Below are 5 resources which will show the difference between thoughtful and effective Christian evangelism and thoughtless and ineffective atheism evangelism:
1. Thoughtful and effective Christian evangelism vs. inept atheism evangelism
2. Christian internet evangelism ministry reached over 150 million people in 2011
3. Internet atheism and internet Darwinism are shrinking
4. Internet Christianity is vibrant and growing. Internet Darwinism is in decline in 2013
5. Why is Christianity true and evolution and atheism false?

5 things Darwinists fear and why they fear them
What are the 5 things that Darwinists most fear and why do they fear them?
How can the many weaknesses of Darwinism and the vulnerabilities of Darwinist strategies and tactics be be exploited?
"To be certain to take what you attack, attack where the enemy cannot defend." - Sun Tzu
Developing an integrated system and plan for attacking evolutionary belief requires examining the Darwinist opposition to determine their greatest vulnerabilities.
The five things Darwinists most fear
1. Creationist reaching young people and inoculating them against evolutionary indoctrination.
Darwinists want to reach young people first and have made a concerted effort to get into schools and engage in evolutionary indoctrination. Generally speaking, it is often more difficult to change people's minds once they have formed an opinion due to human stubbornness and pride. Therefore, given the fact that Darwinian ideology is not supported evidence and sound argumentation, it is vital for Darwinist to reach young people first.
This is why the Question Evolution! Campaign must develop quality material for young people. In addition, we are going to work with international, national and locale groups which have Bible clubs in public schools, private schools, churches, etc. In addition, creation clubs in schools would be a great asset to the campaign.
For more information please see: Combating evolutionary indoctrination in schools and reaching more young people with biblical creation
2. American creationism
Darwinists loathe the fact that biblical creationism is prevalent in America which is a very technologically advanced country. This unpleasant fact is in direct opposition to their propaganda that Darwinism is necessary for scientific and technological progress. In addition, it must gall evolutionists that creationism is growing in America as well.
More importantly, evolutionists know that America is a land of immigrants with many ties across the globe and America has spawned worldwide social movements. In addition, America has a high per capita income relative to many countries and American creationists can fund creation evangelism in the United States and abroad.
The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann wrote in his 2010 book Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? concerning America:
3. The growth and spread of international creationism
Darwinists and atheists are very much into control. Freedom of inquiry is toxic to evolutionary belief.
Biblical creationism and the distribution of anti-evolution material has gone global. This very much disturbs evolutionists as Darwinists in a given locale community have little to no control over people in other countries.
Also, no country is an isolate island in the information age. Through global communication and immigration a countries culture and ways of thinking will be influenced to some degree.
Professor Eric Kaufmann declared to a secular audience in a lecture entitled Shall the religious inherent the earth: "The trends that are happening worldwide inevitably in an age of globalization are going to affect us."
For more information please see: Growing the Question Evolution! Campaign internationally and Growth of international creationism
4. Grassroots growth of creationism leading to anti-evolution laws and the end of evolutionary indoctrination in schools. See: End of evolutionary indoctrination in schools and its consequences
5. Evidence that global atheism and agnosticism are shrinking and unsustainable. The inevitable collapse of Darwinism
Evolutionary story telling and secular ideologies often involves fantasy thinking such as slime pulling itself up by its bootstraps, mankind building some utopian future and visions of the inevitability of secular ideology growing and flourishing in the future and creationism slowly fading away.
Of course, things like: world empires failing in history; multiple human ideologies being discarded in history; global atheism and agnosticism shrinking; theologically conservative Christianity/creationism exploding in adherents around the world; creationism growing in the West and secularism not being sustainable in the West due to multiple trends are big elephants in the rooms of evolutionists. See: Negative trends for evolutionism, atheism and agnosticism and the growth of global Christianity/creationism
Eric Kaufmann using a multitude of demographic studies argues in an academic paper entitled Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century the decline of atheism in terms of its global adherents is an established trend that will persist for the foreseeable future and the rate of decline will accelerate.

