theologically)
tenable position to hold. Any position
on evolution, whether atheistic or
theistic, cannot be supported either
scientifically or Biblically. It is my
feeling that when we look past the
rhetoric, ranting, and raving,
evolutionists give very little actual
science to support their belief in
molecules-to-man evolution; I usually
hear about the usual bait-and-switch
techniques such as bacteria becoming
resistant to antibiotics (they are and
were still the bacteria kind) and this
somehow proves that we evolved from
slime -- a complete non-sequitur if
there ever was one, but this
sleight-of-hand is common among the
evolutionary community. May I add that I
thouroughly enjoyed the Creation Museum
when I visited in August 2008 and can
only wish there were more such museums
throughout the United States (and even
the world!) The San Francisco Academy of
Sciences here in California is opening
up again, and when I visit, I no doubt
will get the usual evolutionary stories
and then say to myself, “I wish I were
at the Creation Museum!”
|
| S.D., Teacher; BA in History,
Master’s Degree in Computer Education—I
only wish MORE teachers had access to
this awesome information! These truths
changed my life years ago by helping me
realize the holes in my faith. I am a
teacher in a public high school (World
Geography and World History), and I have
had amazing opportunities to simply ask
“thinking questions” and present other
possiblities - using the information
from creation scientists. I am having to
teach the unit on early man right now,
and just the way a teacher presents the
information can make a big difference!!
I pray that God will provide MORE
creation scientists to help spread the
truth.
|
| L.R., Secondary School
Geography teacher, BSc (Hons)
Environmental Science—It is very
difficult to change pupils way of
thinking as all the textbooks talk about
millions of years and how we have
evolved. The resources we have to work
with in the first place are not
consistent with the Bible. You can’t be
seen to be “preaching” to the kids
either so it is frustrating sometimes.
You have to teach what is on the
syllabus but then just say “some believe
that...” I love the work you are doing
and I am passionate about Creation
Evangelism. I would love to work for you
if I wasn’t a teacher! May God
strengthen and equip you. Laura Rice,
Reading, UK
|
| G.H., Myoskeletal Therapist,
CMT, OMT, NCTMB— Dear AIG, I
praise God for the gifts of you all.
Years ago I reached a point in my walk
where I was frustrated with all the
apparent differences and doctrinal
beliefs. As I went to God in my despair
I vowed that if God would just lead me
to know the truth that I’d teach it to
others. Not only has He answered my
prayer with your ministry but has made
opportunity for me to introduce
Intelligent Design in my lectures. He
has provided me a platform as a
continuing education instructor for the
NCBTMB, where I have opportunity monthly
to share this truth of God’s Creation. I
was delighted to discover that teaching
creation science is at the discretion of
the teacher and that legally I’m not
violating any law. Thank you for the
wealth of information that you have made
available for us and your steadfastness
in maintaining the integrity of God’s
Word rightly divided. you will have my
continued support and prayers. May you
all continue to grow in all wisdom,
knowledge and understanding. Thanks
again :)
|
| T.R., High School Science
Teacher, BS —I am a public high
school chemistry and GMO (Geology,
Meteorology, Oceanography) teacher. I
always tell my students that the
evolutionary statements in the books and
videos are opinions, not facts. I also
tell them that I will never ask them to
believe anything which is contrary to
their faith. I usually get several sighs
of relief and many broad smiles in
response. I am a firm believer in a
young earth and a literal six-day
creation.
|
| S.F., Veterinary Surgeon, Dr,
BVSc MRCVS—My husband and I are
South African qualified vets who now
live and work in the UK. We were
thoroughly disappointed in the Natural
History Museum in London and grieved by
the way in which Evolution is taught as
fact. Praise the Lord for the work He is
doing through AiG, and especially for
the Creation Museum! I can’t wait to see
it for myself - I wish for nothing more
than to share the Word of God with my
children and teach them to walk in the
ways of the Lord.
|
| M.H., MS science teacher, BA
Christian Education—I firmly
believe that an education without
creationism is lacking. I just watched a
debate in which an engineer said that
the Creation Museum was helping us to
build a generation of students who
believe in creation and that without
technology we would not have any of the
things we enjoy (t.v., phones,
computers) While the latter part of this
statement is true, his assertion that
these advances were all made by
evolutionists really irritated me. The
vast majority of early scientists were
creationists and those who are not
afraid to admit to a higher authority
still do.
|
| A.R., teacher, B.A in
Psychology—I am so glad your
ministry exists! I heard Ken Ham speak
at the FACCS convention in Oct. 2007 and
I have not been the same. I teach junior
high science (earth and space) and I
have made it my mission this year to
educate the students on the facts and
how to defend their faith! I have been
using many of the AIG resources to make
this possible! Thank you for helping me!
|
| J.L., teacher/minister(ab theo
and BS industrial education)—I’m
a high school teacher,teaching values
and bible class..I am thankful to you
that you opened our minds to biblical
creation.
|
| B.S., Chemist, M.S.—I
have a great respect for fact based
science (which your scientists teach).
The textbook theories are going too far.
My wife, a former teacher, even saw
opposition for Creation being taught at
a private Christian school. Thank you
for standing for the truth and doing all
you do with Answers.
|
| R.M., currently a teacher of
AP and introductory chemistry—I
am a lifetime member of the Museum, a
recent addition to the museum volunteer
core, a longtime supporter of the
ministry, holder of a master’s degree,
finalist in one of NASA’s more recent
search efforts for teacher candidates,
and a National Board Certified
Adolescent and Young Adult science
teacher of 17 years experience. The
things I have read over the years from
AIG and ICR have made me a better, more
informed teacher, of both science and
critical thinking. I have not used this
information to push a certain religion
within the public school system (unlike
what is done by humanists), but rather
only to teach in an open and ethical
manner. The writing on the site is
excellent. I am prompted to comment
today by the excellent feedback response
given by Georgia Purdom today (Feb 1,
2008). I remain surprised that it would
be necessary to make the same points
that have been made numerous times on
this site (and yet to be rebutted).
However, please express to Dr. Purdom
that I think her answer was especially
well written. I hope God might give me
opportunity some day to show other
Christian teachers how to successfully
educate themselves and to teach more
effectively and ethically while obeying
the laws of our nation as they stand.
|
| S.Z., Dentist-researcher PhD
regenerative Medicine and tissue
engineering by stem cells—I
believe that Answers organization has
proved to be a qualified debater against
macro-evolution, rising the authority of
the word of God. Without your
faithfulness I think the world would
have been lost in an irrecuperable
darkness. Keep going and thank you.
|
| W.S., Engineering Project
Manager, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.BS IE—I
believe that the greatest teachers and
scientists are God believing
creationists. My wife is an amazing
science teacher teaching 7th and 8th
Grade Science with one student that now
works for NASA and an incredible number
of students placing and winning at local
and regional science fairs. I have seen
as her beliefs has grown over the years,
her students have benefited from her
passion of teaching, logic and
understanding. All Glory and Honor to
God in Heaven and Jesus through who
everything was created.
|
| K.B., Corporate Executive,
CEO, MBA, BS-Marketing—I believe
that our children have to learn both
arguements so that they will see the
diffenrence between Creationist and the
evolutionist position, so they can see
the evidence for creation and the lack
of evidence for evolution.
|
| D.K., Retired, Training
Specialist, Th.M.—Creationists
as teachers and scientists are long
overdue. Research, fresh insights into
the mechanisms of the Genesis Flood,
removing misconceptions of processes
(biological, geological, etc.) are just
a few of the needy areas they can
contribute to our better understanding
of God’s record of what happened in our
6,000 year history.
|
| T.H., Science
Educator/Ecologist (A.A.S. Forest
Technology, B.S. Natural Resource
Management, M.S. Education, M.P.S.
