Be Salt & Light:
Become familiar with the organizations in our
Science section, and
with a few of the resources listed above. The first requirement is
to be informed, articulate, and capable of educating others.
You can do it!
Be on the lookout for origins-related issues
(i.e. creation, evolution, intelligent design) in the news,
newspapers, magazines. Keep excerpts or clippings for further contemplation
and discussion. Make a phone call, write an editorial,
or send email and make your viewpoint known. Once you're well-versed
on the subject, write an Op-Ed.
Encourage conversation on origins issues - support the
admission of Intelligent Design theory in the debate. Lead a
small group discussion, teach a class in your church, and
discuss the issue with your local school board, state
Board of Education, and U.S. Secretary of Education.
Organize a group of scientists and scholars on the issue;
Christian schools, colleges, and universities - even your own
congregation - are a good place to start.
Support, through prayer and financial means, organizations
such as Discovery Institute,
Access Research Network,
and Reasons to Believe.
