Josh Timonen’s testimony is so different from mine, which is why it was so interesting. His focus is entirely on proving the historical Jesus. It shows how a man who spent much of his life rejecting the idea of God became a faithful follower of Christ. Hear Josh’s story of how hearing the message of Jesus and the historical facts that back it up brought him into the family of God. Today, he works to help others come to know Jesus, just as he did.

My problem with believing in the Bible and the gospel was evolution. I studied science at Sydney University in Australia, which taught evolution as fact. I was 45 and General Manager at Abbott Laboratories when I attended a Creation Ministries International (http://www.creation.com) conference. I only went because Professor John Rendell Short, the Professor of Paediatrics at Brisbane University, was Chairman of CMI and on the program. I knew the man as he was evaluating a product for Abbott Laboratories’ Paediatric Division. Ross Laboratories and he was brilliant. At the conference, they showed a video by Dr Dean Kenyon, who was Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University. He had written two evolutionary biochemistry textbooks, but now he was saying that the discovery of DNA and the electron microscope rang the death knell of evolution. DNA is complex information that controls all the functions of each cell and the organism. The electron microscope reveals complex machinery and transport devices in cells that are regulated by the information on the DNA. Information is not matter or energy, and its source is intelligence. Moreover, there is no way this complexity could have evolved; it had to be correct and in place. I came away from the conference so annoyed with myself and the educational establishment that teaches evolution and millions of years.