Ecology)—As a product of the
public schools and universities and as a
science educator/ecologist in public
education, I have found that students
are not generally taught to think
critically. The reigning philosophical
paradigm is materialistic naturalism
which assumes that the origin of the
universe, world and creatures can be
explained by chance, random events. What
students don’t realize is that this is
just as much a faith statement, as
assuming that there is a Great Designer,
even though it is cloaked as “science”.
Many creationist teachers and scientists
have come from these secular
institutions and remember that the
“facts” they were taught were really
interpretations of the facts and they
have wrestled with these world view
issues and the limitations of science.
They are often in a much better position
to provide the learning environment
students need to wrestle and debate the
issues together and avoid the herd
mentality. In the end, my students
understand what science can and cannot
do. They understand the assumptions that
researchers make before they interpret
data and they understand that the
assumptions are determined by the
philosophical world view of the
scientist. This way, all the cards are
on the table and students can think for
themselves instead of being told what to
think. In the process, they are better
able to pose key questions in their
pursuit of knowledge.
|
| T.B., Teacher, B. Sc., B. Ed.—Dear
Answers in Genesis, I want to start off
by telling you how first class your
ministry is. I don’t think there is
anything more important than upholding
the authority of the Word of God. Your
resources (and I think I own them all)
have literally changed my life. Allow me
to explain. I grew up not having any
answers to my skeptic friends questions.
I didn’t know what to do with dinosaurs
and the “proven” millions of years for
the age of the earth. This was very
discouraging and almost proved fatal to
my Christian walk. And then I came
across “The Lie: Evolution” by Ken Ham
and my eyes were opened. All of the
sudden I was armed with the answers I
was disparately searching for and I had
a solid defense for my belief in God and
His infallible Word. Two years later, I
am 24 years old with a degree in Physics
and a degree in Education. As a
creationist teacher, I feel it is of the
utmost importance to teach students
about presuppositions and how a
scientists starting assumptions will
influence their interpretation of the
evidence. In addition, students need to
be informed of what real science is and
what it isn’t. Moreover, the difference
between in-the-present operational
science and origin science which
encompass both creation and evolution. I
definitely agree that creation and
evolution should not be taught in the
public schools. Let’s face it, I would
not want my evolutionist colleague to be
teaching creation down the hall. This
would probably do more harm than good.
Likewise, if (or most likely when) I
teach evolution to my students they will
be shown how it is a very data poor idea
which is unsupported by the observable
world. If this level of honesty costs me
my job then so be it. I am proud to be
called a creationist and a teacher. Keep
up the amazing work and God Bless
everyone at Answers in Genesis.
|
| B.W., DMD ( dentist )—I
trust the word of God for my
understanding of creation and thank Him
for telling us what He did for us .
|
| M.M., MBBCh Medical
Practitioner—There is no
contradiction between creationism and
science. Creation is a far more likely
account for the origin of life than is a
series of evolutionary accidents.
|
| S.W., MS, MPAS, PA-C—It
is so important for us as scientist and
also believers in Creation as the
Genesis account explains clearly. The
museum is just another step in the
process of “getting the WORD out” and
debunking the evolutionary garbage that
was taught to myself and is being taught
to our children as the Gospel.
|
| P.N., Managing Director of a
foundation MSc and PhD in Pest and
Disease Management —I am a
Scientist from Cameroon Africa I would
like to join the group to have more
argument to support creationism
.Christianity is strong in my country
but the new generation is threaten by
the corrupted theory of evolution. I am
preaching on the 4th of january 2008 in
a church of 1500 people .I will be
talking creationism.Please help me.
|
| K.P., Special Education
Teacher, M.A. Special Education, Pupil
Personnel Services—Thank you for
your ministry! I have taught in special
education for 17 years. Though I have
worked K - 12, the majority of my time
has been spent at the high school level
teaching core curriculum and coaching.
The bias in the public schools for
evolution is very frustrating (A key
reason for our decision to homeschool
our 5 kids). It is amazing how heavily
the religion of evolution is promoted
and relied upon. Teachers will often
make comments to degrade students,
parents or staff who are not as
“intelligent or informed” as they are.
Thus, our intellectual standing can be
put into question. I have found that
there is very little searching for the
truth when it comes to this topic. I
have worked and continue to work in the
areas of biology and discovery science.
My job is to present content and
facilitate learning. The logical and
educated answers you provide help me
shed light in some dark places and at
times I’m able to “make a defense for
the hope that is inside me.” Please pray
for all Christian teachers in the public
schools as we attempt to be used by the
Lord as He wills, not as man commands.
|
| S.F., Scientist, A.S. (Biology
Education), B.S. (Biology), M.S.
(Biology), MBA—I want you all to
know that you all are doing great work
at AiG! As a scientist, I enjoy the
technical discussions and professional
articles that you all print and/or
publish. As a believer, I appreciate you
all spreading the good news as you reach
out to folks with the gospel. I work
with many scientists who are
creationists and their knowledge bases
are at least as good as their
evolutionist collegues. Again, thank you
for the work that you all do and may God
bless all of you at AiG.
|
| N.K., Engineer- BS in
mechanical design; MS in multidisciplin
engineering—From a statistical
and scientific perspective none of the
theories other than creation can explain
the formation of just the human eye let
alone an entire human. When looking at
the design of humans, how they fit with
each other and with the rest of nature,
you should be considered a lunatic to
suggest that this happened as random
chance. Many of the morals under attack
today can easily be reaffirmed by merely
analyzing the design of the human body
and deriving if it was meant to do that.
The world does not have to become
Christian to endorse Christian values;
God created a logically world that can
be used to defend the Christian
perspective without ever having to use
“because the Bible says so.”

| E.N.S., Retired, Ph.D.—I
have long been interested in animals and
electronics as well as Creation. In high
school I had an amateur (ham) radio
license and my novice call sign was
prophetic of things to come. It was
KN5PHD. I had a Ph.D. from the FCC.
While attending college at Southwestern
Oklahoma State University, I designed a
radio telemetry system for tracking
rattlesnakes making a major NSF study
possible. The professor found out I was
a creationist and tried to keep me from
graduate school. At Baylor, I designed
and used a multichannel telemetry system
to study thermoregulation of free
ranging alligators in south Texas.
