In response to Ray Tallon (NZ Baptist, June), it beggars belief that anyone should believe our ministers should remain agnostic! People, mostly youth, are leaving our churches in droves over this issue. It is probably the biggest barrier to faith that our generation will contend with. We need to get informed!

Science can, and does, back creation by God. There are many hundreds of Christian Scientists out there working diligently on this. Ray asked for names. Google these ones Ray: Steve Austin, PhD geology; Ken Cumming, PhD biology; Russ Humphreys, PhD physics; Mike Oard, PhD atmospheric science; John Baumgardner, PhD geophysics and space physics. It’s not a comprehensive list, merely the tip of the iceberg.

A lot of atheists, when confronted with the true science of Evolution, and not the propaganda fed to us by biased sources, turn away from it and towards God. A good starting point to really understand this concept is www.creation.com.
