Hard Core Atheists Have "Wishful Dreams"

  Best selling author says that atheists are harder to pin down than "Jello to a wall."

 By Carl Gallups

On April 13 Yahoo news reported a story titled "The rise of atheism in America." It is listed as having been written by "The Week’s Editorial Staff."

            The article begins with a two-pronged statement followed by a thought-provoking question. The editorial staff writes, "The number of disbelievers is growing, but they remain America's least trusted minority. Why?"

Let me begin with the first premise that the "number of disbelievers is growing." Actually, this article proves what the majority of collective worldwide statistics have been saying for decades, that is - the number of those who actually claim "there is no God" consistently remains at around the 2-4 percent level. In order to say that atheism is growing in America, another completely separate group of a growing phenomenon had to be included in their figures.

Observe the next sentence of the article, "How many atheists are there? It depends on your definition of the term. Only between 1.5 and 4 percent of Americans admit to so-called 'hard atheism,' the conviction that no higher power exists. But a much larger share of the American public (19 percent) spurns organized religion in favor of a nondefined skepticism about faith."

And here we observe another trick of the atheist movement: the movement's definition is really tough to identify - by their own admission. Here we see a bold and admitted example of that fact, "It depends on your definition of the term," the writer proclaims. Yes, it does depend upon definitions. Atheists are notorious for wanting to include anyone in their "club" who has the slightest disgruntlement with church or "organized religion." As a result of this desire, the definition of atheism can often be a little "loose"... kind of like trying to pin Jello to the wall.

In order for the article to say that atheism is growing, the writers found it necessary to include in their analysis the 19 percent of Americans who "spurns organized religion in favor of a nondefined skepticism about faith." I hate to disappoint the atheist crowd, but the definition of this particular group does not even come close to the atheistic claim that "there is no God."

As a matter of fact, this statistical phenomenon of disgruntled churchgoers is something the Christian community has known in America for a long time; the church is losing a generation to societal confusion. This generation is not necessarily lost to atheism - but rather to cynicism and disappointment. They are groping around in the darkness - many of them looking for a church that is real and Spirit-filled.  All too often and sadly, the disgruntled group finds communities of believers (churches) with internal strife, misdirected focus, and a biblically lost direction. The disgruntled ones are also now finding entire denominations that used to be the bulwark of the Christian faith turning to the political correctness of the times rather than standing on the clear Word of God.

The article continues, “This group, sometimes collectively labeled the ‘Nones,’ is growing faster than any religious faith in the U.S. About two thirds of Nones say they are former believers; 24 percent are lapsed Catholics and 29 percent once identified with other Christian denominations. David Silverman, president of American Atheists, claims these Nones as members of his tribe. ‘If you don't have a belief in God, you're an atheist,’ he said. ‘It doesn't matter what you call yourself.’”

And so there you have it. The "disgruntled ones" are collectively swept up into the "atheist" category because the President of American Atheists declares them to be members of "his tribe." And, he proclaims, it “doesn’t matter what you call yourself.” Apparently, it only matters what the atheists “call you.” This truly appears to be more "wishful thinking" than statistical and practical reality.

Now we come to the standing question of the article - "WHY?" The two statements posed before this ominous question were:

1. "The number of disbelievers is growing" - but I have just shown how numbers and definitions are easily manipulated and the number of atheists, in reality, is probably at about the same statistical level that it has been - for decades.

2. "Yet, atheists are still the least trusted minority. Why?"  Could it be partly because of the very thing that I have pointed out here - atheists are notorious for shifting definitions, facts, statistics, and people groups in order to assimilate them into their statistical "tribe"? I would think this could be at least one very important reason why the atheist community is a largely "distrusted" community.

Of course, this is not the reason given by the writer of the article for why atheism is "on the rise" in America. No, their reason is much more "atheistic" in rationale. Observe the next statement, "Why are so many people leaving religion? It's primarily a backlash against the religious Right, say political scientists Robert Putnam and David Campbell. In their book, American Grace, they argue that the religious Right's politicization of faith in the 1990s turned younger, socially liberal Christians away from churches, even as conservatives became more zealous. The dropouts were turned off by churches' Old Testament condemnation of homosexuals, premarital sex, contraception, and abortion."

