Overview

What is the origin of the world and of life itself?

Did a series of accidents and evolution bring about the world as we know it?

Or is there a design and purpose behind it all?

And if there is a design, is there an ultimate designer?

A number of years ago, John Clayton, a second-generation atheist and respected scientist and teacher, set out to disprove the Bible from a scientific point of view. Instead, his six-year study brought him to a profound faith in the God of the Bible.

Now, in this highly informative and easy to understand book, John Clayton and Nils Jansma β€” a geotechnical engineer and geologist β€” present convincing evidence that the Bible and the facts of science agree. As the public moves away from a belief in God as Creator of our heaven and earth, it becomes imperative that all believers be well informed on this vital subject. This book will become a resource you will use again and again.

About the Author, John Clayton, Nils Jasma

John Clayton, a scientist and former second-generation atheist, came to believe in God while attempting to prove that the Bible contradicts known scientific facts. Instead of disproving the Bible, he found it to be absolutely reliable. An award-winning science teacher, Clayton has earned national prominence for his knowledge and skill in dealing with matters of faith and science. Today, Clayton travels the United States, sharing his message to university and church audiences.

Editorials


In The Source, John Clayton (with the assistance of Nils Jansma, a geotechnical engineer and geologist) presents an informative, "reader friendly" and science-based argument for the existence of God and Bible traditions of creation. Written in a straight-forward text that is ideal for the non-specialist general reader, perhaps the most telling point is that when John Clayton, a second-generation atheist, credentialed scientist, and experienced educator, set out to disprove the Bible from a scientific perspective, he ended his six-year study with a profound faith in the God of the Bible and the determination to share his findings and insights with others through the pages of The Source.
