Before coming to the creation tour, my perspective of creation was entirely faith-based.\u00a0 So if someone were to ask why I believed in creationism, I would not have a valid argument.\u00a0 But, this trip showed me scientific evidence of creation.\u00a0 It informed me of radioactive dating, fossil evidence, and rock records.\u00a0 Not only did this strengthen my beliefs but it showed me that the Big Bang and evolution were completely wrong.<\/p>\n
-Sean Han (11th\u00a0<\/sup>Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This experience was extremely blissful for me.\u00a0 It really changed my perspective on the creation.\u00a0 And I can honestly say that this tour has also helped solidify my faith.\u00a0 Before, I would believe and accept everything that I learned during school.\u00a0 However, after listening to the creation truth, I was able to see that God is the true Creator.\u00a0 I had lots of fun and had a great experience.<\/p>\n -Eileen Cha (11th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This trip for me was a very blissful learning experience.\u00a0 Last year, when I took life science, they taught evolution.\u00a0 My teacher said evolution was true and I didn\u2019t know how to say in a good way that it was wrong.\u00a0 But this trip taught me a lot more than I thought it would.\u00a0\u00a0 I now know evidence and facts, this trip taught me that if you want to be a part of something bigger than yourself, you have to make an effort.\u00a0 No one will invite and cox you into joining a group, you have to make the move of fitting in.\u00a0 In conclusion, this trip was a very blissful and exciting experience.<\/p>\n -Hope Han (8th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before creation tour, I always followed the belief that it was God who created the world, and didn\u2019t really think hard about the wonders of creation. \u00a0However, after this tour, all this creation of canyons amazed me, and really made me look at creation in a different point of view.\u00a0 I loved this tour, and am excited to learn more as I live on.<\/p>\n -Minjae Kim (9th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before creation tour, it was difficult to believe in creation because of the lack of facts about it.\u00a0 However, this trip allowed me to apply science to creation and make it more believable and understandable.\u00a0 Being able to apply what I learned in school to my religion makes it more understandable and relatable.<\/p>\n -Alex Yang (10th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before this trip, I always thought the topic evolution was valid in the world.\u00a0 When I learned these topics in school, my teacher make it fun and very real.\u00a0 During the tour, I learned so much, even to much to take it in at first.\u00a0 Listening to the seminars and watching all the videos made me wonder very deeply about these topics and if they were true, but at the end it all made sense.\u00a0 The landmark of the trip was beautiful and astonishing.\u00a0 I still cannot get over the sights we saw.<\/p>\n -Josh Lee (10th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When I first came to creation tour, I was just excited to see all the amazing landscapes.\u00a0 However, I was shocked to learn so much about how the biblical creation can be proved.\u00a0 Suddenly evolution and the big bang seemed even more ridiculous.\u00a0 Now, I want to try and challenge my classmates and friends using this info.<\/p>\n -Esther Han (9th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before coming on the tour, I would say I was excited to see all these beautiful canyons once again.\u00a0 Compared to the family vacation I went two years ago in the same places.\u00a0 I learned a lot more now than before.\u00a0 Some information I learned includes debates with evolution.\u00a0 Henceforth, I discovered some exciting facts that hasn\u2019t been really discussed around society and got to expand my knowledge on God\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n -Josh Choi (11th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before I came on the creation tour, I thought that evolution was real.\u00a0 I also thought that the canyons formed over time and that the earth was billions of years old.\u00a0 Throughout the tour, I learned about how evolution isn\u2019t real and also that we are descendants of Adam and Eve.\u00a0 If I hadn\u2019t come on this trip, I would not have learned about evolution and God\u2019s creations.<\/p>\n -Joseph Lee (6th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before I came here I didn\u2019t really care about creation.\u00a0 I just thought it was God and didn\u2019t care.\u00a0 But now I know why and what God did to create this world.\u00a0 I also learned that the flood created the Grand Canyon.\u00a0 And there are so many wonders of this world that God made that we wouldn\u2019t know if we hadn\u2019t gone on this trip.<\/p>\n -Joel Kim (5th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Throughout creation tour I was able to experience and learn about God\u2019s creations.\u00a0 I believed that the earth was 4.5 billion years old before I came, but I actually learned that the earth is about 6,000 years old according to the Bible timeline.\u00a0 I also learned how Noah\u2019s Flood resulted in canyons.\u00a0 The canyons were carved through sedimentary layers of limestone and sandstone.\u00a0 From the seminars I found out that evolution isn\u2019t real.\u00a0 Evolution isn\u2019t possible and there is no accurate evidence to prove that it is.\u00a0 From this creation tour, I learned more about God and the geography of the earth.<\/p>\n -Rachel Chong (6th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When push come to shove, I would take the Biblical account on blind faith.\u00a0 This tour allowed me to receive the information to back up my faith.\u00a0 It is amazing how God operates and is in full control of all.\u00a0 It was enlightening to see how the youth group students were able to challenge their ill formed preconceptions to pursue truth.\u00a0 I was truly blessed!<\/p>\n -Alvin Yoo (Youth pastor)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During this trip, I saw and experienced a lot of things I thought I would never do.\u00a0 I learned so much, for example, how it only took 8 hours for God to flood the whole earth.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always seen the Bible as something that I read as it is but after this trip, I realized that there\u2019s so much behind the stories and history.\u00a0 I feel truly blessed to have been here to see things like the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon and learn about God\u2019s love for us.\u00a0 Traveling as a group helped me capture the funniest and memorable moments, and I thank God for helping us stay safe throughout the past 5 days.<\/p>\n -Joy Han (7th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During creation tour I learned many things.