How convenient. People are leaving religion because of a backlash against the religious Right. The dropouts were turned off by Old Testament condemnations of such things as homosexuality, premarital sex and abortion? What? First of all - the entirety of God's Word condemns such things, from Genesis to Revelation - not just the Old Testament. Secondly, these condemnations are such a foundational part of the understanding of God's heart as expressed in the Bible, that to say "socially liberal Christians" are turning away from the church because of these things is like saying a bevy of atheists have recently turned from atheism because they are shocked that atheists don't actually believe in God! While it may be true that some in this category of "disgruntled" ones are now claiming to be atheists, it could just as easily be argued that many of them were not real "believers" in the first place.

To further illustrate the absurdity of much of the "atheist movement," along with our developing understanding of why they may be so "distrusted," let me comment on the closing statement of the atheist's article.                                                                                    
 The last several sentences of the article read as follows, "In attempting to secure the same rights and support enjoyed by religious soldiers, the association (The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers) lobbies against the idea that "there are no atheists in foxholes," and wants "atheist chaplains" made available for the ranks of the armed nonbelievers. Jason Torpy, the association's president, says that nonbelievers outnumber every religious group in the military except Christians, yet receive no ethical and family counseling geared to their own non-beliefs. "These are things that chaplains do for everybody," he said, "except us."

So now, the "nonbelievers" need a chaplain to help them with their "nonbeliefs" while they are in the foxholes of war. Why, pray-tell? Is there a "danger" of the atheist in a foxhole becoming a believer unless an atheist "chaplain" is there to help them hang on to their "unbelief?" And if the definition of "Atheism" is a non-belief in God - why do the atheists need the same "rights" as the "religious soldiers" who DO believe in God? And they wonder why much of America just doesn't trust the atheist community.

Squid ink exhibits deep-time evolution myth

ICR -

Fresh Fossil Squid Ink 160 Million Years Old?

by Brian Thomas, M.S. *

In August of 2009, the Institute for Creation Research reported that UK paleontologists found intact ink sacs within squid fossils.¹ The ink appeared largely unaltered, and the scientists used it to draw a picture of how the extinct squid variety would have appeared in real life. Now, a new team of researchers, publishing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reports that the ink is almost an exact match with modern cuttlefish ink. The age implications of this find are clearer now than ever.

These researchers subjected the fossil squid ink from two samples to eight different tests to verify as accurately as possible its chemical makeup.² One technique involved vaporizing tiny samples for analysis in a mass spectrometer, which reveals the unique mass-to-charge ratio of individual particles. This data showed, according to the authors, "that both extant [living cuttlefish] and fossilized ink samples are composed of eumelanin."²

Eumelanin—a biochemical with a complicated structure—is an abundant pigment that serves many purposes in animals and other organisms, including darkening a mammal's skin and hair. It is also notoriously difficult to work with in the lab since it refuses to dissolve in common solvents. However, because all systems tend to become disordered over time, no knowledgeable chemist or physicist would expect eumelanin's complicated structure to have persisted for 160 million years—the age assignment given to the rock formations containing the fossil ink sacs.³

The original eumelanin chemistry was still largely intact, including many short-lived kinds of chemical bonds. Using a technique called "X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy," the researchers verified that the fossil eumelanin had the same kinds of carbon bonds that occur in modern eumelanin, including reactive double-bonds.

The PNAS study authors wrote, "Strikingly, within the limits of the techniques used, the preserved pigment exhibits properties that are chemically similar to modern phylogenetically related S. officinalis [a modern cuttlefish]."² In other words, they were struck by the fact that these chemicals truly exist as fossils. If they are as old as the researchers asserted, then the potential energy stored in these chemical bonds should have been released long ago.

The study authors missed this obvious time-related inference when they wrote, "Our results demonstrate that eumelanin persists in the fossil record for at least 160 million years."² Their results did demonstrate that fossils have eumalanin that is nearly identical to modern eumelanin, but their results did not demonstrate 160 million years!

Evolutionary thinking clearly hindered these scientists' ability to accurately assess their own results. Still-well-ordered biochemicals are a kind of clock that demonstrates just the opposite of the study conclusions—these squid fossils cannot possibly be millions of years old.

John Simon, chemistry professor at the University of Virginia and co-author of the study, said, "It's close enough that I would argue that the pigmentation in this class of animals has not evolved in 160 million years."⁴ Would he be willing to consider that the reason why this pigment has not changed, and the reason why the pigment still exists in fossils, is because the millions of years have not actually elapsed?