The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann wrote in his 2010 book Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? concerning America:
High evangelical fertility rates more than compensated for losses to liberal Protestant sects during the twentieth century. In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will begin to tip the balance in the culture wars towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family.For more information please see: Why our Question Evolution! group is initially focusing on America and Canada

Winning the creation vs. evolution war with the help of strong fundraising
Winning battles often requires "getting there firstest with the mostest".
An effective grassroots Question Evolution! Campaign strongly advancing Christianity and biblical creationism via the 15 questions for evolutionists, requires a good supply line via fundraising. It can really help expand the reach of the campaign, fund various initiatives and fund a general operating budget.
Important questions relating to the future of creation evangelism:
1. Does our Question Evolution! Campaign group have members within it who have big Christian internet followings? When does our next volunteer recruiting drive start? How big of a recruiting drive will it be?
2. How will creation evangelism be increased by 400%?
3. From a practical standpoint, fundraising potential is often linked to how much good you can do. Is there more fundraising potential for internet evangelism combined with creation evangelism than for creation museums? If so, how much fundraising potential is available?
4. When is our Question Evolution! Campaign starting our fundraising efforts? Is it around the corner?
Some current fundraising for biblical creationism and intelligent design
1. The Creation Museum inn Kentucky cost approximately $27 million dollars and it was funded through private donations.
2. The Intelligent Design community is smaller than the creationist community. Yet, the Discovery Institute in 2007 reported an operating budget of 4.2 million dollars.
Fundraising potential for internet evangelism combined with creation evangelism
I have read about various ways to do fundraising. There are many ways of fundraising and our group is open to many of them.
Let take a look at one particular way fundraising for Christian evangelism - namely, grant writing.
According to a Christian grant writing expert, at any given time there are about 200-300 Christian grants for evangelism.
As of 2011, one Christian foundation gives $5,000 to $50,000 grants for Christian evangelism and the foundation has approved grants in the million-dollar range as well. There is a lot of potential for fundraising in the Christian evangelism grant writing area. I know of one internet ministry with a decent size staff that received a large grant which funded their entire ministry for several years. And it wasn't even a internet evangelism website.
Previously, I mentioned that 145 million gospel presentations in a year was done by one internet evangelism organization alone. Of those 145 million people, 20 million people responded favorably and said they prayed about becoming a Christian.
So there is much good that can be done through internet evangelism - especially if it is done in an ethical manner and it asks people to make a firm commitment (for example, informs them they need to repent). Please see our post about the potential benefits and efficiency of combing internet evangelism followed up by creation evangelism: Internet evangelism is powerful especially when combined with creationism evangelism
Fundraising and paying the price
The foundation of fundraising in having a worthwhile endeavor to fund and keeping a lid on unnecessary costs in your proposal. People want to see a big bang for buck when it comes to donations. I believe a good case can be made that internet evangelism followed by creation evangelism is more efficient than creation museums in terms of expanding the biblical creationism pie in the world. It explosively increases creation evangelism by 400% or more as indicated in our post 20 million extra people a year hearing biblical creationism
Second, fundraising often requires you to make multiple appeals in multiple ways. There is no silver bullet. But to the pleasantly persistent person or organization, it is very doable. You just need to put some effort into it and be willing to hear the word no sometimes.
Remember this saying when it comes to fundraising: rejection builds character! Your going to hear the word no sometimes. Sometimes it is just a matter of timing plus some people have different visions and priorities. But that is wholly understandable. There are many things which have to be done within the body of Christ and within the world at large.
So when do our fundraising efforts begin? In due time, my evolutionist friend. In due time!

