As the unified body of Christ, we marvel when individual notes come together to form beautiful harmonic chords. Dino Dave and Dr. Brian were blessed to experience this firsthand when they traveled to Bangkok in November 2025 to share evidence for creation and Christ.
It all began in 2024. ICR Discovery Center volunteer Paiboon Sithiopaskul volunteered to translate ICR’s booklet Creation Q&A into Thai. Nobody suspected this offer would open so many doors for creation to reach Thailand and beyond. Upon learning that Scripture Union (SU) Thailand would translate it, ICR President Dr. Guliuzza suggested that ICR should send creation speakers for the launch of the book. A year later, Dave and Dr. Brian flew halfway around the globe to speak for five days in tropical Thailand.
Attendees at one particular event began to pick up Dave and Dr. Brian’s main theme and melody. That evening, Dave used a Spinosaurus tooth fossil at the lobby display to discuss with one young Thai visitor how dinosaurs died only thousands of years ago in the Genesis Flood. This made sense to him, and he happily accompanied Dave into Dr. Brian’s main session to learn more about how science relates to the Bible.
A powerful question time followed where questions came not from doubt but from excitement—science actually confirms the Bible! During this time, the attendees began to harmonize with Dave and Dr. Brian’s melody. One elderly woman had spent four decades as a Buddhist nun before recently finding new life in Christ. She asked a key question but did it before the microphone could get to her. Thankfully, the translator heard it and said, “She asks, ‘Are you saying that Jesus created us all?’” Dr. Thomas exclaimed, “Yes!” Unprompted praise broke out at this good news. She now knows her Savior also as her Maker! Dave and Dr. Brian’s travails suddenly felt “not worthy to be compared with the glory” (Romans 8:18). No wonder they want to return in 2026!
Other groups now want in. SU Indonesia and SU Vietnam want to translate ICR books. They recognize both how evolution’s unscientific and godless view steers people away from the Savior and the need for the faith-building, life-changing truths that our Maker wants to save us and that science backs this gospel.
ICR’s heart is doing science, and then ICR’s hands take that science to the streets. When you prayed for and donated to ICR in 2025, your notes blended with the harmonies felt that night in Thailand and in each day’s labors in Dallas. With your partnership, we can keep up “the good fight” for souls at home and around the world (1 Timothy 4:2). Together, we form a symphony of saints serving our Creator and Savior, King Jesus.
