Having been raised in a non-Christian home and having gone to public school where they taught millions of years and taught that we came from primordial soup - most recently from apes - when I came across Answers in Genesis, I thought these guys were kinda "off". I was a new Christian, listening to a local Christian radio station - to a Bible study - and the pastor was talking about how Jesus had referred to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jonah...as real people and not just characters in a morality story. He referred to the flood as a real event in time and that was a revelation for me! I thought, if Jesus believed that stuff and all those people were real - then I do, too.
I got some DVDs from AIG for my daughter to replace her evolutionist National Geographic ones and she loves them! We got to meet Buddy Davis in person last year. I've listened to Ken Ham speak and it took some time but my world view has changed. I don't see monkeys as distant relatives - I see them as animals. I don't see millions of years of rock layers - I see the effects of the flood. I see the Good Lord's design in all of nature. I think of what He told Job - "Where were you, Job, when I laid the foundations of the earth" and He goes on for 3 or 4 more chapters describing just some of what He created and my reaction is the same as Job's - both hands over my mouth and sit down!
So many people lose their faith - or their potential for having a faith in God - because they cannot reconcile the Bible's history and what evolutionists are teaching. "Everybody knows the earth is billions of years old and dinosaurs were extinguished by a big meteor! God, (if they believe in Him) could have created thru evolution." Well, I beg to differ. Now that my eyes are opened, I see the evidence for the flood and there are sights on the web that also show archeological findings that show giants lived on the earth once and technology that existed before it "should have". Yes, getting the truth - God's Truth - out is important to building our faith. We must fight the devil's lies with God's Truth - our sword.http://www.rr-bb.com/images/smilies/prophet.gif
