I would still be a creationist

 

“Kurt Wise, with a B.A. in geophysics from the University of Chicago, a Ph.D . in geology from Harvard, where he studied under Steven Jay Gould, and a professorship at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee, writes of his personal conflict between science and religion.

I had to make a decision between evolution and Scripture. Either the Scripture was true and evolution was wrong or evolution was true and I must toss out the Bible. . . . It was there that night that I accepted the Word of God and rejected all that would ever counter it, including evolution. With that, in great sorrow, I tossed into the fire all my dreams and hopes in science. . . . If all the evidence in the universe turns against creationism, I would be the first to admit it, but I would still be a creationist because that is what the Word of God seems to indicate.”