Report: Artifact Confirms Ancient Bethlehem

ICR - The city of Bethlehem has a very long and storied history, and its great antiquity was just confirmed by the discovery of a small clay seal called a "bulla." According to the Israel Antiquities Authority, Bethlehemites used the bulla to seal an ancient shipment of a tax payment to Jerusalem during the First Temple period of the kings. Thus, it is the oldest indication of Bethlehem among archaeological artifacts.

First mentioned in Genesis, Bethlehem was the home of one of Israel's judges before the period of its kings even began. About 400 years before it was fulfilled in exact detail, the prophet Micah wrote, "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."

New panda study confirms biblical creation/flood event

Institute for Creation Research - Panda bears are restricted to remote mountains in China and have similar-sized bodies today. But fossils show that in years past some were mini-pandas, while others were giants. Plus, they lived in places far-flung from China. A new find described a mini-panda fossil fragment from Spain, reviving questions about the origin, migration, and demise of panda bears through history.

Researchers from Spain's National Museum of Natural Sciences and the University of Valencia described in the journal Estudios Geologicos two fossil teeth of a panda-like bear that was smaller than today's smallest bears. It was part of a fossil assemblage of "an extraordinary concentration of micro-mammals" that were mixed with fossils of "large mammals [that] were also abundant."¹ By comparing minute features of the teeth to those of similar-looking fossil teeth from France, the authors made a case for naming it as a new species.

The study authors also speculated that a formerly more tropical Spanish climate favored the small pandas during the Ice Age. Today, the area where the fossils were found has a dry climate. Perhaps the change to drier conditions lessened available habitat and food such that the ancient Spanish mini-pandas could no longer survive. And it didn't help their survival that at least some of them were swept away, buried in mud, and fossilized during an Ice Age catastrophe.

According to Scripture, bears once lived near the place where Noah's ark landed—near the center of the Eurasian continent. And according to science, pandas live on separate sides of that same continent. Scripture also teaches that animals were created to fill earth's environments, which God foreknew would undergo constant changes. Likewise, science confirms that creatures generate trait variations that enable them to adapt to their environments.

Last, the Scriptures teach that this world and all its animals are cursed and bound to decay. This explains the scientific notion that surviving pandas probably no longer have the robust genetic repertoire to generate giant or miniature pandas. Overall, the panda evidence fits the Bible.

Book Review: The Magic Man in the Sky: Effectively Defending the Christian Faith

With Pastor Gallups' easy-to-read, flowing writing style, his own brand of parables, and references to both the Bible and the natural sciences, the Christian will gain valuable perspective to assist their efforts in evangelizing the world, and the atheist will seriously question and reconsider their "straw man" arguments that run contrary to the proof presented within not only THIS book, but in the Holy One as well.

He turns the atheist mantra- that we believe in a “magic man in the sky”- on its head and explains why the unbeliever does not have a leg to stand on.  With a list of 15 “Vital Questions,” he systematically demolishes the idea that we cannot prove God’s existence, His words, His works, and that He is continuing to show Himself to us today.

Using a fictional conversation between two college students that could very easily represent what goes on between many of us and our friends, families, and colleagues, he begins the book with a dialogue between an atheist and a believer- a believer who is shaky in his faith.  By the end of the book, he tunes the conversation (and strengthens the aforementioned believer’s faith) to reflect the truths revealed within the tome.

Pastor Gallups uses real-world examples to discuss the difference between what the believer experiences and the unbeliever is missing, and the reaction one might expect once the unbeliever realizes his error.

He quotes from the King James Bible (my personal preference,) and shows how it applies to real-world science and history.  He explains how the biblical worldview is correct, and how the Bible and Christianity are unique in their harmony with secular history.  He reminds us of the patent lies and contradictions of the evolutionist, including the long-disproven theory of spontaneous generation.  He shows how the return of God’s people to the land of Israel and their reemergence as a global superpower was not only predicted in God’s Word, but also how it would not have been possible without God.  He also answers the atheist’s questions regarding the meaning of life, the problem of evil, and those who have not even heard of the salvation of Christ.  Finally, he exhorts the saved to proclaim the Gospel boldly and competently, and calls the unbeliever to make a decision- a decision that will have eternal consequences.

The Magic Man in the Sky has given me confidence to enthusiastically answer my aggressively anti-God friends and family when they scoff at my insistence that not only are they missing out on wonderful things- salvation and a relationship with Christ Jesus- but that there is EVIDENCE that backs up my argument that the Bible is a book of real history and predictions that are coming true as we watch.   I highly recommend this book, not only for the believer who needs reinforcements, but also for the atheist who is curious about how we plan on knocking down his false premise.