Again, my advisor found out I was a
Creationist after publishing another
paper in CRSQ and told me if he had
known, he would NOT have accepted me for
graduate studies at Baylor. A week after
earning my Ph.D. in Zoology from Texas
Tech University I again had a paper
published in CRSQ and my major professor
was so angry he formed a committee to
annul my doctorate, but was
unsuccessful. I was invited as keynote
speaker to a major international
telemetry meeting in Oxford and took two
research students. Even though I had
over 50 technical publications,
excellent student reviews and many
research students giving papers at
national scientific meetings, I was
denied tenure at Northeastern Oklahoma
State University for doubting Saint
Darwin and ended up driving 18-wheelers
until my retirement two years ago. I am
enjoying retirement and recently had my
ninth book accepted for publication
including a series of children’s books
about Al-the-Gator and his friends in a
farm pond in south Texas. I now have
over 150 published papers and had one
recently in CRSQ and another is in
press. I also lead an online small group
dealing with science and the Bible
issues for New Life Church in Colorado
Spring. Our battle is real; the Enemy
unscrupulous.

| D.F., Jr High math teacher,
B.A elementary education —I grew
up and was educated as an evolutionist.
I am a school teacher with two college
degrees (secular schools) and I have
been to 13 countries around the world. I
am a creationist and proud of it. It is
not my reading of the Bible that has led
to me becoming a creationist but simple
mathematics, college textbooks and
common sense.
|
| B.M., Science teacher, Master
of Science—We need people that
believe in creation to speak up for
their convictions. It seems that the
right theories have always met a lot of
opposition from the “scientific
community”, so we need not despair.
|
| R.T., Associate Professor,
Agricultural Education, Ph.D. in
Agricultural Education & Experimental
Statistics —As an Associate
Professor in Agricultural Education, I
teach research design. It is clear to me
that supporters of liberal evolution do
not follow the standard rules of
research design. By inferring causation
from correlation, facts are stated which
are not supported by the
literature/evidence. We should be able
to reason together using the rules set
forth by true scientist searching for
the truth.
|
| T.K., Atmospheric Scientist,
Senior Scientist, MS in Atmospheric
Science —God said it and that
settles it! The Bible is correct in
every dimension of human knowledge and
that includes science. God bless the
powerful ministry of telling the truth
through AiG and the Creation Museum.
|
| J.Z., molecular biologist,
Research Officer, Ph.D. —As a
scientist that works with and looks at
mammalian cells almost everyday I cannot
comprehend how other scientists can
believe in evolution. Viewed under the
microscope the majesty of the universe
is seen within the cell in the
microscale. The complexity of organelles
and molecules and their interactions in
time and space defies human explanation.
The evidence for a mighty, omniscient
God is unmistakable. Truly, scientists
are without excuse. It is most expedient
that a creationist museum exists to
proclaim God’s handiwork and speak
against the blindness of dogmatic,
evolutionary thought that has enshrouded
both young and old.
|
| M.C., Software Developer, MA
Mathematics, BS Education (Secondary
Math) —Our country was founded
on the principles of freedom of thought,
freedom of speech and freedom of
religion. Moreover, the greatest
advances in science have come from those
who were willing to think outside the
box of commonly accepted theories. The
“marketplace of ideas” welcomes a host
of unpopular and unlikely theories on
every conceivable subject, and it is
disingenuous to single out Creationist
arguments for censorship simply because
they outrage the politically correct
crowd, or because they do not agree with
the current most popular theories of
origins. Creationism should be allowed a
voice in the spectrum of ideas, and, if
it is wrong, let the scientific evidence
prove it so. However, I think a vast
number of Creationists would agree with
me in saying that we came to believe in
Creationism simply because the evidence
was overwhelmingly compelling in favor
of it. For many of us, scientific
evidence abundantly confirms the Bible’s
claim to being the infallible Word of
the omnipotent Creator.

| H.R., At Risk Youth Program
Director / Artist —“Answers in
Genesis” is an indespensable asset to
both my students as well as my family.
The unbiased and focused opinions as
well as detailed clear referenced
research proposed by this organization,
is both sound and future-minded in
scope. In terms of the preservation and
support of our nations youth, AiG is not
only supplying solid answers of the
biological past, but also responsible
sound perspectives for this generation’s
future. My students are all
ward-of-the-court recipients, children
with a tough histories and backgrounds.
I have serviced thousands throughout
these last thirteen years as a teacher
and program director. The most
incredible phase of contact is not when
we finally circumvent all the initial
filters and relationship problems to get
to the basic respect level needed for
creative studies, rather, it is when
they are first made aware of their
origins, design, purpose and
possibilities in life as a “God imaged
wonderful human being” and NOT an
“accidental animalistic purposeless
dispensable variable composite”. Their
eyes take on a whole new glimmer. Thank
you AiG for your established biblical
principles, vision and scope of
endurance* Best wishes, don’t stop!
|
| L.H., I’m a P.G. licensed
professional geologist in KY, I hold a
BS majoring in geology with a chemistry
minor —I fully believe they are
true scientists and teachers. I use to
be an atheist, and became a geologist in
part because of that. When I converted
powerfully the Christianity, I began the
long mental battle of assessing what I
thought I knew, not as an “layman” but
as a scientist myself. I adhere firmly
to the young earth and creation per
Scripture and would affirm with Martin
Luther that the bible speaks plainly
about creation. I’m greatly appreciative
first as a believer and second as a
scientist for the work Christian
scientist and teachers are doing. My
children will be taught Scripture and I
always worried about the science, even
though I am one, I hardly had all the
anwers to refute what I once learned.
You have no idea how greatful I am to
this ministry. Of course the prevailing
scientific paradigm of epicurianism,
which is a religion itself, will scoff
and persecute all such scientist holding
Scripture highest. But this is nothing
new. Laughter and mocking as John Calvin
and Martin Luther point out are the
worst type of persecution assaulting the
mind of the believer, for it makes
him/her doubt the Word of God, namely
the Gospel for them. Evolution and
modern “science” do just that.
|
| R.Z., Doctor of Pharmacy—I
totally support the creation view of the
bible “IN the Beginning- God” end of
story. As a clinical
pharmacist/pharmacologist, I am amazed
how detailed our neurotransmitter
systems and neurophysiology is,
especially when it comes to how new
drugs expose the complexitity of these
systems.
|
| T.C., RT (R) CVT—I
believe that Creationists make excellent
teachers and scientists..They also make
great Medical Doctors and Medical
professionals. Thanks for the great job
with the creation web page. I hope to
see the Creation museum in the near
future. I really don’t understand how
some one can see the awe inspiring
workings of the human body and not
beleive in a Creator God who is exactely
who He said He is. I work in the Cardiac
Catherization Lab. Assisting with
Cardiac artery ballooning, stenting,
ect. And I see Gods handy work everyday.
|
| C.W., M.D., Family Physician—To
exclude creationists as teachers and
scientists would exclude the founding
scientists of most of the existing
scientific disciplines. Belief in God
who created the universe and instituted
all the natural laws should be a plus.
