Wernher Von Braun

    Have you ever heard of Wernher Von Braun? One of the top space scientists, he was a director for NASA for many years. He and his team helped invent and make a four-stage Jupiter rocket that launched the first US satellite! In another of his projects Saturn V rocket was made, sending the 1st astronauts on the Moon!
        He won many important honors and awards, and who do you think he gave credit for his achievements? God! He believed in the concept of creation in Genesis 1; he didn't believe in evolution. He said that science & religion work so well together they should be considered as "sisters"!
 


Louis Pasteur

        Louis Pasteur is known today as the "father of bacteriology." He discovered that many deseases are the result of dangerous germs invading the body. He also showed that the idea of "spontaneous generation" is incorrect. Spontaneous generation means that life can come from something nonliving, with evolutionists have to believe.
        Dr. Pasteur had a firm belief in God, and said that the more he learned from science the stronger is faith in God became! He is said to be "one of the greatest scientist in history."
   

George Washington Carver

           Does the name George Washington Carver sound familiar? He was an inventor, he found 118 different ways to use a sweet potato. He also found over 300 products using peanuts! He was a very intelligent man, and he was an amazing inventor. Guess what, he also believed in God! He taught Bible class at Tuskegee, he once said he studied the peanut so he could figure out why God had made it.


Sir Isaac Newton


        Recognized as one of the most influential scientists in history, Sir Isaac Newton was a genius. He invented calculus, he explained how gravity holds the planets in place, he invented the reflecting telescope. He also removed the last doubts about a heliocentric model of the solar system.
       Newton once said,  "...God is a living, intelligent, and powerful Being ... He is supreme and most perfect." Newton believed the Universe most certainly had a designer and creator.



Raymond Damadian

      Galileo, the "Father of modern science", Johannes Kepler an astronomer, and Michael Faraday also believed in a supernatural Creator.


 Raymond Damadian, invented the medical procedure know as MRI. He believes in creation.
     



Sir David Brewster

"What can the highest intellect on Earth do but bow to God's Word?" Sir David Brewster

Compare Sir David Brewster's words to what Dawkin said below.

 "It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid, or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that." Richard Dawkins

   
  Mr. Dawkins is certainly wrong, and next time you are ridiculed for your faith in God, remember the amazing men we have just read about who weren't afraid to stand up for their faith.

    Painting by William Rowbottom

An interesting poem, written by the ancient Chinese tribe of Miaho tribe. This was written long before Christian missionaries every reached them. Compare it to the account written in the Bible and you'll find striking similarities. This is only part of the poem, (it must be very long)
     "On the earth He created a man from the dirt. Of the man thus created, a woman He formed. Then the Patriarch Dirt made a balance of stones. Estimated the weight of the earth to the bottom. Calculated the bulk of the heavenly bodies. And pondered the ways of the Diety, God. The Patrirch Dirt begat Patriarch Se-teh (Seth?). The Patriarch Seteh, begat a son Lusu (Lamech?). The Patriarch Lama Begat the man Nuah (Noah?).
His wife was the Matriarch Gaw Bo-lu-en.
Ther sons were Lo Han (Ham?), Lo Shen (Shem), and Jah-hu (Japheth?).

    So the earth began filling with tribes and with families. Creation was shared by the clans and the peoples.
These did not God's will nor returned His affection. But fought with each other defying the Godhead. Their leaders shook fists in the face of the Mighty. Then the earth was convulsed to the depth of three strata.
  Rending the air to the uttermost heaven. God's anger arose till His Being was changed; His wrath flaring up filled His eyes and His face. Until He must come and demolish humanity. Come and destroy a whole world full of people.

     So it poured forty days in sheets and in torrents. Then fifty five days of misting and drizzle. The waters surmounted the mountains and ranges. The deludge ascending leapt valley and hollow. An earth with no earth upon which to take refuge! A world with no foothold where one might subside."
   skipping a head a little, it says how Nuah proceded to let out a dove, and there was land. They offered a offering to God. Then this.
   "Their offspring begotten became tribes and people. Their descendants established encampmens and cities. Their singing was all with the same tunes, and ther speaking was all with same words and language.
   Then they said let us build us a very big city; let us raise unto heaven a very high tower. This was wrong but they reached this decision. Not right, but they rashly persisted. God struck at them then, changed their language and accent.
  Descending in wrath, He confused tones and voices. One's speech to the others who hear him has no meaning;
   He's speaking in words, but the can't understand him.
So the city they built was never completed; The tower they wrought has to stand thus unfinished. In despair then they separate under all heaven/ They parted and circled the world-ball. The arrive at six corners and the six languages."
    Isn't it amazing how even without Christian 'influences' they taught this as their history? Could it be that they knew the truth taught from generation down? This was found in the book "The Global Flood" by John D. Morris.

 One of the 'problems' of a worldwide flood, such as is described in the Bible as the flood of Noah's time is the lack of human fossils. If there was a flood, and the earth had been well populated before it, why aren't there human fossils? There are dinosaurs, birds, plants, and sea creatures, but no humans? Let's take a look at that this.

      First of all how many human fossils should we be finding?

• ~95% of all fossils are shallow marine organisms, such as corals and shellfish.

• ~95% of the remaining 5% are algae and plants.

• ~95% of the remaining 0.25% are invertebrates, including insects.

• The remaining 0.0125% are vertebrates, mostly fish. (95% of land vertebrates consist of less than one bone, and 95% of mammal fossils are from the Ice Age after the Flood.)

  (above info found on answersingenesis.org)
That means there would be very few human fossils. They count in the remaining 0.0125% of vertebrates.

   Why are the land animals fossils so much less than marine? Well, when land animals die in water, they bloat, and eventually come apart. It is VERY difficult to trap a bloated animal underwater to become buried, and fossilized. If you've ever tried to push a beach ball underwater, you know how hard it is, though a bloated animal is much different from a beach ball, that gives a picture of how it would float. Even if it didn't float, scavengers destroy flesh & bone.
    When the flood happened, there was lots of pressure and strength in the water. The ability of underwater flows, would be able to grind bone to powder!
       
     But have there been no evidence or fossils of humans before the flood? Carl Bough, a creationist, found footprints alongside dinosaur tracks. He also found a human finger. (picture>>)

There is also no reason that we wouldn't have found lots of the human fossils yet. Many of them may be together, as the humans would have gathered together to get to higher ground. We also do not know how many human fossils have been found, but we have not been told about.

Now, if evolution is true, and humans have lived on the earth for three million years of so, many of them would have died. Where are their fossils? Evolution says there was no flood, thus there isn't a reason they couldn't have been found.