New Gene Evidence Supports Carl Gallups' Assertion: Evolution is a Myth

The erroneous idea that complex genetic information in the form of genes and regulatory DNA can randomly evolve, has become more untenable with every new discovery in the field of genomics. Just this past week, a discovery published in the prestigious British journalNature has once again spectacularly confirmed that evolution is nothing but a complete myth. While the discovery was groundbreaking, the research paper received very little publicity or fanfare in the scientific press. I wonder why?

The emerging concept that homologous recombination is a highly regulated and controlled feature of the genome limited to specific hotspots contradicts the idea of random evolutionary processes being able to produce new genes.

We also know that the key regulatory parts of the genome that are critical for gene function are protected from recombination processes. This scientific discovery is a virtual death blow to any idea that recombination can serve as a random tinkering tool to create new genes and gene functions.

New Atheist Reason for Dinosaur Extinction: Farting

Popular news headlines purport that British researchers claimed that dinosaurs choked their ancient atmosphere with their own gas. For example, "Dinosaurs 'gassed' themselves into extinction, British scientists say," according to Fox News online. Methane is a greenhouse gas and a natural byproduct of metabolizing plant matter, and many believe that excess methane production could cause catastrophic greenhouse warming on earth. But headlines like these misrepresent two key areas.

First, some of these news reports were simply inaccurate. For example, the British scientists did not say that any dinosaur-made methane caused extinction. In their paper, published in Current Biology, the scientists calculated the estimated volume of methane produced by sauropod dinosaurs They based that on estimates from fossil indications about the number of dinosaurs and how much plant matter they probably ate.

Their study concluded that, because sauropod-produced methane would have rivaled the total methane production from all modern sources, those fascinating long-necked dinosaurs "could potentially have played a significant role in influencing climate through their methane emissions." But "influencing climate" is rather different than "gassing themselves into extinction."

BREAKING - EVOLUTION TO FALL IN 2012?

Proponents of atheistic evolution have been hit with some bad news lately, which has one leading author proclaiming 2012 may be a tough year for Charles Darwin’s theory of human origins.

A Gallup survey, Google.com search trends and some Amazon.com sales numbers all suggest evolution’s ideological opponent, creationism, is on the rise in America.

Last week, for example, the Gallup polling organization released a surveyindicating that the percentage of young-earth creationists in the United States has not only increased in the last two years, but also remains the most common explanation for human origins believed by Americans.

Youtube Users Call for BOYCOTT Over Closure of PPSIMMONS Channel

There's a growing clarion call even on youtube itself for a boycott in response to youtube's closure of the mega-popular PPSIMMONS youtube channel.

Of course we're not going to publish the user names here but comment threads on videos around the popular video sharing site are suggestive and sometimes outright explicit, demanding that people boycott youtube for unfairly discriminating against a "Christian" channel referencing a "Call to Prayer" video as the reason.

The PPSIMMONS channel was in "good standing" at the time of its termination, had no copyright violations against it, and had recently been apologized to by youtube for their hostility against another video the week before.

This whole thing is quite bizarre and, according to the cries from users on youtube for a boycott, it could easily backfire on them, having the effect of driving video makers, good video makers, into the arms of other sites like Dailymotion.

Best-selling author Carl Gallups was interviewed on WND this week saying “It was as if you have a thriving business and you came to work one day and the building was burnt down and everything you had created was gone. Instantly.” Gallups was a major contributor to the PPSIMMONS content and author of "The Magic Man in the Sky". He has his own youtube channel and website where many of his personal videos can be found.

In the meantime the PPSIMMONS Ministry is alive and well on facebook and is building a vibrant presence on Dailymotion.

Currently there are plans being drawn up by attorneys to confront youtube for this apparent violation of their own policies against discrimination. This is breaking story. Stay tuned.

New Book Reveals the "Meaning of Life"

What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? The Magic Man in the Sky answers this and many other questions. Written by Carl Gallups of PPSIMMONS fame and published by WND Books, The Magic Man in the Sky effectively renders the atheist worldview indefensible.


Arm yourself against the wave of Godless naturalism screaming at society to be accepted - but deserving only to be tossed into the garbage heap of humanism's failed philosophies.

America Becoming an Atheist Nation? "No Way" Says One Man

On April 13 Yahoo news reported a story titled "The rise of atheism in America".

The number of disbelievers is growing, but they remain America's least trusted minority. Why?

How many atheists are there?

