By the end of the 19th century, atheism was gaining strength through Darwinian thought and a belief in a static universe. By the end of the 20th century, it was challenged by two observational discoveries that should be taught to those with the rhetorical skills to present this critical light to an unbelieving world. (Over 80% of those who disbelieve the Bible say science disproves it.) A key scientific practice is to
defer to the best possible explanation for what is observed. Evidence for 1) universal origins and 2) programmed biological informational systems both demand that a Designer/Fine-Tuner/Creator created all life. Gain confidence to teach and equip the next generation with apologetic science.
