DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to three special people without whom this publication would not have been possible:

To my mother and father for their stand on the Scriptures, their insistence on purity of doctrine, and their uncompromising acceptance of Gods Word and the principles therein, which they applied to every area of life. Their example equipped me so that a higher authority (the Lord) could call me into full-time service for Him. I thank God for this Christian training and my parents stand on the infallible Word of God.

To my dear wife, Mally, who has truly been one with me in all aspects of our married life and in our participation in creation ministry. Her sincere Christian dedication and devotion in regard to my involvement in this vital ministry can be summed up by the words of Ruth, in Ruth 1:16, "For whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge." Her special Godgiven abilities and her love for children have been a real blessing to our four dear children and have enabled me to be absent at times to proclaim the message of God as Creator to millions of people in various parts of the world.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As this book is a culmination of ten years experience in the creation ministry based in Australia, it is not an easy task to recall all those who have helped and influenced me along the way.

When we inaugurated the Creation Science Foundation ministry in Australia, we certainly did not realize the far-reaching effects this ministry would have in different parts of the world. My colleagues, Professor John Rendel-Short, Dr. John Osgood, Dr. Andrew Snelling, and Dr. Steve Gustafson will recognize snippets of their research and lectures that have benefited me greatly over the years.

I would also like to sincerely thank Mr. W.F.G. Gadsby, Rev. P. Gadsby, Mr. Robert Doolan, and Dr. Len Morris for editing and reviewing the manuscript. My heartfelt thanks also to my special friend Dr. Carl Wieland who, in spite of massive injuries received in a horrendous car accident, worked with me in editing the manuscript a number of times. Many of his suggestions have been incorporated in this book to give it a polish I would not have been able to obtain by myself.

Special thanks must also be given to my two devoted secretaries: to Carol Van Luyn for the many hours spent typing and re-typing the manuscript; to Margaret Buchanan for her talented editorial skills and patience as she painstakingly worked for literally hundreds of hours in helping me put the manuscript together.