It depends on your definition of the term. Only between 1.5 and 4 percent of Americans admit to so-called "hard atheism," the conviction that no higher power exists. But a much larger share of the American public (19 percent) spurns organized religion in favor of a nondefined skepticism about faith. This group, sometimes collectively labeled the "Nones," is growing faster than any religious faith in the U.S. About two thirds of Nones say they are former believers; 24 percent are lapsed Catholics and 29 percent once identified with other Christian denominations. David Silverman, president of American Atheists, claims these Nones as members of his tribe. "If you don't have a belief in God, you're an atheist," he said. "It doesn't matter what you call yourself."

A new book scheduled for release next month is poised to change all of that. "The magic Man in the Sky" is destined to refocus the direction of the collective American worldview and possibly that of the world.

What if an Ancient Book written 3000 years ago predicted dozens and dozens of specific and detailed events in the future; amazingly and seemingly impossible events; yet they all came true?

What if many of those prophecies focused on a specific person called "God's Messiah" or the "Christ" - a coming one? And what if this was the only book in the world to speak of such a coming one and to give these details in prophecy fashion?

What if the prophecies about this coming one fortold such facts as

- The place of his birth.

- The exact location of his birth.

- That he would come out of Egypt.

- That he would begin his ministry in Galilee.

- That he would preform amazing miracles.

- An exacting formula for the very day he would present himself as Messiah (Dan 7).

- That he would be rejected and beaten.

- That he would be crucified (Psalms 22, Zechariah 12).

- That the very words used to mock him were recorded (Psalms 22).

- That they would gamble for his clothing under his cross (Psalms 22).

- That he would be ressurected before full 3 days had passed (Psalms 16).

And what if ALL those and many more specific prophecies like these were fulfilled in only one person who ever lived? Out of 7 billon people alive now and billions who lived before now - only one - just one single solitary human being has EVER fulfilled all the prophecies to the letter, every exacting detail. And what if, just what if history and these amazing books in the New Testament record the fulfillment of those prophecies? And what if the calendars of the world were changed to mark the fulfillment of these amazing and statistically impossible prophecies?

But what if this amazing and ancient book went on to prophesy that a singular nation, Israel, would be brought out of another nation, Egypt, and it would be established as the nation that God would use to bring into existence his Word, his prophets, his church, his Holy Spirit, and the Gospel? And yet first this nation would go into thousands of years of exile because it would be disobedient to God but that God would eventually bring this nation back and restore its language, borders, peoples, government, glory and power? And what if, down through thousands of years of recorded human history, all of this, every single bit of it, happened. What if we see it on your television set everyday and what if only one book in all the world ever made such astonishing statements and predictions, yet they all came true anyway? And what if God declared in that book, thousands of years ago, that when we saw these things happen we would know that he was God, and only he was God, and that this was in fact - His Word.

Would these things just be a coincidence? Mathematically impossible coincidences?

Or might you believe that this ancient book was somehow supernatural, inspired, maybe even the Word of God from the Spirit of God himself? The one who moved ancient men of God to pen the words that would reveal the Glory of God to us - especially us?

What might YOU believe about these things?

If there was just one other book in the world that even came close to these amazing truths we might look at it differently, but there is not one, not even ONE that even comes close. Why is that? Because THIS is the Word of the Living God and Yahweh is God and Jeshua is his Christ.

Yet with all this evidence and more, Richard Dawkins refuses to concede. His book, "The Magic of Reality", as boldly declared by those who reviewed it, seeks to indoctrinate children of all ages into the most closed-minded delusion imaginable.

Now a small town preacher is taking on Dawkins with a powerful new book called "The Magic Man in the Sky". It is a book heralded as a definitive expose on that which most people already know. Gallups proves the existence of God in this first of his works by using rational, clearly understood language and finally closes to door to the doubt which plagues so many because of people like Richard Dawkins.

So order your copy today. Get the book which, even before its release, has made it to number one in its category on Amazon. Do it now.

Carl Gallups Book Offers Antidote to Dawkins' Poisonous "Magic of Reality"

Creation Ministries International has just released a blisteringly honest review of Richard Dawkins' newest book which came out last year and will soon be released on Kindle.

Richard Dawkins’ latest book, The Magic of Reality (MOR), is quite unlike his previous works, not least because he would like children to read it. Certainly, there is little doubt that the colourful, eye-catching artwork of his collaborator and illustrator Dave McKean1 has enhanced its accessibility and considerably extended its reach. So, what kind of book is it? It’s a well-written, engaging, wide-ranging romp through all sorts of interesting questions about life and science. But, to borrow the words of nineteenth-century geologist Adam Sedgwick,

“From first to last it is a dish of rank materialism cleverly cooked up … . And why is this done? For no other reason, I am sure, except to make us independent of a Creator.”

