The idea that man slowly evolved from the animal kingdom is incompatible with the testimony of the historical Fall.

— Reinhard Junker (b. 1956), Theologe, Autor und ehem. Geschäftsführer der Studiengemeinschaft Wort und Wissen

Reinhard Junker

Reinhard Junker (* 1956) ist ein deutscher Theologe und Biologe, der von 1986 bis 2021 als Geschäftsführer der evangelikalen Studiengemeinschaft Wort und Wissen im Schwarzwald wirkte. Bekannt wurde er als ein führender Vertreter des deutschsprachigen Kreationismus und Mitautor des Werks „Evolution – ein kritisches Lehrbuch“, mit dem er die biologische Evolutionstheorie zugunsten eines bibeltreuen Schöpfungsverständnisses infrage stellt. Während er im konservativ-evangelikalen Spektrum als apologetische Stimme zur Vereinbarkeit von Naturbeobachtung und Schöpfungsglauben geschätzt wird, bewerten Fachwissenschaftler und Landeskirchen seine Thesen als wissenschaftstheoretisch unhaltbar.

Craig Groeschel

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it but because, by it, I see everything else.
C.S. Lewis

Do you see the moon standing there? It's only half visible, and yet it's round and lovely! So it is with many things that we lightly laugh about, because our eyes cannot see them.
Matthias Claudius

The grip of our faith by which we hold on to the Lord may loosen. But the One in whom we believe holds us with his grip.
Helmut Thielicke

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C.S. Lewis

Now that I am a Christian I do not have moods in which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable.
C.S. Lewis

Faith comes and goes. It rises and falls like the tides of an invisible ocean. If it is presumptuous to think that faith will stay with you forever, it is just as presumptuous to think that unbelief will.
Flannery O'Connor

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.
William Shakespeare