Christians are to seek to know more
about their creator. Certainly then,
christians should be eager to learn more
about God by studying the details of His
creation.
|
| K.K., Master of Science
—I’m a creationist teacher. Well, I
have taken a new job as a grade six home
room teacher. Looking through the grade
six science book (Houghton Mifflin) I
noticed that there was a unit which
included evolution. I’m praying about
how to deliver the classes when time
comes to cover that unti. I plan to
teach the basics on evolution but give
the children both sides of the story.
Your website is giving me a lot of help
and encouragement. Please keep it up and
pray for me as I head into this
challenge.
|
| J.D., Retired, Ph.D. CE &
Environmental Science —Everyone
has a world view and it may not be
definable or fit into a nice category of
some kind. However, all world views
start from one of two premises; e.g God
is (and He has revealed us through
general revelation in what He has
created - and special revelation (God’s
Word); and God is not (which leads to
nihilism). There is no in between.
Attempts to mix these starting points
end up in chaos and irrational
confusion. A creationist starts with God
is. An atheist (evolutionist) starts
with God is not. God says God is truth
(reality). An evolutionist says only
science can reveal truth. A person who
is a teacher or scientist conducts his
business from one of these world views.
Certainly the creationist can teach
truth. So can an atheist - sometimes, to
a certain degree. But their teachings
are a mixture of partial truth and
partial falsehoods. The basis for
judging truth is truth Himself, Jesus.
The inspired, inerrant word of God does
not need science to prove itself to be
true. Good science will always affirm
the truth of scripture. If scripture and
science are apparently incompatible,
something is wrong with the science.
This is an impossible pill for the
naturalist to swallow. Their view is
that naturalism will explain everything
- except, of course, the question, why?.
If I were in school once again, I would
welcome a creationist (young earth) as a
teacher and/or scientist because in
their efforts, the very first step in
addressing some aspect of their work is
to see what scripture says about the
subject. That is the proper starting
point. If one starts with naturalism,
error will follow. So, in my opinion,
being a creationist is a prerequisite to
proper teaching and proper science.
Right now the paradigm is naturalism and
this has led to where we are now -
calling good evil, and evil good.
Naturalism draws people away from the
Kingdom of God. Creationism draws people
to Jesus. That is the way to go.
|
| S.M., IT systems analyst,
MBA,. BA—Creationists are the
only scientists (evolutionists being
their counterparts) who do not violate
laws of information science as no codes
can ever be generated from matter and
energy without a designer. This fact of
science is not only ignored by
evolutionists but their entire belief
system depends on a contrary belief that
the complex codes of every living thing
spontaneously appeared through chance,
thus the PRESTO belief system of
information. Life is complex information
systems with many complex codes and the
fact of science demands a creator. Young
people can easily understand this
universal rule if given a chance to hear
from Creation teachers and scientists.
|
| J.K., Territory Business
Manager, BS Industrial Engineering—It
is absolutely ludicrous that creationism
is being banned in public schools, yet
the religion of evolution is considered
perfectly acceptable. I myself was
taught in both high school and college
that evolution was a scientific fact.
After studying for myself, I now know
that to be a complete farce. Fight the
good fight!
|
| M.O., Environmental Scientist—Hello,
I am a Environmental Scientist working
in [place of employment removed]. When I
was young I always wanted to follow
God’s commandment in Genesis of being
good stewards of the earth. I spent five
years in college getting my Environemtal
Science degree. I sat through biology,
geology, and ecology classes listening
to the lies of evolution knowing that it
was all deception. Geology professors
used the rock layers and plate tectonics
to “prove” the old earth theory. I would
just listen, learn enough to pass the
tests, and forget it. I thank the good
Lord in heaven every day I grew up in a
good Christian home and a good church
that taught me creation and gave me the
concrete foundation to go out into the
world and stand on the principles of the
Bible. That foundation has allowed me to
opened some eyes of my fellow class
mates and co-workers to the false
teachings of evolution and that there
are facts and truths in creation.
Creation is not a fairytale. If you look
at the science without preconceived
concepts from evolution, there are facts
indicating a young earth, proof of a
global flood, and many other sound
evidences for creation. Thank you for
the Answers in Genesis ministry and keep
up the good work!! There are troops on
the ground in this battle and your
materials along with the Holy Word are
our sword and shield in this battle to
overcome the lies of evolution.
|
| C.H., BA in Psychology, BA in
Education, MREd, MA in Educational
Technology -- Educator —I
attended the new Creation Museum this
past Friday and found it to be very well
done. The Biblical explanation for a 7
day creation time frame was done well.
This museum is more than just a place to
learn about science from a Biblical
viewpoint - it is enjoyable and has a
real sense of outreach and mission. I
brought people ranging from 8 to 58 and
all concurred that it was enjoyable and
informative. Thanks for the great job
you have done while keeping it
scientific and professional.
|
| S.J., Middle School Science
Teacher, BS in Science Education—DefCon
states that creation is an attack to
science education. How is confronting
the problems of evolution
anti-education?
|
| A.H., Bacholors in Secondary
Biology Education—I think that
creationists as teachers and scientists
are valuable people. They have a
Biblical world view and can actually
explain the things we see around us.
|
| T.B., Non-Profit Operations
Manager, Bachelor of Science, Master of
Arts —I studied and taught
Biology in Kansas during the
controversial school board decisions on
science education. Through all of my
college education at Kansas State
University, while receiving top grades
in my upper level classes, the
professors were never able to convince
me that evolution answered any questions
about science. In fact, they more
detailed the classes were (microbiology,
molecular embriology) I was more
convinced that evolution was not the
right answer. It had to be God. As I
taught high school I made a point to
never give evolution stand-alone credit.
I always pointed out that something had
to begin the process, or something had
to design the organism. It really is
easy to poke holes in the theory of
evolution if people are willing to
listen to science and actually follow
scientific law.
|
| R.K., Teacher, Researcher...MS
Biological Science—I am both a
scientist and a teacher of science. My
expertise is in Biology, and I love the
subject matter because of its direct
relevance to the teachings of the Bible.
I believe that a scientist must take the
Bible as fact, and science as support
for that fact. This is what I feel
seperates secular science from the true
science that is all around us in this
world. God has created this world
wonderfully, and it is an honor for us
all to explore its interworkings and to
see how great God truly is!
|
| D.G., Instructor, Mr, BA, BSc,
MA—Evolutionary ideas held sway
in my thinking until scientific
creationism convinced me otherwise. The
lack of transitional forms and the many
instances of fraudulant and fabricated
evidence in the supposed development of
man persuaded me to research the claims
of Biblical creationism. Presently I
teach Algebra, Calculus and Physics at
the high school level. Students are
introduced to both worldviews and asked
to examine the data for themselves. The
student consensus is that the data
supports the predictions made by the
creation model. If the hypothesis of
evolution is correct then the majority
of the world’s population would have
little difficulty embracing this
ideology. They do not. And, if evolution
is true, where are the convincing
arguments to courteously change the
thinking of “misguided” creationists?
