I was brought up without religion and accepted the teachings of Darwin.... I could not accept the Bible as true when the Genesis account of our origins was the antithesis of the ‘facts’ of evolution.
Dear AiG,
After accepting Jesus Christ as my personal savior and God, I still had reservations about the validity of God and the holy Bible. I’m a 25 year old California native with a Bachelors degree in Finance from California State University, Hayward. In the public school system and the university, Darwinian evolution and the Big Bang are the theories that students are taught as empirical facts. I was brought up without religion and accepted the teachings of Darwin and the Big Bang. I could not accept the Bible as true when the Genesis account of our origins was the antithesis of the ‘facts’ of evolution.
As a result of this conundrum I started researching alternative views to evolution. I went to Book stores and read Christian apologetics and searched the World Wide Web for answers. I found your website and was overwhelmed with the amount of information that ran contrary to the system I was indoctrinated in. My thirst for knowledge and the truth was and still is insatiable. As a direct result of your articulately written research articles my Darwinian socialization has been abrogated. Thank you for exposing the presuppositions of Darwin and his followers. Additionally, you have my many thanks for illuminating the fact that a Biblical perspective when teamed with science is beneficial and not detrimental to science as many uninformed people have been lead to believe. Please know that your hard work is well appreciated and needed in a society that has been saturated with the teachings of evolution and materialism.
Best Regards,