2,000 Question Evolution! tract order and soon an enormous and hungry school of creationist piranha will begin devouring Darwinism
We have only just begun to fight
Evolutionists, the Question Evolution! Campaign is not going away. It has only just started.
"I have not yet begun to fight" - John Paul Jones
"Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak." - Thomas Carlyle
"Continuous, unflagging effort, persistence and determination will win. Let not the man be discouraged who has these." - James Whitcomb Riley
"Energy and persistence conquer all things." - Benjamin Franklin
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge

A mom's perspective of the Question Evolution! Campaign
Moms - we all have one, whether for better of worse -
and, some of us are moms.
That is exactly where the Question evolution! campaign comes in!
What an incredible help to this mom the campaign is...right at my fingertips I have immediate access to all the information I need to gently, but firmly, question evolution and build up my children in the faith, reliability and unshakeable truth that is biblical creationism.
Many people - particularly teachers, students and those connected with education - whether primary, secondary, or college and beyond, need to be educated as to what the truth is. A great way to start is by just questioning evolution.
People may believe in fairies, but they know they are hard pressed for "fairy" evidence...but by believing and trusting in evolution, people are deceived into believing the evidence supports evolution and it does not.
The only blind faith hanging around (other than old record albums bearing the name) is the blind and deluded faith of evolution.....and it is not worth being too shy or too busy to point it out to those you come into contact with.
And moms - I am calling you to be accountable and strengthen your children no matter how young or old they are (yes - adult children too!) as to the unreliability and complete mythology that is evolution.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6
Be strengthened in the Word of God and question evolution!

