Question
My name is Meredith Passaro and I'm a sophmore in high school. Within the last month we were given a research paper and we were allowed to choose the topic. I wanted something controversial and a hot topic no matter what the generation, so i picked the age old topic creation vs. evolution except i ran into a problem...I myself am not well versed in Bible Studies and unfortunetly i have little time to get in depth in it myself. I was wondering what the specifics of the Big Bang theory are and if there are any events that happened and are described in the Bible and also backed up by physical evidence. Also if you don't mind i'd like to ask if you believe in Fundementalism? If you have any suggestions it'd be greatly appreciated, also what are your thoughts on the whole matter?
   Thank you so much for your time,
            Meredith


Answer
Dear Meredith,

I am a King James Bible believer. I believe in the fundamentals and a whole lot more. I am big on rightly dividing and living righteously, holy and godly in this present evil world.

I am afraid I cannot help you much in a short letter on the topic you have chosen. I would suggest: http://www.answersingenesis.org/

I also would suggest that you refrain from instigating debate until you are well versed in the subject. As a sophomore you are certainly old enough to understand the investment needed in studying God's word. There is no reason why you cannot begin reading it through once or more a year. You will not understand the Bible until you know it and with out understanding it, you will not understand the world.

I hope this helps.

Your Servant In Christ Jesus,

Paul Walker
