". . . I live in the heart of the Bible Belt, . . . and I feel like this is an environment in which no one questions what they've been told. And not until I've recently started to question my faith have I felt the strength in it that I do now. It's reassuring to know that there are a whole bunch of believers out there who are brave enough to think. I will be watching."

". . . Josh McDowell gave me what I needed to believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and become a Christian six years ago. You are giving me research and information to strengthen my faith as well as become passionate about spreading the Gospel."
Keith, Laguna Niquel, Calif.

". . . A member of the ministry team observed two guys at your campus lecture last week. At first, they acted embarrassed to see each other there. At the end, one asked the other, 'Well, what do you think?' The other replied, 'The guy seems to know his s---.' They agreed to buy one book each and then swap when they finished reading. May God use those books in their lives and the lives of many others. . . ."

"A friend mentioned your web site and suggested I check it out. He had no clue what an impact it would have on my heart. . . . I am writing to say thanks for the work you've done. As a new Christian of about three years, I am filled with questions about creation and the beginning of our universe. I asked my Bible study leader if reading and searching for scientific answers about the cosmos was taking me on a path further from God. He said, 'No, by all means, do your investigation and satisfy your questions. I have faith that you will not stray from the Creator but will find that He is at the center of it all.'
Thanks for opening my eyes, heart, and mind that much further toward Him.”

"While my need for integrity in all areas of my life requires that I accept the overwhelming evidence for evolution, I appreciate a person such as yourself who is honestly trying to reconcile his religious faith with the scientific evidence. My opinion of most self-proclaimed creationists is rather low; far too often, they allow their religious preconceptions to cloud their intellectual judgment, something I personally find repugnant—and, in a very real sense, blasphemous. . . . I am hopeful that someday your more even-handed approach to the issue of origins will become the mainstream attitude among the Christian community."

". . . I was a young man who had no religious upbringing. I was anti-Christian, into Satanic music, a member of a skinhead group, and heavily into drugs. Finally I fell into a deep depression and mentally began exploring, ‘what if there was no God?’ and what that meant to me. I became frightened and obsessed with proving the existence of God—reading, looking, talking to people. I finally sought professional help, a Christian counselor. I had a girl friend who was a Christian, and I GOT BETTER, BUT NEVER REALLY HAD MY ANSWERS!
I began reading Christian apologetics books, and then I discovered Dr. Ross’s book, The Creator and the Cosmos. I was amazed at how technical it was, and I always thought Christians were dumb, Bible-quoting ninnies. I thought being a Christian made you give up your brains. I was wrong, really wrong. . . . Thanks for your wonderful [web] page and work. I share it with anyone who has doubts. Once again, thank you for showing me that Christianity is an intelligent faith. God bless!"