Over the years I have noticed that
people who are unable to back up their
claims tend to be easily provoked when
questioned. The rhetoric of many
evolutionists tends to reflect that
tendency.
|
| K., engineer w/ a BSME & MBA—I
think this whole Creation movement is
awesome blessing from God. I’m an
engineer by education and trade, thus
I’ve studied plenty of science. The fact
that we get these laws of science and
nature from God doesn’t have anything to
do with depending upon the evolutionary
lie. Ask Sir Isaac Newton if he depended
upon the laws of evolution to derive his
many equations and theories? Since
evolution didn’t exist in his time and
since he’s acknowledged God as the
creator in his writings should stop any
modern day scientist dead in their
“evolutionary” tracks. My kids will
learn science and math - that’s a fact,
but they’ll learn that these laws have
been created by God and not some random
chance which by logic is nonsense.
|
| K.T., BA, education, Science
exploration teacher for homeschoolers—What
a wonderful idea. I viewed much of the
information from the DEFCON website as
well as the other sights. I am grieved
that these people are shouting about
their concern of children being “dumbed
down” by the creation museum. I would
think that all scientists would
encourage all children to explore ALL
options to find the truth. If they are
so very certain of their viewpoint, why,
then, are they so afraid of one museum
in the middle of the country that many
children may never have the opportunity
to visit. As a science teacher, I am
planning to gather as many children as
possible to bring on a field trip. We
will begin with a trip of our family of
5 from California this September. Fear,
and the perpetuation of fear, seems to
be the purpose of DEFCON. Truth and
science exploration seems to be the
purpose of the Creation Museum. All
should be able to view for themselves
without the angry people inhibiting our
children’s ability to seek and learn ALL
aspects of science. Thank you for
creating a place for our views to be
spoken.

—I love your work and dedication to the
cause of defending the Bible as God’s
Word from beginning to end. I see the
degenerative effects of secularism on
our nation’s children every day in my
practice. May God bless you and protect
you, as you are continually attacked by
a secular world.
|
| D.P., Design Engineer, BS and
MS in Mechanical Engineering —I
can’t wait to see the museum. I’ve had
friends at Mississippi State (where I
got both degrees) who were also proud to
stand for the SCIENCE and reasoning
within creation, but more importantly,
for the love and grace of the Redeemer
who is responsible for the creation.
|
| T.S., Chemistry instructor,
Ph. D. (candidate)—The
creationist teachers and scientists are
deep thinkers who are not afraid to
speak the truth before a hostile
academic crowd. The creationists are
scholars in their respective scientific
fields and are students the Bible.
Evolutionist teachers and scientists
unfortunately know only half the story.
Some years ago I was in a meeting with
mostly evolutionist scientists and
someone during the conversation
mentioned the name of John the Baptist
from the Bible . I was surprised to
learn that only two scientists out of
eleven in the meeting knew about John
the Baptist. There is an apparent lack
of Biblical knowledge among the American
university intellectuals. If you do not
know a book how can you be familiar with
its contents?. The evolutionist
scientists and teachers are simply too
proud to become students of the Bible.
Therefore, they do not know the rest of
the story. Much of their opposition to
the creation scientists and teachers is
rooted in human pride and vanity. It is
only a matter of short time and they
will begin to see the light of truth
taking over this dark corner of the
academic world. Congratulations on your
beautiful museum!
|
| T.W., Electrical Engineer—Being
a Christian since age 9 and having
studied the sciences in pursuit of my
engineering degree as well as over 30
years of practice in the field, I find
it impossible to believe anything but
the Biblical account of the created
universe. We, as engineers, have studied
God’s design of nature in order to
understand the principals and laws
involved and have used them quiet
successfully in our trade. I am
delighted to see and hear about the
growing number of scientists in all
technical fields that proclaim God as
creator and publically acknowledge the
Biblical account as given in Genesis.
The Creation Museum is a public
testimony of the true world history and
will serve a substantial part in
legitimizing this view to the secular
world as well as to many Christians who
have been misled by generations of
evolutionary teaching. |
| J.M., Lead High School
Teacher, BS Religion, working on M.Div—I
am 100% behind the creation museum!! I
am a high school science and math
teacher in a Christian School and I plan
to bring a group of students to the
museum as soon as I can arrange it. As a
former engeer and evolutionist, I
believe teaching the science of creation
is the only way to give strength to our
young people to defend their position on
creation. I make a point of once a week
in every class having a creation day to
teach the science of Scripture. |
| J.M., BSAE & BSME, University
of Michigan—It was while
attending a secular engineering school
that I “happened upon” your website.
While I had been a Christian for a few
years, it wasn’t until then that I
realized just how important it is for
believers to recognize that the Bible is
true from the very first verse. What an
encouragement it was (and is) to my
faith, knowing that I can fully believe
God’s Word! I have seen the effects of
belief in evolution, and how Satan uses
“science” to lead people away from God.
It is ESSENTIAL that Christians
understand the complete authority of the
scripture. Thank you, men and women of
AIG, for your love of Truth and your
dedication to your mission. |
| R.S., Middle and high school
science teacher, Bachelor’s degree in
Physics.—While I have not yet
had the opportunity to visit the
Creation Museum, I have enthusiastically
supported it financially. It is crucial
to the creation ministry to have a
“brick and mortar” facility for people
to visit, to supplement the print, video
and Internet media we have used in the
past. I am thrilled to have Answers in
Genesis resources available to me for
supplementing my science curriculum and
integrating Biblical truth with my daily
lesson plans. |
| G.C., public school teacher,
Masters in Ed.—I am a public
school teacher. My husband and I have
supported the museum from the beginning.
We visited in June and were amazed at
the professional design and accuracy of
the exhibits. It was far more than
anything we could have imagined.We went
home and got a group together from our
church. We returned just this past week
with 19 adults and teens from our
church. Our pastor has really gotten on
board. I have purchased several books to
put in my public school classroom
library for my students self selected
reading time. This is perfectly legal
since the students are able to choose
the books they read. My church teens
were also excited to have the book
Evolution Exposed. I purchased enough
earlier in the year for each one to have
a copy but their visit to the museum
motivated them to actually take a copy
to read. Thanks for all you do. You are
always in our prayers. |
| J.E., Computer Scientist, MS
(Johns Hopkins), BS—It is
because of AiG that I’ve been involved
in a fruitfull dialogue (over the past
years) with a biology professor from
college who once said something like
this (in regards to the creationst view
of vestigial organs) “good luck trying
to explain [the pelvic bone] in whales.”
