Daniel Park\u00a0 \u201cI had read Genesis several times, but each time failed to bring forth the apparent struggle between school teachings and biblical teachings.\u00a0 I discovered new evidence (as rather old evidence and new perspective) that made creationism real.\u00a0 Thank you for this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

JuwonLee\u00a0 \u201cThrough this trip, I was once again shown how incredible God is.\u00a0 A lot of times, as Christians, we are forced to be religious only by faith.\u00a0 However, in the twenty first century, faith in the intangible is often ridiculed.\u00a0 Therefore, even when many young people want to be Christians, they are hesitant because God is not something that our materialistic society values.\u00a0 But this trip gave evidences, scientific evidences, in which we can observe to prove God\u2019s existence.\u00a0 I really hope that more people can learn about how convincing and true creationism is and can build a strong base for the Christian community.\u00a0 I personally hope to be able to work as a Christian leader and spread the truth later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellen Lee\u00a0 \u201cThank you for a thorough lesson on creation science.\u00a0 I\u2019m convinced all the more that our God is true and living.\u00a0 I feel obligated to share these facts with others.\u00a0 I would like to study further about those evidences of His creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joshua Oh\u00a0 \u201cBeing on the tour for the second time, I thought there was nothing more to learn, but I was wrong.\u00a0 God is so strong and so powerful and there\u2019s also so much to learn about our Almighty God.\u00a0 God\u2019s love is never ending and I appreciate Dr. John\u2019s tour\/knowledge.\u00a0 God is good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samuel Chung\u00a0 \u201cAt first I really did not want to go to this trip and really doubted creationism because of all the convincing, realistic evidence that evolution gave.\u00a0 I had really little faith in God and expected nothing from this trip.\u00a0 But after listening to Dr. Kim and seeing all the beauty the earth holds, I realized the beauty of this world couldn\u2019t be out of randomness and accident.\u00a0 This really saved my faith in God\u2019s creation and made me really thankful to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joshua (Jung Hoon) Chung\u00a0 \u201cI believe that it is no accident that I was brought to this creationism tour.\u00a0 I believe that God brought me here and that it was His will for me to be exposed to the truth.\u00a0 The truth that He is really God, the Creator and my Father.\u00a0 Before this trip, I was falling away from my faith, the world got in the way of my relationship with God.\u00a0 I was subject to sin and filled with doubt as a high school student.\u00a0 I realized how far I was away from Him so I prayed for strength and a way to come back and stick to the path that He has set for me.\u00a0 This creationism tour is God\u2019s work in my life and I realize that he has answered my prayers.\u00a0 He has opened my eyes to see the truth in His creation.\u00a0 This trip has brought me back to the path of a Christian and now I have no doubt that He is true God and Creator, my Father and Savior.\u00a0 I am his child and the most thing I fear now is living according to His Word and keeping faithful.\u00a0 I ask for prayers to help me on this journey as I know there are many temptations to break my relationship with my Father.\u00a0 I want to seek Him forever.\u00a0 Now I know what it means to fear God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jayne Chung\u00a0 \u201cBefore coming onto this trip, I fully loved biology and had no doubts about evolution.\u00a0 So, I had no idea what to expect from this tour.\u00a0 Now, three days later, I have new curiosity to learn all I can about evolutionary biology and Christianity.\u00a0 This trip brought up topics that I had never before considered thoroughly, such as the Flood carving the canyons.\u00a0 I am grateful for not only learning more about creation\/evolution, but also for meeting people that I would not have the opportunity to meet others and getting to know people from my own church.\u00a0 This trip was a great experience and I am thankful I had the chance to come on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iris Chung\u00a0 \u201cI have always been different from other kids at church.\u00a0 Things that they would accept so easily were extremely difficult for me to swallow.\u00a0 I am naturally many things \u2013 skeptic, debate, rationalist \u2013 but not Christian.\u00a0 It was only through my mom\u2019s great efforts that a seed of faith was planted in me.\u00a0 However, subjects such as predestination and creationism always caused my faith to falter.\u00a0 That is why I am very grateful to have come on this tour.\u00a0 I was able to gain more knowledge and develop respect for creationism and Christianity as a whole.\u00a0 I have also realized that blindly trusting science is not a good thing either.\u00a0 In the future, as I do more research, I will make sure to look at creationism and evolution through unbiased eyes as 2 equally plausible theories until I reach what I find to be the truth.\u00a0 I thank Dr. Kim and everyone who helped for a great experience and I hope we all do well in the future.\u00a0 Praise God!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tong Il Seo\u00a0 \u201cThis trip was a blessing for me because I got to learn so many things that I will never interested to learn.\u00a0 As a raised in a devout Christian family, I never doubt the Bible and He created heavens and earth and everything in the world in 6 days.\u00a0 However, I was never interested in even listening and seeing the perspective of evolution.\u00a0 But through this trip, I get to see the side of evolution and in my own conclusion, it got verified as just theory, and Bible and God is the only Truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

