This is a testimony letter from the Creation Ministries International website:<\/p>\n
Thank you so much for your ministry, without it, I probably would not be saved today. When I was little, I would ask questions about absolutely everything around me, and that naturally spread to asking questions about the Bible. My family couldn\u2019t answer me when I asked where \u2018Mrs Cain\u2019 came from<\/a>, or how all the animals fit on the ark<\/a>. When they did give me an answer, more often than not it was such a weak one that even I could see that it didn\u2019t fit. They discouraged me from asking questions about the Bible, telling me to \u2018just believe\u2019. And I tried, but it was impossible for me to stop asking those questions.<\/p>\n In school, we learned about the Big Bang<\/a> and the evolutionary theory so early I can\u2019t even remember when it was introduced. My teachers were more than happy to answer my questions, and to my mind at that age, those answers seemed to make sense. So I learned that the Bible was a nice storybook, but it wasn\u2019t true. It wasn\u2019t an overnight transformation, but I gradually began to lose any belief I had had in the Bible, and over time, I became more of an agnostic, though I called myself a Christian to keep my family happy. Faith was fine for less intelligent people who needed that crutch, but I considered myself above that.<\/p>\n In high school I actually began studying creation versus evolution playing devil\u2019s advocate against my evolutionist biology teacher. It wasn\u2019t that I disagreed with her at the time, but her arguments were so poor that I was intellectually offended that she would expect us to swallow the stuff she said. The outdated material in our new biology books didn\u2019t help her case either. I found the URL for Creation Ministries International in a book I was researching, and browsing your Question &Answer page<\/a>, I was surprised to find the answers to the questions I had been asking for over ten years in literally the first day I was at your site. Dr Sarfati\u2019s<\/a> article, Loving God with All Your Mind: Logic and Creation<\/a>, helped me realize that true faith and intelligence aren\u2019t mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t get saved right then and there, but God had His foot in\u00a0the door. All the objections that I had always had to faith were crumbling around me, and I found myself with no excuse to disbelieve. A few months later, I became a Christian. God has used your ministry to affect so many lives, mine among them. Thank you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a testimony letter from the Creation Ministries International website: Thank you so much for your ministry, without it, I probably would not be saved today.
