2009 is of course a significant milestone. It marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.
The evolutionary establishment is celebrating with Darwin-themed events throughout the year and the media are actively promoting the anniversaries too.
Positive vision
Perhaps it seems an odd moment to say it, but there has never been a better time to be a creationist! I say this because a new style of creationism is emerging today which offers a fresh and exciting challenge to conventional thinking about origins. For too long, creationism has been synonymous with anti-evolutionism. But creationism is maturing and, as it does, is moving away from the merely negative to develop a positive vision of its own. In fact, I have made this the central theme of my new book, The New Creationism: Building Scientific Theories on a Biblical Foundation.1