YesolChoi\u00a0 \u201cI had heard of and studied creation science since years ago, but this trip had been especially different for me in its focus on the truth of Genesis.\u00a0 I had always put the story of Genesis aside as something outside of human understanding that God had no plans of revealing the truth to us.\u00a0 However, the trip showed me that God did not hide anything from us and science was a method he had allowed us to see more of Him.\u00a0 Genesis comes to me as real.\u00a0 Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chang Hyun Lee\u00a0 \u201cI believe God is the Creator.\u00a0 He is the ultimate cause of the Universe.\u00a0 There is no existing technology that can perfectly replicate the simple motion of fish.\u00a0 The more I study science and engineering, I have to come to the conclusion that our knowledge about the world is so limited.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad the Scripture tells us the truth that it is the final destination of science.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindsey Song\u00a0 \u201cComing on this trip for the second time was truly a blessing.\u00a0 It opened my eyes to help me realize that God is real and he is great.\u00a0 Last year I had a hard time listening and connecting because all of the other students were a lot older than me and I was very uncomfortable.\u00a0 But this year I came with people I know and was more focused and understood the material and messages better.\u00a0 The time I spent on this trip was an amazing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Da Hee Diane Kim\u00a0 \u201cThis trip was truly a blessing.\u00a0 I learned so many new things.\u00a0 The facts I learned about telling the time from Adam and Eve and to now is similar to what I learned in school.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always known that evolution was wrong, but being continually taught about it makes you question it.\u00a0 This trip has truly been eye opening to learn more about Noah\u2019s Ark and the Flood and how the canyons were carved out.\u00a0 Thank you for the most amazing time.\u201d<\/p>\n

JinuChoe\u00a0 \u201cFirst off, this trip was a blessing in itself.\u00a0 It was great to see all of those wonders that is God\u2019s creation, to learn about them, and to meet some great people.\u00a0 So thank you Onnuri!\u00a0 I have grown up learning about proof of creation from my father, but it was awesome to reinforce some of these proof points.\u00a0 I was one believed that some elements of both evolution and creation theories were true, just like another person said.\u00a0 But I learned it differently on this trip that God\u2019s Words from the Bible (Genesis) must be true, so it makes me want to read parts of the Bible again from a scientific viewpoint.\u00a0 This trip gave me much more to ponder.\u00a0 Thanks!\u201d<\/p>\n

David Park\u00a0 \u201cI have learned a lot about the truths of creationism, while learning also about the fallacies that exist within the concept of evolution.\u00a0 I can say with confidence that this trip really strengthened my faith as a Christian.\u00a0 I would like to thank Dr. Kim for going through all the hard work into finding evidence of creationism.\u00a0 Through Dr. Kim, I have learned the true purpose to life; the purpose of serving God.\u00a0 Again, this was a great experience for me, and I hope to learn more about the truths of creationism in the future.\u00a0 Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

JihoonSong\u00a0 \u201cI have only just begun reconnecting with the church after a period of time away and then I was sent on this creation science tour.\u00a0 I did not know what to expect except that I\u2019d be repeated the same things I\u2019ve heard my entire life.\u00a0 I was wrong.\u00a0 Although at times it seemed as if I was being forced to see things a certain way, the evidence was always there to back them up.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always looked for concrete proof even though my faith should have been enough.\u00a0 To be honest, I\u2019ve heard several variations of these creation speeches, but this firsthand experience was truly something else.\u00a0 Now I\u2019d like to expand my knowledge on creationism on my own and work to further build up my fragile faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josh Kim\u00a0 \u201cI loved coming on this trip.\u00a0 The food was amazing and the sights we saw took my breath away.\u00a0 Personally, I needed this trip because I am a logic oriented, truth seeking guy and I have remained skeptical of any prevailing beliefs for a time.\u00a0 Actually seeing the proof and learning the scientific reasoning behind this hard evidence immediately unveiled my eyes and hear from the truth that I remained blind from the truth that God is creator and our only loving and faithful God.\u00a0 This experience has made me yearn to seek God more in my daily life because he is all the more real to me.\u00a0 In addition, I am armed with evidence and proof when I need to stand my ground against the skeptics I really once was.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
