I wanted to tell you how much it meant to both Felicia and I to be welcomed into your house this past weekend. The fellowship that we experienced with you, your wife, and your son in law was great.

The museum was truly a “life altering experience” for both Felicia and myself. Before the trip to the museum I can shamefully say that I believed in Creation but allowed the indoctrination of the school system to warp my perception of the truth. I strongly believed (past tense) that the world couldn’t have been anything less than millions and millions of years old. For years I criticized my mother telling her that she just didn’t understand evolution and natural selection enough to know what she was talking about. This was an absolute shame. I don’t know how someone that was bought by Christ could have fallen so far away from His written word, but I did.

When Felicia and I walked into the museum Felicia turned to me joked that there were robotic dinosaurs and humans sitting together in the lobby exhibit. She stated that “this was going to be different.” Different was right.

As we walked deeper into the museum we hardly spoke. You have to know that the only reason I really agreed to the trip was to silence my poor mother and I had every intention and hope that there would be holes large enough to allow for my misguided views. This was not the case.

When I was sitting in The Last Adam theater I could feel the spirit and knew that my views were shameful. Felicia told me later in the day, after we returned, that she was so convicted that she had bought into evolutionary ideology. We both cried out to God and received forgiveness. Forgiveness for our stupidity and unbelief.

The museum and the work you and your wife have done are truly a blessing. I don’t know much about how to fight off Evolutionist thinking at the moment, but I now have a deep desire to spread the truth to others.

On Monday when we returned I got the chance to explain to one of my instructors on the message of the Creation Museum. When I was finished she wanted the Web site (of which I gave her). It is my prayer that now instead of trying to find holes in the Word of God that I will trust, and help spread Gods words of Truth.

Your Brother and Sister in Christ,
Brandon and Felicia Smith (a.k.a DC girl)

We can’t speak highly enough of the hospitality you showed us by opening up your home to a couple of travelers from New Zealand. The two lasting impressions I have of America are its many beautiful places, and the warm welcome we received from the people who live there. When we stayed with you we felt like we were at home.

Your enthusiasm and joy in serving the Lord was a real encouragement. We enjoyed visiting the Museum, and yet we were equally blessed by the time we spent with you. I hope, in the years ahead, to bring the rest of my family to the Museum and also to catch up with you.

God bless, and keep up the good work.

I had time to study the displays in both museums and look into interpretations of natural discoveries. Seeing and being able to compare both was very useful and left me with a number of impressions :

[1] Evolution is just a belief. It’s not a fact, can’t be proved and is often in disagreement with science.

[2] Evolution is popular. I’m amazed at how enthusiastically it is persued and how abosulutely it is trusted.

[3] Evolution is a series of theories, each disagreeing with the previous.

[4] Based purely on evidence, a logical mind must conclude that the world has been created. This then leads to a search for the creator. How amazing and wonderful that this creator wants a relationship with us. The Creation Museum shows the beautiful story of not only the past from where we’ve come, but also why, and what happens next.

[5] The details in this natural world are astounding. We are surrounded by amazing creatures living in a fragile environment, surrounded by an enormous universe. The details and enormity are beyond description, measurement or understanding.

Frank, my time in Cincinnati was made especially good by your hospitality. (John 13:35) Thank you for the books. I’ve finished the Worldview and am on Answers now. Thanks for the lift to the museum. Thanks for the super power packed breakfast smoothie. But mainly, thanks for our discussions and the way you encouraged me. Your ministry is blessed and that’s usually a sign that you’re doing God’s will.

I do hope to return to see both museums again and to encourage you also.
