Have you ever heard of an MRI scanner? With over a billion MRI scans completed, countless lives have been saved by this technology. And the inventor was a biblical creationist!

Dr. Raymond Damadian was a brilliant scientist whose revolutionary research meant doctors can diagnose patients without cutting them open. And he publicly gives the credit for his invention to God.

Dr. Damadian is just one of many scientists who started with God’s Word. You don’t have to believe in millions of years of naturalistic processes to be a scientist! That’s a philosophical—not a scientific—idea. Creationists make great scientists.

We hear evolutionists say all the time that creationists can’t be real scientists. But what many of them don’t realize is that science was founded on a biblical worldview!

You see, many of the greatest scientists of the past started with God’s Word. Men like Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Francis Bacon, and Gregor Mendel all believed that since an orderly, consistent God made the world, it will be orderly and consistent. This meant that we could study creation to learn more about God and what he’s made. Modern science came out of a biblical worldview! So, yes, creationists can definitely be scientists!

Do creationists do research? Yes! Many creation scientists work alongside evolutionists studying bacteria, mechanics, or physics. Actually, most of the time science has nothing to do with evolution and creationists and evolutionists can easily work together. This is observational science.

Now others work with fellow creationists to learn more about historical science. You can’t directly test and observe the past so this is where evolutionists and creationists disagree. Many creationists study created kinds, astronomy, or geology to learn more about what happened in the past. The difference is they start with God’s Word.

The Bible tells us God is clearly seen in what he’s made. So why aren’t more scientists creationists?

Well, from a young age people are indoctrinated to think through the lens of evolution and millions of years. Those who don’t think this way are ridiculed.

And most evolutionists have never read creationist writings! They have no idea what we actually believe because they’ve never taken time to do any research.

And remember—it’s a spiritual problem. Unbelievers are blind to the truth and love darkness rather than light. The real problem? If they acknowledge God as Creator, they must also bow to him as Savior and Judge.

Many evolutionists say that creationists can’t be scientists because they reject evolution and millions of years. This is ridiculous!

Creationists and evolutionists study the same earth, the same fossils, the same rock layers, and the same universe. And yet we come to completely different conclusions because we have different starting points.

You see, evolutionists start with the idea of millions of years of change from one kind into another. And they interpret what they see through that lens. But creationists start with the history in God’s Word. It’s the same evidence—just two very different interpretations of the same evidence.

Our culture believes marriage is just a government or social institution. Since they believe life and mankind evolved, well, marriage must’ve too. And if this story is true, why not evolve what marriage means as society changes?

But Genesis gives us the true history of marriage. God created Adam and brought Eve to him to be his wife—the first marriage. The “very good” pattern for marriage that God designed and reaffirmed throughout Scripture is one man for one woman for life.

No one has the authority to change what God has created! Not the government, society, or the Supreme Court. Marriage is God’s invention!

The LGBTQ lobby has completely redefined marriage, sexuality, and gender. But what many Christians don’t realize is this is just one symptom of a bigger problem.

You see, our culture has replaced God’s Word with man’s opinion as the foundation for their thinking. Instead of acknowledging the Creator, our culture thinks with an evolutionary view. Now man decides what’s right and makes the rules as everyone does whatever’s right in his own eyes.

But we didn’t evolve. Our Creator defines who we are and what is right and wrong. And God’s design for our sexuality is clear—marriage between one man and one woman.

Caddisflies are small insects that live near lakes and streams. Several species have young that spin silk structures underwater. Debris sticks to the silk for camouflage. Well, researchers discovered fossilized caddisfly structures they say are almost three hundred million years old.

But these silk structures look identical to what caddisfly young build today! How did they remain unchanged over three hundred million years of supposed evolution?

This find confirms exactly what we’d expect starting with God’s Word. Caddisflies were designed by God in the beginning just a few thousand years ago—they didn’t evolve.

Have you ever noticed that some people worship nature, revering it as more important than people, while others carelessly destroy creation. Both are wrong!

God gave us dominion over creation. But this doesn’t mean we can just do whatever we want with what God has made. Scripture teaches that God cares for and delights in what he made, even the sparrows and lilies!

We need to care for creation but also remember that humans alone are made in God’s image. We have a special status because of this. Nature isn’t more important than people but it is important. Do you know what this means? Being a good steward means keeping both these truths in balance.

Last year it was announced that one book had experienced a massive increase in sales, and that book was the Bible! Last year Bible sales increased by over twenty percent and much of that growth was fueled by first time buyers.

So if you, or someone you know, is brand-new to the Bible, where should you start? Well, in Genesis! Read Genesis chapters one through eleven for the foundational history of who God is, who we are, and why our world is such a mess. Then go to the Gospel of John to meet Jesus and discover the answer to our sin problem.

It’s wonderful news that people are interested in God’s Word because it changes lives for eternity.