A couple of years after taking his class
and finding out about AiG, I’ve been
able to respond to his scepticism with
AiG articles that provide strong
answers. The Creation Museum is a
testament to the world that God rewards
those who “tremble at his word” while
beliving, defending and proclaiming it
from the very first verse. I love how
this Ministry calls others in the public
eye to account who would compromise with
evolutionary principles in order to “fit
in.” finally, it’s not a matter of mirco
vs. macro evolution, it’s a matter of
the “information” increase that is
needed to “evolve” from one species to
another that is absent in both types of
evolution. |
| M.T., BEng (hons) Mechanical
Engineering—Aethiests say “don’t
mix religion and politics” - why
shouldn’t we? they do it all the time
and prevent us from teaching true
science in the classroom to our
children! |
| P.G., instructor, Northwest MS
Comm. College, Masters degree in Biology
from Miss. State Univ.—I teach
community college science courses and
labs and wholeheartedly believe in the
accuracy of the Bible in every respect.
Evolution has no bearing on my student’s
ability to grasp the topics covered in
Biology or Anatomy. No concept in
science requires a belief in evolution
(except, maybe, those fields dedicated
to proving it!). As a believer, I love
science because it reveals the
awesomeness and power of God. I am
constantly amazed at what I discover in
my field (genetics). The more I discover
the more I realize that evolution does
not have the answers for what I see, but
God does. |

| C.M., Registered Nurse,
Cardiosciences. BScN—After
studying human anatomy and physiology
and then to declare, “It all came about
by chance,” must assuredly be starkly
facetious comedy. The astounding
complexity inside every human cell, the
construction of every organ system, and
the dynamic interplay between the
different body systems are all feats of
engineering far beyond anything today’s
best scientists are capable of
achieving. How anyone could study human
anatomy and physiology and come away
with naturalistic explanations about the
origin of life intact is beyond me. If
an anatomy and physiology professor were
to seriously posit that life arose by
chance and diversified via random
mutations, she would be engaged in an
intellectual fraud that is plain for all
her students to see. |
| M.S., Senior Manager in
computer science; BS Phys (high honors,
from Ga Tech); MS CS (South Carolina)—Can
anyone who feels the need to resort to
ad hominem argumentation honestly say
they’re being scientific? The ill
informed and unscientifically minded
might be convinced by such tactics, but
anyone who loves science and does not
have an a priori commitment to
naturalism will realize that the rise of
information alone argues extremely
strongly against evolution and in favor
of Biblical Creationism. However, such
attacks are not new to the scientific
world. The establishment will always be
vehemently opposed to a paradigm shift,
because their belief system, their
reputation and not least of all, their
funding might be at stake. |
| D.H., Chemist, Lab Manager—I
am a chemist who develops polymer based
and polymer modified systems in support

to visit the Creation Museum with my
family. Starting with the entrance,
moving through the exhibits and
presentations and finally, interacting
with staff, we were impressed with the
professionalism and courtesy we
experienced. The Creation Museum is a
testament to God’s work and a witness of
His glory and love for mankind. |

| S.C., Pastor, BS InfoSystems,
1/2 of a Master in Religion from Liberty
Univ.—My family(8 of us)had been
waiting for nearly two years to attend
the Creation Museam. We were concerned
our expectations had grown to a level
that would almost guarantee
disappointment. At the first opportunity
we planned our “Creation Vacation” with
AIG as our prime destination. We were
absolutly blown away. The exibits were
beyond anything we could have imagined
and its overall design and message we
extraordinary. Our favorite exibit was
the Adam and Eve, Garden scene. It was
the first time I believe I realized just
how much we lost. I am not usually that
emotional but I cried when I saw the
picture of them walking away in the mist
holding hands, amazing! We spent two
days at the museaum and on the way home
the kids were already asking when we
could return. The biggest
dissappointment my family had was they
didn’t get to see Ken Ham. I thought it
funny, while most kids would get excited
about music stars or TV personalities my
children have put Ken Ham at the top of
their must see list. I can only thank my
God in Heaven for that miricle.

fields and problems. Our universe is
infinite. Our God is infinite. If I were
to ask any scientist or mathematician
what the odds of two balls colliding in
an infinite space given random
trajectories just in a 2D space they
would say none. Now add another plane to
it? Everything we see is so complex,
there is no way that it was an accident.
But what we need to realize is that what
we learn as scientists only confirms
this amazing thing we call our universe.
We might be able to clone, cure some
diseases but we will never be able to
touch the perfection of creation that
our God has made. |
| J.L., Math Specialist BA
Mathematics, BA math, BASB, MAT—Many
of the best teachers I know are
creationists, including many post
secondary teachers and professors. |
| E.L., Teacher, retired—
I am a retired teacher. I taught
Science/Biology/Chemistry in public
schools for 30 years. The more I learned
about Science, the more I believed in
God. I accepted Christ 52 years ago, and
my faith is stronger than it has ever
been! |
| J.T., Science, Bible teacher,
Indiana Academy, MA Religion, MS Biology—Science
as we know it is a human institution. It
is constantly changing as it learns and
corrects its mistakes. It is basically a
good system for learning, but it is
limited by its restricted view of truth.
True science in its most pure sense is
the absolute truth that includes the
Creator, Originator, and Author of all
non-living and living things in the
universe. As a Creation scientist one
may still make mistakes in not knowing
the entire truth, but will have a
guidebook and guiding philosophy that
will help keep his discoveries on track
to truth. The best Creationists are not
necessarily those who attack evolution,
but those who show the positive
plausibility, through scientific data
and experiments, of the creation model.
In reality it is not possible for
science, which requires repeatable
experiments, to prove scientifically the
question of origins. As Josh McDowell
noted, for some things that only
happened once, we must rely on the legal
method that relies on evidence and
testimony. Science is not totally
objective, but relies heavily on
interpretation of data. Two scientists
see the same data and interpret them in
totally different ways depending many
times on their training and bias. The
Christian has a much better opportunity
of arriving at the truth of the data
because he accepts the truth of the
Originator of all. |
| K.A., High School Teacher,
Pure Mathematics—I taught high
school math before I had kids. My degree
is in math and I believe that both
science and mathematics clearly point to
a Creator. To add to that, there are too
many flaws in the theory of evolution to
even consider it plausible. |
| J.B.B., teacher, Assistant
Professor, BSME, MSME—I am an
assistant professor at a community
college in Indiana, and my belief in
Scripture has never hindered my ability
to teach. In fact, the logical argument
that each one of us views the same
evidence but interprets it in light of
personal worldview has helped me
immensely in my professional and
personal life. A thoughtful, Biblical
worldview should guide all that I think,
say, and do. The horrific condition of
the world today is evidence enough of
the result of believing, following, and
implementing any other worldview,
including evolution. |
| S.H., physician MD—I
visited the Creation Museum with five of
my children this past Saturday and was
very impressed with the entire museum.
