Some Present Day PhD. Scientists Speak Out

"The evidence points to an intelligent designer of the vast array of life, both living and extinct, rather than to unguided mindless evolution." (Nancy M Darrall, Speech Therapist at the Bolton Community Health Care Trust in the UK. She holds a PhD in Botany from the University of Wales.)

"Evolutionary theories of the universe cannot counteract the above arguments for the existence of God." (John M Cimbala, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Pennsylvania State University. John holds a PhD in Aeronautics.)

"The correspondence between the global catastrophe in the geological record and the Flood described in Genesis is much too obvious for me to conclude that these events must be one and the same." (John R Baumgardner, Technical Staff Member in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory. John holds a PhD in Geophysics and Space Physics from UCLU.)

"We have already seen that no such system could possibly appear by chance. Life in its totality must have been created in the beginning, just as God told us." (John P Marcus, Research Officer at the Cooperative Research Centre for Tropical Plant Pathology, University of Queensland, Australia. John holds a PhD in Biological Chemistry from the University of Michigan.)

"The fossil record is considered to be the primary evidence for evolution, yet it does not demonstrate a complete chain of life from simple forms to complex." (Larry Vardiman, Professor from the Department of Astro-Geophysics for Creation Research, USA. Larry holds a PhD in Atmosperic Science from Colorado State University.)

"I ・have no hesitation in rejecting the evolutionary hypothesis of origins and affirming the biblical alternative that 'in six days the Lord God created the heavens and earth and all that in them is'. (Dr Taylor is senior lecturer in Electrical Engineering at the University of Liverpool. Dr Taylor has a PhD in Electrical Engineering and has authored over 80 scientific articles.)

"I believe God provides evidence of His creative power for all to experience personally in our lives. To know the Creator does not require an advanced degree in science or theology." (Timothy G Standish is an Associate Professor of Biology at Andrews University in the USA. Dr Standish holds a PhD in Biology and Public Policy from George Mason University, USA.)

"At the same time I found I could reject evolution and not commit intellectual suicide, I began to realise I could also accept a literal creation and still not commit intellectual suicide." (AJ Monty White, Student Advisor, Dean of Students Office, at the University of Cardiff, UK. Dr White holds a PhD in the field of Gas Kinetics.)

"So life did not arise by natural processes, nor could the grand diversity of life have arisen through no-intelligent natural processes (evolution). Living things were created by God, as the Bible says." (Don Batten, a research scientist for Answer in Genesis in Australia. Dr Batten holds a PhD in Plant Physiology from the University of Sydney and worked for 18 years as a research scientist with the New South Wales Department of Agriculture.)

"In the words of the well-known scientist, Robert Jastrow, 'for the scientist who has lived by faith in the power of reason, the story [of the quest for the answers about the origin of life and the universe] ends like a bad dream. he has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." (Jerry R Bergman, Instructor of Science at Northwest State College, Archbold, Ohio. He holds a PhD in Evaluation and Research from Wayne State University and a PhD in Human Biology from Columbia Pacific University.)

Famous Scientists who believed the Bible

Brilliant modern day scientists are not all hardened atheists!
There is sometimes a perception that the only position for any modern, logical thinking scientist is one of disbelief in the existence of God but -

"Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us ... the atheistic idea is so non-sensical that I cannot put it into words." (Lord Kelvin)

"I am a Christian ... I believe only and alone ... in the service of Jesus Christ ... In Him is all refuge, all solace." (Johannes Kepler)

"Order is manifestly maintained in the universe … the whole being governed by the sovereign will of God." (James Prescott Joule)

"There are those who argue that the universe evolved out a random process, but what random process could produce the brain of man or the system of the human eye?" (Werhner Von Braun)

"Almighty Creator and Preserver of all things, praised be all Thou has created." (Carl Linnaeus)

"I am a believer in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity." (Sir Joseph Lister)

"The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God." (Louis Pasteur). Pasteur strongly opposed Darwin's theory of evolution because he felt it did not conform to the scientific evidence.

Robert Boyle believed in Jesus Christ's "Passion, His death, His resurrection and ascension, and all of those wonderful works which He did during His stay upon earth, in order to confirm the belief of His being God as well as man."

Sir Isaac Newton said, "Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance." and also "The true God is a living, intelligent and powerful being."

