Although raised in a good home, like many young teenagers I rejected the idea of God and would at one point have called myself an atheist. Through the witness of my older brother and through a friend at high school I became a Christian, by seeking forgiveness for my sins and committing my life to the Lord Jesus Christ in a simple prayer. Although aware of the apparent contradiction between science and the Bible, the fact that Jesus Christ believed in the Genesis account as historically true was enough to convince me as a young Christian that I should accept it also! The disciple is not above His Lord. Many years later, I am more than ever convinced not only of the truth of the Christian Gospel, but also of the harmony between the biblical revelation and true science.
