Dr. Charles Jackson has four degrees in science and education and taught secondary school sciences 11 years, then college biology and chemistry 6 years, and then teacher education classes 6. In 2003, Dr. Jackson founded Points of Origins and began teaching, speaking, and debating in creation science education. Keenly interested in liberating Christian students from the delusion that their faith has been refuted by modern science, Dr. J crusades against evolutionary dogma on college campuses across the United States. He has presented creation science instruction in churches, to both secular and Christian high school and college faculties, to student assemblies from elementary through high school, and to Christian groups on many college campuses.

How Museums Present Bird Evolution from Dinosaurs

Evolution has to explain all of life somehow, as if it made itself. So, where did birds come from? If you don’t want to believe God made birds, the only option is that something else turned into a bird. So, you look around and say, well what kind of stands on two legs and runs […] More