Thank you for standing strong for an
eternal truth: In the beginning, God
created the heavens and the earth! |
| K.A., Teacher of Mathematics
(B.Sc.)—Belief in Creation is
the only SCIENTIFICALLY tenable position
for any RATIONAL thinker. Life by CHANCE
is in total opposition to the principle
of biogenesis, and the obvious order in
the Universe is in opposition to the Law
that says entropy INCREASES unless some
“guiding force” is present. As a
rational thinker, I have very little
faith in non-creationist teachers - but
I acknowledge their right to hold their
views (no matter how illogical they may
be). The very fact that we are able to
reason is PROOF that reason exists -
and, therefore, PURPOSE. My personal
conviction is that those scientists (and
others) who accept Evolution do so out
of PRIDE - they cannot bear to think
that they should “bow” before the great
Law-giver, and live by His rules. |
| C.Y., Teacher, BS - Elementary
Education—Creation science has
helped further my faith and I love how
creation scientists and teachers are
using the same facts presented to
everyone and using the Bible to interupt
and understand our world. |
| L.M., B.S. in Chemical
Engineering—I am a creationist,
a teacher, and a scientist. I have a
degree in Chemical Engineering and left
a very successful career to become a
homeschool teacher of two, and I believe
that God created the world in 6 literal
days. It is definitely possible for a
creationist to be a good engineer, a
good scientist, and a good teacher. But
those creationists who have no rational
understanding or explanation of why they
believe what they believe frustrate me.

| D.G., Teacher, Secondary
Science, B.A. Science Education
University of Detroit-Mercy, 3/4 of way
to completion of MAT from Liberty
University, Lynchburg, VA —As a
secondary science educator, and
particularly in the State wherein I
reside, I am seeing a continual hatred
towards those in my profession, like
myself, that hold to a literal short-day
creation persuasion. I teach science
from a premiss that the creation account
as noted in Genesis is a correct
historical narrative and as such should
be so interpreted. I appreciate your
strong stand for truth in this vital
area of science. |
| I.C.R., Civil Engineer /
Quantity Surveyor, Fellow of the
Institution of Civil Engineering
Surveyors (FInstCES), Member of the
Institution of Highways and
Transportation (MIHT). —Dear
Sirs I was a lecturer in various
Construction subjects at Inverness
College (Scotland) for some years. I
found that students are largely ignorant
of Creation as described in Scripture,
but they definitely did show interest
when the subject was discussed and
debated with them. In describing various
ground conditions (some very difficult
in Scotland when water is present)that
Builders and Civil Engineers encounter,
inter alia - organic layers, rock,
boulders, cobbles, gravels, sands,
silts, and clays; glacial deposits like
kames and eskers, I always took the
opportunity to bring the Creator and His
Creation into the lecture, and always
refused to give any credence to
evolution. Accordingly, I applaud the
efforts by Answers in Genesis to take
the truth to a world-wide audience, and
I support wholeheartedley the Creation
Museum. My prayer is that many similar
esdtablishments with the Creation theme
will spring up in every country now that
Answers in Genesis has shown the way. I
bless the day I was introduced to
answersingenesis.org website by a
Christian friend. |
| G.C., Seismic Surveyor to the
oil industry, Mr. HND Minerals
Engineering, BA Hons Theology—The
Creation Museum is helping to combat the
constant barage of anti-God philosophy
found in secular museums and the media.
It is an invaluable resource for the
Church and a tremendous witness to the
world that will help win back our
secular, humanistic Western culture for
the Lord. |
| J.R., MSEE, electrical
engineer—Thank you for taking
the stand that science doesn’t disprove
God’s Word, it proves His
trustworthiness. God is the God of
science! Keep doing what you are doing!
God is with you! |
| G.W., teacher B Sc A , MSc
(partial) —with them . I thank
God for men like Ken Ham and his team
who with dogged determination have
laboured many years to bring the Museum
into being. I have always believed the
Biblical authority and have shared in my
Science classes , where the curicullum
placed it, ( we were to encouraged to
present both sides of the debate and let
the student choose ...most chose the
creation theory. (I taught science in
secondary School for 24 years ) |
| B.F., Mathematics Professor,
Southwest Virginia Community College,
BS, MA in Mathematics —I laud
and strongly support the effort made by
Answers in Genesis (and the Creation
Museum) to proclaim the Biblical record
in Genesis. I give and have given your
literature to hundreds (perhaps
thousands) of students on my campus.
|
| W.F., Teacher, MA Math-Physics—All
things, small and big - from the
smallest atom to the entire universe,
behave following a natural law and they
appear to have been engineered by an
intellegent being. Science , as of late
has confirmed the fact that all things
in this world, whether living or
non-living, have been engineed by a
creator. |
| D.W., teacher, B.A., M.A., M.
Div., M.S. Ed. Admin. —Having
taken a doctoral level course with Dr.
Ham, the distinction must be made
between operational science, which can
be repeated, and origin science which
can not be repeated. The claims that
“science has proved evolution” are not
delineated along these lines specifying
what kind of science has so-called
proved evolution, thereby the claims are
not valid. Operational science will
never be able to prove evolution, and
the evidence that exists will confirm
creation not evolution.
|
| L.G., English Teacher—Greetings
from Peru!!!! I want to let you know
that we keep praying that you keep firm
in God’s Word, it’s the way that
everything makes sense. I’m an English
teacher, and a way to share the gospel
with my students is by making them do
different kinds of research to debate in
class, which as an example is “Creations
vs evolution” and wow, as one cartoon I
read from your site once about a kid
saying about the big bang (very funny by
the way) that’s what happens, you
question the so called “facts” of
evolution and “bam!” people who believe
in that start trying to convince you,
with no success since they don’t have
reliable evidences. I once read a nice
famous phrase from Leonardo Da Vinci “He
who knows what he is talking about won’t
try to find an excuse to raise his
voice” which is something I share with
them to let them know I’m not deaf when
they start screaming LOL! It’s pretty
encouraging what you’re doing with the
articles and resources you have on your
website. Congratu! lations everyone at
Answers in Genesis and Praise the
Lord!!!! Psalm 19:7

| H.J., Business Owner.
President. a) BA Business / Economics,
(b) MBA —As a businessman I have
to come to understand a little about the
power of corporate branding. Evolution
has done an incredible job of branding
itself as science. In reality, the
theory of evolution is nothing more than
packaged man-made religion, a bit like a
poor product masked in savvy and
interesting wrapping, yet highly
disappointing when opened and discovered
for what it really is. In contrast, the
Creation Museum and the teachers and
scientists who support it, are sharing
timeless and unchangeable truths as
revealed in God’s Word. Evolution has a
shelf-life and is in a state of decay.
The Word of God is forever and pure. The
7C’s of History theme at the Creation
Museum takes the Holy Bible and
faithfully proclaims that which is
eternal and true, thus redeeming real
science and jointly proclaiming the
gospel of the risen Christ, the two
being inseparable to the gracious
Creator and His Creation. Creationists,
many of whom are highly educated and
experienced teac! hers and scientists
with a reverence and saving knowledge of
God, are those whom we can look to for
answers because, by God’s grace in their
lives, they know where the answers
originate. Such answers have never been
found in the slick wrapping of
man-induced theory, but always from the
Creator of science and life itself.
|
| T.Z., Biology teacher, B.S.,
MEd. —In our day, science has
been redefined to exclude the existence
of a Creator regardless of the evidence.
