Abstract
Even as skepticism spreads around the globe, the creation movement is flourishing. Meet some of the new generation of creation scientists. What do you want to be when you grow up? Most children will say a doctor, police officer, teacher, or even a firefighter. But a scientist? Some extraordinary children dream of the day when they could find a cure for cancer, dig up new fossils, or collect and study exotic insects. An even smaller number of children say, "I want to be a creation scientist." It takes a special combination of circumstances to spark that response, but thankfully the Lord is still calling youngsters to pursue science to honor the Creator. It's often not easy. Many of these budding scientists must keep their beliefs about origins a secret if they want to work at secular universities and labs. It is possible to do fantastic research in present-day observational science, such as studying cancer, without ever broaching the subject of origins. But if you want to help build a creation model and show problems with the evolutionary models, that's a different story. Yet God opens doors for these special researchers, too, to pursue their passion. God raised up science experts in past generations who stood against the evolutionary tide and proclaimed the right foundation for understanding our world, and he continues to do so.
