Answer
Hi Marco,

Thank you for this great question.  I am sorry for my late response.  I am glad that you are reading a Case for the Creator.  This is a great book!  I two simple suggestions for you.

1.  Read the Gospel of John through.  There is nothing more powerful than the Bible itself.  Pray the best you know how for God to reveal Himself to you as you read.  If you can, read from a King James Bible, even though it is a bit antiquated, there is nothing more powerful in the English language.

2.  Go to http://drdino.com  and download and watch Dr. Hovind's lectures about science and the Bible.  I believe that it will do great things to help you.  It is worth the time!

I hope that this helps you get started.  If you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

In Christ
Pastor Don
