The famous geologist, Professor Morris, is the president of the Institute
for Creation Research, which is the most prolific organization in the USA,
formed by scientists defending creation. In a speech, Prof. Morris referred
to his faith in God, and his belief that the theory of evolution has been
refuted by science, in the following manner:
As do many noted and qualified scientists, we, as devout believers in
God, believe that God is the Creator. It is God who rules over our lives
and to whom we must turn. We owe our lives to Him and we are
responsible for earning His good pleasure. 149

Arthur Peacocke, whose primary scientific discipline was physical
biochemistry, is director of the Ian Ramsey Centre at Oxford University.
He proclaims his belief in God as such:
God creates and is present to each instant of the time of the cre a t e d
world; God transcends past and present time: God is eternal, in the
sense that there is no time at which he did not exist nor will there be a
future time at which he does not exist. 150

Having completed his postgraduate studies at the University of Texas,
Prof. Winchester served as a professor of biology at the Baylor University,
and was president of the Florida Academy of Science. He maintained that
scientific research fortifies his belief in God:
Today, I am happy to say, after many years of study and work in the
fields of science, my faith in God, rather than being shaken, has become
much stronger and acquired a firmer foundation than here t o f o re .
Science brings about an insight into the majesty and omnipotence of the
Supreme Being which grows stronger with each new discovery. 151
