ICR’s science staff have spent more than 50 years researching scientific evidence that refutes evolutionary philosophy and confirms the Bible’s account of a recent and special creation, and through their work, thousands of lives have been impacted with Christ’s creation truth. But how does one become a "creation scientist?" What leads an individual down that particular vocational path?
Join us as we sit down with Dr. Jeff Tomkins and learn more about his story and what led him to become a creation scientist at ICR.
