To the Bible-believing Christian, this might seem a frivolous question to ask—but not so. A growing number of Christian teachers are returning to the oft discredited "double-revelation theory," asserting that nature reveals truth just as clearly as does God's written word.

In order for an opinion about something to be credible, it must adequately explain the existing evidence. This is especially true for ideas about the long ago past.

At our seminars and in our books, we at the Institute for Creation Research take a strong stand on the young earth. We certainly don't do this to win a popularity contest, for this position is ridiculed by the secularists and many Christians alike. Nevertheless, we teach this without compromise and without apology.

Earlier this year, the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History opened a new exhibit. Entitled "DNA to Dinosaurs," it purported to chronicle the evolution of life from non-living chemicals to dinosaurs. I visited the museum in September, while in Chicago for a "Back to Genesis" Seminar.