According to CMI, "The Magic of Reality" is nothing more than a giant Bible-bashing hyperbole. Writing in London’s Financial Times, Neville Hawcock writes:

"Give me the child’, the Jesuit maxim is supposed to have run, ‘and I will give you the man’. But not if Richard Dawkins gets there first. The arch-atheist’s new book, The Magic of Reality, is designed to inoculate tender minds once and for all against the supernatural and its apologists.”

So between the two separate reviews of Dawkins' new book (CMI & FT) they have both come to the same remarkable conclusion: Dawkins is indoctrinating people and he's going after the young, the impressionable, your kids!

Funny how the name of Dawkins' book sounds strikingly similar to another book to be released very soon. "The Magic Man in the Sky" (WND Books) written by Carl Gallups is widely heralded by scholars and educators as a sound and solid refutation to all of Dawkins' ideas.

Having received stunning reviews by leaders of academia "The Magic Man in the Sky" will be, nay, is the antidote to the most closed-minded philosophy imaginable - atheism - with all of its tenets and presuppositions. Richard Dawkins' work is summarily dealt a death blow as Gallups systematically tears apart the naturalistic worldview and frees the mind of the delusion of modern atheism.

"The Magic Man in the Sky" will be a bulwark in your life and the lives of your loved ones against the onslaught of modern atheism sweeping college and university campuses and main stream media. And even though it's not a popular thought, there is a hell to shun and a heaven to embrace and ultimately to have a closed-minded zoologist talk you out of it will be no excuse.

"Carl Gallups is quickly emerging as one of the most passionate, courageous and stimulating Christian radio talk-show hosts in the country. He is absolutely fearless."

-Jeffrey T. Kuhner, columnist, radio talk-show personality and President of the Edmund Burke Institute for American Renewal

"Few authors articulate the intellectual condition of the church as clearly and effectively as does Carl Gallups in his new book, The Magic Man in the Sky. Compelling story telling, careful construction of thought, and solid theological foundations provide one of the best defenses of a biblical world view currently available. I solidly endorse Gallups' work."

-Mark Foley, Ph.D.

President, University of Mobile

"A long time ago in a galaxy not far away, ignorant folks believed in spontaneous generation, wrongly thinking that life simply jumped out of non-living matter. As Carl Gallups so rightly shows us, those people are still around today. They're called atheists."

-Joe Kovacs, bestselling author of "The Divine Secret" and "Shocked by the Bible"

"Carl Gallups has created a work as unique as the man himself. The danger of studying biblical apologetics is that all too often it creates an environment as sterile and strange as a surgical room. Though vitally needed, these books tend to be complicated, rarely enjoyable, and more than a little intimidating. In The Magic Man in the Sky, Carl Gallups takes the reader into a real world setting to which he can easily relate. The book flows, as does life, through the telling of a story."

- Dr. Dennis Brunet (Ph.D.) Adjunct Professor - New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary

Senior Pastor - Midway Baptist Church Midway, Fl

"In this hour of all-but-universal darkness, a bright ray of hope and confidence shines forth from the truths of this book. In a time when lives are marked by a growing hunger for spiritual realities, a hunger that cannot be satisfied with unanswered questions ignored and evaded by evolutionists, Carl Gallups, with remarkable ability and profound truths from Scripture, reveals the truth that real science and Holy Scripture are inseparably linked."

-Dr. Fred Lackey

Assistant to the President - University of Mobile

Past President - Alabama Baptist Convention

Congratulations for producing such a spiritual book. America needs to go back to its Judeo-Christian foundations that the Left and so called Liberals have been trashing for almost 50 years. God bless you.

Ibn Q. Rassooli - Author of best selling book - LIFTING THE VEIL

From the pre-release sample chapters I read, Carl did a great job debunking evolutionists. Long overdue.

-Jerry McGlothlin - Founder & CEO - Specialguests.com

Yes I have known the God of the Universe personally and experientially but to have his existence confirmed on a cerebral, rational level completes the tapestry painted by Jesus who famously said in Luke 10:27 we are to love the Lord our God with our entire mind... this book will take you there.

-Mike Shoesmith - Author, talk radio personality, Social Media Coordinator for the world famous and viral You Tube channel, PPSIMMONS
