Q: Can you recommend any good material to help me learn about Creation
Science? Is there any one in my area teaching Creation Science
A: I
can point you to excellent sources of information that I use
myself.
I also have good news. There is a creation science resource in
South Africa. Dr. Johan Kruger is a creationist zoologist with Answers in Genesis
with a
creation ministry in South Africa. Here is the link to his speaking
itinerary: http://www.answersingenesis.org/events/bio.aspx?Speaker_ID=26
The following is some information on the different sources for creation
science materials. I also took the liberty to recommend purchases
of
materials I believe to be the best out there.
Dr. Kent Hovind is one the most popular and beloved creation science
evangelists out there. He is the minister who reached me some 8
years
ago. Science and technology is a passionate interest of mine and
has
been since about age 11 or 12. I was saved at age 23. At
that point old
things passed away, behold, all things became new. At age 30 I
got a set
of Hovind's tapes and it changed my life again. Through his ministry
I
found my calling. I am currently serving the Lord in the very important
ministry of creation science. Dr. Hovind's seminar series is a
must see
for those just getting started addressing this issue. He has an
extensive book store which includes what many consider to be the best
book ever written on the creation-evolution controversy called "Tornado
in a Junkyard." www.drdino.com
Purchase Recommendations:
1) Dr. Hovind's "Creation Science Seminar" video series
2) James Perloff's "Tornado in a Junkyard" book
Answers in Genesis is headed up by Dr. Carl Wieland, a retired medical
doctor, and they have a ministerial presence in many parts of the world
(including South Africa). This organization is comprised of dozens
of
Ph.D. scientists and they have the most comprehensive collection of
videos and books out there. They have taken a stand for a literal
6 day
creation and young age for the creation. Just about every scientific
and
creation related topic is covered in there materials. Spend some
time
with this source and you will learn pretty much everything you need to
know to counter evolution. Check out their immense DVD video collection.
www.answersingenesis.org
ICR stands for the Institute for Creation Research. This is an
organization of dozens of Ph.D. scientists that do creation oriented
research, and refute evolution with science. It is headed by Dr.
John Morris, a Ph.D. Geologist. ICR have also taken a stand for a literal
6
day creation and young age for the creation. Some of the best materials
for the medium to advanced creation science oriented people can be found
here. www.icr.org
ARN stands for the Access Resource Network. This organization is
comprised of Ph.D. scientists focused on getting the theory of
intelligent design into the public school classroom. Their videos
are
some of the best out there. In fact, the top two video I will recommend
to you are from this source. They do not get involved in the old
earth,
young earth controversy because they believe it makes the battle between
Christians and not with the evolution establishment. They do not
condemn
this discussion, just wish to focus on combating the viewpoint
discrimination and evolutionary indoctrination that occurs in the
classroom. www.arn.org
Purchase Recommendation:
1) "Unlocking the Mystery of Life" video
2) "Icons of Evolution" video
Trueorigin is a very technical site dedicated to refuting the deceptive
logic of evolutionists that try to trick uninitiated laypersons into
believing there is evidence for evolution. It is a thorough, yet
extremely technical site intended for those with an apologetics ministry
in creation science, or a very advanced understanding of the issues
involved with confronting fundamentalist atheistic evolutionists.
www.trueorigin.org
Evolution facts has one of the best books for refuting evolution. It
is
more for the advanced individual though. They have a three volume
work
chock full of scientific facts that refute evolution. They also
offer a
condensed version (1000 page paperback) that is great for college
students called the "Evolution Cruncher." I have a nephew
that used this
book to counter every argument made by the Ph.D. evolutionists at his
university. The empowerment he received from this was beyond measure.
Excellent book. www.evolution-facts.org
This should be enough information for you to make an informed decision
on
how to pursue learning more about creation science. If you have
any
questions, please feel free to e-mail me again.
In Christ,