\u00a0 Some of the things that we learned, I had a hard time accepting it.\u00a0 For example, in school, I\u2019ve always been taught that the earth is 4.5 billion year old and that the evolution was real.\u00a0 But after this creation tour, I now realized that God\u2019s word is more true and reliable than any scientist.<\/p>\n -Shirley Joo (6th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This trip has opened my eyes in more ways than one.\u00a0 Before this trip, I allowed myself to accept the creation story, but continuously questioned what I was taught in school, and how it tied to my beliefs.\u00a0 Not only were the sights and trips amazing, but I was given solid evidence of the beginnings of the earth.\u00a0 I was taught why not all of science is dependable, and how the message the Bible spits out should always be the first reference to the truth.\u00a0 I was also able to slowly grow closer with those around me, and enjoy every moment, no matter how hot or loud it was.\u00a0 It was a true blessing to have been on this trip, and I am thankful that God has given me this chance to learn while keeping us safe at the same time.<\/p>\n -Faith Han (10th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This trip and tour really strengthened my faith life.\u00a0 It made me realize that I often thought of the Bible, especially the Book of Genesis as a fable.\u00a0 Creation tour taught me that everything in the Bible is true and is fact, and it\u2019s not blind faith, but it\u2019s logical faith because there is just so much evidence to prove it.\u00a0 It brought me to have more trust and confidence in the Bible.<\/p>\n -Kaitlyn Yoo (10th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During this creation tour, I had experienced so much.\u00a0 Everything I had learned from biology, Earth science, etc. is so different (evolution).\u00a0 All this time I was just going along with what I was learning from power points and textbooks.\u00a0 But this trip has opened my eyes to so many new things.\u00a0 I loved the hiking, seeing the different sights especially at Antelope Canyon and Zion Canyon.\u00a0 For the past five days, everything that I have experienced is something that I\u2019ll cherish forever.\u00a0 I am grateful that God has given me this wonderful experience to see His wonderful and beautiful creation.<\/p>\n -Eunice Park (11th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have experienced something that I never thought I would.\u00a0 Never thought I would hike or take pictures on canyons.\u00a0 Through this trip I learned a lot, had fun, was a little bit scared.\u00a0 But in the end I feel blessed and thankful and definitely more knowledgeable than before.\u00a0 I thank the people who made this opportunity for me to learn more.\u00a0 I may or may not forget these five days but I am glad it happened, and that I came on this trip.<\/p>\n -Jacob Bae (8th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I learned that Noah\u2019s Flood was able to construct the canyons that we went to.\u00a0 I also learned that evolution is not true.\u00a0 Evolution is when a living things turns into another living things (kinds).\u00a0 Since God made us, therefore evolution is not real true.<\/p>\n -Erin Kye (2nd<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I learned A LOT in these five days.\u00a0 Probably more than I learned in the 160 days, and far more important because I learned that God\u2019s word is entirely true.\u00a0 First off, I learned about Noah\u2019s Flood.\u00a0 Noah\u2019s flood is the reason for all the canyons.\u00a0 It took very short time (to carve canyons).\u00a0 There are a lot of layers stacked up made of different materials and full of fossils.\u00a0 There is more evidence in some places than others.\u00a0 C-14 is found when carbon dating something 100,000 years old or younger.\u00a0 It was predicted that the canyons took millions of years but the fossils buried deep had C-14.\u00a0 The earth is about 6,000 years old.\u00a0 The universe is young.\u00a0 Blue stars will dies in less than 1 million years, but blue stars are everywhere.\u00a0 I learned far more than I could ever write and there is a bus full of people behind me so thank you.<\/p>\n -Kristine Yoo (6th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I learned that evolution is wrong and that God created people and the earth in the beginning.\u00a0 Dr. Kim helped me learn that Noah\u2019s Flood was really the one that created canyons and every place we visited.\u00a0 Also many things about evolution that I learned in school are wrong.\u00a0 I learned much more then I already knew because of this creation tour and that God is the creator of heavens and the earth and people.<\/p>\n -Samantha Key (6th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There were a lot of anticipation for this trip.\u00a0 However, I wasn\u2019t sure of what to expect either.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t sure if I would be satisfied with the explanations or theories.\u00a0 Now, after five days of learning and viewing I am fully convinced, satisfied, and am challenged to know better.\u00a0 I feel that it is my responsibility to know and spread this knowledge because this TRUTH solidified the TRUTH of God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 As a children\u2019s pastor, I see the need to condition our childrens\u2019 hearts and minds to receive His TRUTH from young age.\u00a0 I thank God for this opportunity to increase my faith in Him through sound knowledge.<\/p>\n -Esther Park (Children\u2019s Pastor)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I thank God for allowing myself and my whole family to experience this wonderful trip.\u00a0 As a lifelong Christian, I always believed that God is our creator but didn\u2019t have much-supporting facts to back it up.\u00a0 But through this trip, I\u2019m more able to have a much better understanding and to actually have the information to share with others that God is indeed our creator and designer.\u00a0 All the awesome sites were magnificent and just showed me how great God\u2019s creations are, and it was great to share this with our church family.<\/p>\n -Hyun Min Kye (deacon)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I learned that the Grand Canyon is stacked like pancakes and has layers.\u00a0 An the Earth is 6,000 years old.\u00a0 God created the Earth.\u00a0 The fossils that we found were shaped like stars.<\/p>\n -Claire Cha (2nd<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During this trip, I learned that evolution is wrong and that God created everything the way it is.\u00a0 Even though scientists predicted that the Earth is millions year old, it\u2019s actually about 6,000 years old.\u00a0 During the flood, Noah and his family were the only people alive.\u00a0 The water caused all the people and animals to die which left them fossilized.<\/p>\n -Allision Cha (7th<\/sup>\u00a0Grade)<\/p>\n
