TESTIM
2006 was an amazing
year for me. It was
the year that my
life changed and
everything I had
believed in so far was
turned upside down.
During my school
education I had never
really
questioned
the teaching I had
received on the topic
of ‘Evolution’ as I
took for granted that the ‘teachers’ knew
what they were talking about, so evolution
it is then.
I had retired from the Fire Service after 32
years, of rescuing others from danger, but
was still young enough to take on another
job so I joined the Highways Agency,
another rescue type of job. It was while
working there that we worked in two’s and
my colleague Dennis began to talk to me
of his faith in Jesus Christ. I found this
interesting and as he knew I liked to read
about ‘scientific stuff ’ he lent me books
on the subject of Creation Science. Wow
did I have my eyes opened! He also gave
me some DVDs to watch one was Drama
in the Rocks. I bought myself a book
too called ‘The Lie’ by Ken Ham from
Answers in Genesis and it was from this
factual information that was in the Bible,
that I began to question my own belief in
evolution.
I realised evolution cannot be proven but
creation can and there were many Biblical
references that I could see. I realised that
the human cell is so complex that it (which
can be observed) is full of information and
so cannot create itself. The complexity of
DNA which we take for granted today also
convinced me that we really are fearfully
and wonderfully made by a highly intelligent

I began to feel very angry that I had been
lied to for all of my life on this matter
and after a few months of study with my
friend Dennis, I realised there is a Creator
and that put me in a position where I
had to acknowledge Him and make a
serious decision - which I did. I decided to
acknowledge Him as my Creator. I started
going to Church with Dennis, I told all my
family (which did not go down too well).
As I found out more and more about Jesus
and that He is Alive today I repented of
my sin and accepted Him as my Lord and
Saviour and I knew I was ‘born again’ all
things became new the old things had
gone…wow. He rescued me!
God promised me He would never leave
me nor forsake me and He hasn’t. My
world view completely changed and I could
see things in a different light. I became
aware that we live in a Godless society. I
want more and more people to come to
know this wonderful Saviour Jesus. Get
inquisitive like I did. Research for yourself
and He will show you the truth as He did
me. After all Jesus said. ‘No one can come
to the Father except through Me. I am the
Way the Truth and the Life…p
