I was brought up in a relatively intellectually oriented home. We read all the "National Geographic Magazines" and science books we could devour. Although we lived in the countryside, we only looked through the eyes of what others said, instead of looking through the eyes which God gave us.

 I took all the usual evolution oriented classes throughout high school, college, and some post graduate classes as well. I was taught that we came from apes, which came from "lesser" mammals, which came from little hoppy things, which came from minute creatures, which came from slime, which came from a big bang, which came from matter that had no beginning and no end, which came from nothing.

 I was a devout evolutionist and accepted that whole generalized scenario and thought that when one died the "lights went out" and that was all. How lonely! and depressing! In part, as a lusty teenager and young adult, such belief was very convenient allowing me to be the center of all that I desired to think or do, no matter what the repercussions might be. I also did not examine the implications of the myriad of competing evolutionary "theories" which are popularly lumped together in the appearance of unity and claimed to be truth, even though they often undermine each other's tenets.

 On the moral, social, and emotional issues, I knew when I was really wrong, even though I did not want to admit it; even though I was not aware that I was practicing poor scientific technique in those days. I just fought the truth harder and harder to avoid admitting that all this wonderful Creation has to have a Designer, a Law Writer, a Maintainer, and a Life Giver. I DID NOT WANT to face the fact that even the things which appear most simple are complex, deceiving our senses because of the scale on which we naturally view them. Recent discoveries about electromotive motors and torque in bacterial motility mechanisms bear this out. See the Creation Research Society link below to contact them for their quarterly magazine detailing this information (Vol 31, June 1994, Number 1).

 After 15 March 1984, when I trusted Christ for His salvation, I have taken a different path from the evolutionary view: as I have studied the Bible and science with a more open mind and heart, I have found that God REALLY "IS," and that He is THE AUTHOR of all that we see in the natural and supernatural. He is the Law Giver who restrains the evil that has grown up in His Creation. He is neither the inventor of evil, nor of chaos, but of decency and order.

 Sin (missing God's mark by self-ish will) is the source of death and destruction. The whole of God's creation now groans waiting for God to cleanse it from the ravages of sin. His cleansing will be by fire and total destruction of all that now exists, except those He takes to Himself before the end, those who have honestly trusted Him and His Christ rather than man-made religion. Humanity can not save itself from itself, nor from the Judgement to come. This is not some new revelation, but biblical teaching that is almost 2,000 years old as recorded in the Bible Gospels and letters of Peter, Paul, and John, not to forget the preceding and foundational eons of Old Testament history and prophecy.

 The following links go to experienced scientists and/or science study groups in a variety of disciplines who subscribe to the literal biblical account of creation. If you believe the Bible account, you are not alone. There are literally thousands of "bona fide" scientists, with a host of advanced degrees, who have come to the realization, mostly through their own research, that the universe is all a NEW and YOUNG work of God, just as God recorded in the Bible to show us His truth.

 It would be erroneous on my part to not admit that scientific, technical, and interpersonal errors have been made, at times, by parties on both sides of the creation-evolution debate. However, let us not lose sight of the fact that in the purest sense of scientific methodology both evolutionistic and creationistic outlooks are not testable, nor can we repeat the INITIAL event/s. God says He is the ONLY Witness to the Beginning. To be honest, all concerned parties need to admit that BOTH VIEWS ARE BASED BY FAITH ON CERTAIN PRECONCEIVED IDEAS which in turn are rooted in our families, cultures, hopes, fears, and aspirations in this life.

 God places the banquet of faith before us in the light of the well ordered universe He has created, and waits for us to awaken to the splendor of what He has done, that we might partake and praise Him for His beauty and glory. May the Good Lord bless your SEARCH, and your RESEARCH.