Michael Faraday was careful to "Thank God, first, for all His gifts."

If you believe that "Christians can't think for themselves" we encourage you to read "21 Great Scientists Who Believed the Bible" by Ann Lamont

Brilliant people believe the Bible

Many brilliant people believe the Bible and in it's Author. Here are some quotes from some famous composers:

"To God's will I submit myself." 12 (George Frederic Handel)

"To God alone, the glory." 12 (Johann Sebastian Bach)

Bach would frequently initial his blank manuscript pages with the marking, 'J.J.' ('Help me, Jesus') or 'I.N.J.' (In the name of Jesus)." 12

"I offer all my praises to Almighty God ... Each day I prayed to God to give me strength." 12 (Franz Haydn)
"God, be my Rock, my light, forever my trust." 12 (Ludwig Van Beethoven)

"May God be with you." 12 (Felix Mendelssohn)

"Through Christ alone ... salvation comes to us." 12 (Franz Liszt)

If you think that "Christians are uncreative people" we encourage you to read the book: "The Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers" by Patrick Kavanaugh. Get a copy and read what some of the greatest musical composers of all time believe to be the truth about God, Jesus and the Bible.

The Bibles ability to change lives

Many, many, people have over the centuries, have been transformed by the word of God. It has transforming power when people read it in faith and obedience. It hasn’t mattered when they have read it, where they have read it, no matter their nationality, their level of education, nor their age, sex or any other previous religious experience. People have become God’s adopted children through faith in Jesus Christ and that by experiencing the life changing power of the word of God.

People whose lives have been lived in spiritual darkness and sin have been set free by the love and grace of God revealed and understood by them as they have read the word of God. You would expect a book given by God, to man, to have such a dynamic affect on those who read and embrace it. Without a doubt the Bible is such a book.

The Bible is full of Prophecy

A definition – prophecy =
1. the foretelling or prediction of what is to come.
2. something that is declared by a prophet, esp. a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation.
3. a divinely inspired utterance or revelation: oracular prophecies.

Throughout the Bible the most significant examples of prophecy, and that means fulfilled prophecy, are those prophecies dealing directly with the person and life of Jesus Christ. There are a number of great books available now that compile the prophecies together. Josh McDowells book “Evidence that Demands and Verdict is one I often refer back to when wanting to reference this kind of material. In it he analyses over 60 prophecies from the Old Testament that were fulfilled in Jesus life, death and resurrection. On top of that he also lists more than 300 other prophecies that are directly applicable to Jesus.

What follows is a list of 10 examples of prophecies made about and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

1). Born of a virgin: Isaiah 7:14 / Matthew 1:18-25;
2). Born at Bethlehem: Micah 5:2 / Matthew 2:1;
3). He is the prophet promised by God: Deut 18:18 / Matthew 21:11, John 6:14;
4). He is Lord of all: Psalm 110:1 / Luke 2:11, 20:41-44;
5). He is the Son of God: Psalm 2:7 / Matthew 3:17
6). He was anointed by the Holy Spirit: Isaiah 11:2 / Luke 4: 16-21;
7). He was to be a light to the nations: Isaiah 9:1-2 / Matthew 4:12-17, John 8:12
8). Details of His death: He was mocked and sneered at - Psalm 22: 7,8 / Matthew 27:31; they divided His garments among themselves -Psalm 22:18 / John 19:23-24; His heart burst - Psalm 22:14 / John 19:34; being thirsty He was offered wine and gall - Psalm 69:21 / Matthew 27:34; none of his bones were broken Psalm - 34:20 / John 19:33; his side was pierced - Zechariah 12:10 / John 19:34; His hands and feet were pierced - Psalm 22:16 / Luke 23:33, John 20:25; He was crucified with thieves yet buried in a rich man's tomb - Isaiah 53:9-12 / Matthew 27: 38, 57-60; He was the Lamb of God who was sent by God to take away the sins of the world - Isaiah 53 / John 1:29,
9). His resurrection: Psalm 16:10 / Acts 2:31;
10). His ascension to the right hand of God: Psalm 68:18, 110:1 / Acts 1:9, 2:34-35, Hebrews 1:3.

Any book that consistently, accurately and forthrightly predicts future events must be considered as being unique. Unique enough to be said to have it’s origin with God. The Bible is such a book.
