Scott Gillis (Creation Ministries International) urges believers to be “equipped” to answer common challenges to a straightforward reading of Genesis. He distinguishes repeatable, present-day operational science from interpretations of past events (forensic/historical science), arguing that the same evidence can be read through different worldviews.
Using examples—global sedimentary layers and fossils, Mount St. Helens’ rapid strata and canyon formation, radiometric dating inconsistencies, and reported dinosaur soft tissue—he contends the evidence fits the Bible’s history (creation, fall, flood) and that this is a gospel issue. He calls the church to obey 1 Peter 3:15: train, engage, and “rescue the perishing.”