Forgotten is the historical reality that
many significant contributions were made
by real scientists who really believed
in an infinitely wise Creator. But not
only that, today all fields of
scientific endeavor reveal evidences
that confound any purely naturalistic
paradigm, and reinforce the belief in a
Creator. While I respect my naturalistic
colleagues, there IS plenty of room in
the real scientific world for discussion
and debate. I commend your organization
for upholding the Bible as the supreme
source of all truth and light. Those
that reject it walk in darkness.

| C.H., Forester now
seahorse/fish breeder (Bsc (Forestry)
and MSc (botany) —As a forester
for 15 years I worked closely with
scientists in many disciplines.
Evolution, while regularly mentioned,
was completely irrelevant to the daily
application of science and research in
the field of forest management. It is a
tack-on, a less-than-satisfactory way of
attempting to explain some of the
underlying processes operating in the
natural world. Now as a seahorse breeder
for the ornamental fish trade, I work
with one of God’s most amazing
creatures. I see that domestic selection
reduces genetic diversity and reflects
that (contrary to Darwin’s concludion)
natural selection can onbly specialise
and reduce genetic diversity not lead to
evolution.

| S.K., CFO, with Master of
Accounting degree. 2 years attendance at
MIT. —I am a part-time chemistry
teacher in a Christian cottage school (a
tutorial school for homeschoolers). The
rest of the time I am CFO of a medium
sized manufacturing firm. I make it a
priority to take time to teach the next
generation, especially about science. 1)
There is no reason why atheists and
agnostics should be allowed to award
themselves an exclusive patent on
“Science.” This is simply a rhetorical
position designed to avoid serious
debate on the issues. There are many
great creationist scientists of the past
and present. 2) Science is all about
investigation of reality. Our students
deserve to learn about ALL sides of
scientific issues, not just the
proclaimed orthodoxy. The age of the
earth and the origin of life are prime
examples. Controlling access to
information and censoring opponents
ideas are simply methods of
indoctrination, not worthy of American
education. 3)Science originated as a
study of physical phenomena in the
PRESENT. That is it’s true forte.
Science cannot directly investigate the
past. However, since the days of Lyell
and Darwin, atheist scientists have
attempted to use the prestige of
“Science” to control what is believed
about the past. Creationist scientists
rightly recognize that our knowledge of
the past comes primarily from history,
not from the laboratory.
|
| R.S., Pastor, MDiv—I
am so happy that the truth of the
creation/evolution debate is now
exposed. Evolution (monkey to man) is a
faith statement with no basis in
scientific fact. There is change within
a species, but not into another species.
In fact, science supports a Biblical
view of the true origin of the species.
Thank you for making the truth known.
|
| J.R., BBiomedSc-HURD—I
am an undergraduate scientist majoring
in human reproduction and development. I
don’t see any reason that creationists
cannot be teachers and scientists, as
long as all scientific research is
carried out with the least bias
possible. Most evolutionists that I know
are incredibly biased - and hardly
objective at all. Unless they are
willing to front up with hard evidence
for once, they cannot say that people
that disagree with them aren’t
scientists.
|
| E.C., Dod, Lead weapons
integrator, Mechanical Engineer—It
isn’t a question of “creationists”
teachers or scientists. The concern, of
these people, is anyone who won’t tow
the evolutionary line. If that tower
crumbles, then so does a lot more - for
them. The FACTS are that no real science
supports the Darwinian evolutionary
model - even after more than 100 years
of “modern” scientific study.
|
| C.J., EdD Sci Ed, UnivVa 1994;
MS Enviro Bio, 1990; MEd Sci Ed, 1989;
BS Bio, 1980, GeoMasUniv —Rare
is the evolutionist that is as good a
speaker or teacher, as even the average
creation speaker! As a doctor of
education, I ought to know. The museum
is awesome, state of the art, and top
drawer all the way. There is nothing
else like it in the world. It is a vast
achievement for the Creation movement,
as is witnessed by the irrational and
vigorously vocal opposition to it. Amen.
|
| D.O., Former Teacher,
Mathematics, MAEd (Currently Business
Intelligence Analyst)—I applaud
and fully support Answers in Genesis
with the Creation Museum. I co-taught a
Math/Science course in a high school two
years ago and when it came time to talk
about evolution, the science teacher and
I presented our views about evolution
(her opinion) and creation. We allowed
the students to ask question both at
that time and after. I felt it was very
rewarding for myself and for the
students. Your work and the new museum
are supportive of teachers learning what
they need to defend a true history of
the world and universe. Thank you.

| D.W., Nuclear Engineer; Senior
Staff Engineer at Arkansas Nuclear One;
B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering,
Nuclear Option; Juris Doctor —In
34 years as practicing professional
nuclear engineer, I have learned to
respect those who are willing to
consider all evidence regarding a
scientific or engineering issue. Those
who refuse to consider evidence outside
of their frame of reference frequently
fail to discover the real solution. It
is for this reason that those who refuse
to consider the scientific data from the
perspective of an earth of an age of
6,000 to 10,000 years fail to discover,
much less accept, alternatives to what
they have been taught. I find that
Creationists, both teachers and
scientists and engineers, and there are
many out here, are more inclined to be
open to all evidence and considerate of
all perspectives, even those with which
they disagree. As a parent of six
children and four grandchildren and the
husband of a teacher, this is the type
of teacher that I would prefer my
children have. As a protector of nuclear
safety at a nuclear power plant, this is
the type of scientist and engineer that
I would prefer to rely on.
|
| D.C., Surgeon, teacher in
China, MD, PhD —As a surgeon and
teacher I find no difficulty in
accepting the Biblical account of
origins. No other approach answers the
most important questions that life
presents to us. The folly of the
evolutionists has brought confusion to
man’s understanding of origins, reason
for life, and destiny.
|
| T., 5th grade teacher, MA
—Creation is taught in the Bible and
is supported by observable science.
Families should visit the creation
museum to see that observable science
does support the truthful account of
creation in the Bible. Historical
science can be twisted to prove any
theory of origins. Parents need to teach
their children the Bible as truth and
educate their children to defend 6-day
creation using observable science.
|
| J.G., HS Science Teacher, BS
Environmental Science, MA Secondary
Education—I am often asked by
secular school teachers how I can teach
in a school that forces me to teach
creation. I reply that in my school I am
free to teach science - to allow
evidence to direct my conclusions -
evidence that leads me to a creator
whereas in public school I must teach as
science limited to naturalistic causes.

| J.M., Ph.D.,Post-Doctoral
Research Fellow, NIH, Professor
Emeritus. —1. The universe is
composed entirely of energy. 2. All
events require an energy conversion. 3.
All energy conversions devolve available
energy, i.e. the universe. 4. All events
are devolutional, the exact opposite and
excluder of evolutional. 5. Evolution is
a vitalism religion based on ignorance
of growth and development as proven by
the experiments, never overturned, of
Francesco Redi, M.D., in 1668 amongst
others. 6. The Creation Museum documents
validated historical science, not the
inverted-fantasy vitalism religion
called, evolution. 7. For its own good,
every culture needs to expunge evolution
and create more creation museums.