Starting a Creation Club in Your School
Whether you are in high school or college, how about starting a Creation Club in your school? Sound like a daunting task? At first thought, it may be, however, just as likely, with a little guidance, and a few friends, it might just be the exciting challenge you have been looking for. This article will give you several guideline steps to get you started, and who knows, you just might be better at it than you thought.
1) Pray.
2) Weigh the benefits and costs.
The costs? You may have a few friends who disagree with you, and you will likely have a number of your peers ridicule you for your views. You may find some teachers and professors getting a little bit disagreeable and testy with you, and push you harder in class. These things can be good, if we turn them over to our Father in heaven, and regularly ask Holy Spirit to guide us and help us in these situations. They will cause us to rely upon Holy Spirit to help us mature in Christ Jesus, and build in us the character of an honorable son or daughter of the Living God.
What about the costs if you are moved in your heart to do something and you choose not to? Many adults go through life wondering, “What if...?” Don’t be one of us who had a passion to do something, but did not, for whatever reason (fear, anxiety, fear of failure, fear of success, the unknown path we are about to head down), and then regretted not knowing what good we could have done, if only... There are also the costs of continuing to have evolution go unchallenged, and being force fed the atheistic system of evolution; requiring you to exclude God from the universe He created.
Oh yah, and pray.
3) Recruit.
Seek the support and guidance of parents, youth leaders, and at least one member of the faculty. You may need a faculty member to sponsor or help guide your group through any problem you may have, and help you set up your new Creation Club. A good relationship with one or more faculty members when developing a Creation Club may help you stay informed about situations before they arise, and help you deal with a number of problems or situations you may face; from simple things you may not have thought of, or for other more pressing and serious challenges. Also, a faculty member can help you with your school’s guidelines and policies concerning school organizations. Follow these guidelines and policies (you may need a mission statement and a Constitution) when setting up your new Creation Club.
Remember, parents, other leaders, and faculty were once your age, they have experienced things you have not yet seen, and their wisdom can be invaluable; honor and respect them. You may find that if you develop a culture of honor and a reputation of respectfulness, even those who disagree with you will often be more peaceable, and might even find some ways to help you.
Because you are likely to be using school grounds, a student will have to lead your group, and the faculty members, parents and other non-students might be only permitted to participate, or give presentations. Check with your school’s guidelines and policies.
Also, do not forget to pray.
4) Plan.
Seek the input of a youth leader, or other wise and trusted adult. If you can recruit a faculty member interested in helping you with your club, run your ideas by him/her and listen to his/her advice. Seeing a young adult grow in responsibility and take on a leadership role like this is quite rewarding in the hearts and minds of faculty members, and other adults.
Are you going to invite guest speakers to your meetings? This might be a good way to help promote your new Creation Club, and to help get you grounded and started. Contacting Creation Ministries International to request a speaker may help you on your way.
Do not forget, pray.
5) Observe.
Did I mention, pray...some more?
6) Choose resources.
Creation Ministries International is a good place to start looking for your materials. There is the webpage 15 Questions for Evolutionists - Evolution: the naturalistic origin of life and its diversity, and the “pdf” pamphlet 15 Questions for Evolutionists, with supporting references, that can get you started.
A good book to start with would be The Creation Answers Book, which is available for bulk discounts.
A few good DVD’s to help get things rolling would be The Alternative: Creation’s Competitive Edge, and Arguments Creationists Should NOT Use. An inexpensive 3-DVD pack that is worth consideration for getting started is The Case for Creation. There is also a Core Issues 8-DVD Pack that would be a good start. You may also want to consider watching online videos and video series such as Genesis Unleashed, or Creation Magazine Live.
Also, do not forget to pray.
7) Know your rights.
Praying for wisdom here, would be a very good idea.
8) Consult school officials.
Since you have already planned your new Creation Club according to your school’s guidelines and policies, obtained from the faculty member(s) you have recruited, it is now time to discuss your plans with your school’s principal, or dean. Present what you have so far, and be very receptive to any guidance provided. Be respectful, honorable, and confident, but do NOT be combative. Your tone should be “when and where can we do this?” not “we ARE going to do this or else!” Remember, you are not really asking, “may we do this?” because laws clearly say that you can; you are simply, politely, and respectfully asking, “Where and when can we meet?” If you run into resistance, speak with the faculty member(s) you recruited, parents and youth leaders. They will have the wisdom to help you deal with any undue resistance.
By the way, praying about this exciting new endeavor should be a daily and heartfelt habit by now.
9) Finances.
Advertising pamphlets, fliers, etc., cost money; as well as the resource materials you are planning on using at your meetings. Various fund raisers (e.g., car washes, candy sales, etc.) can be good sources of funding and fun.
P...R...A...Y...
10) Advertise and promote.
Check with your school’s guidelines and policies to find out what clubs and organizations are allowed to use and what they are not. Expect to use the same resources and avenues as every other club on your campus. Be respectful and seek the counsel of your faculty recruits if you run into problems.
Having some simple refreshments (juice, donuts, pop, cookies, pizza, etc.) can go a long way to encouraging people (particularly those not quite sure about committing) to return, or at least tell their friends what a good time they had.
Need I say it again? Pray...more.
11) Meet.
Conduct your meetings with a culture of honor and respect. This will go farther than you may realize.
If someone comes who has decided to be disagreeable, be honorable, polite and respectful. Make sure they understand the reasons for your Creation Club (e.g., to learn to question evolution, and study the science of our origins and creation, including how it tends to agree quite well with God’s account in the Bible). If necessary, politely ask them to leave; or get help from your faculty sponsor (follow your school’s guidelines and policies).
Then, thank God for helping you get started, and pray for continued success and help being a light for others. Do not pray for anyone to be forced to agree, but pray that our Father will lovingly open the eyes and ears of their understanding to His Truth. After all, their eternal future is what is at stake, not their immediate agreement.
12) Be patient and faithful.
It may take a while for you to grow a good sized club membership. Take your time, learn, and enjoy each meeting, and the preparations for each meeting. When we are faithful, we are planting seeds which will bear fruit in their own time. Patience is not the ability to wait; patience is the good attitude and loving heart with which we wait while we are being faithful in what God has laid upon our heart to do. Our responsibility is patient, faithful obedience; God’s responsibility is to see to the rest of it.
...and pray
13) Continue in prayer
Have fun, be blessed, and know that there are people, including myself, praying for you.

Internet Creation Evangelism – A Golden Opportunity
Building upon the foundation of the authority of the Word of God, with emphasis on the awesome work of creation, and sharing knowledge of this is Creation Evangelism. Actively sharing our faith in God, and teaching others of the reliability of the Word of God, along with the scientific confirmation of God’s Word helps strengthen others in their faith, and removes the obstacles placed in people’s ways by the bankrupt idea of evolution.
One of the exciting ways of participating in Creation Evangelism is by using the tool of the Internet. Internet Creation Evangelism is a golden opportunity for those who enjoy writing or producing short videos (YouTube) and have a heartfelt desire to share and spread the truth of God. Internet Creation Evangelism instantly creates the potential to reach thousands, possibly millions with the gospel, and the truth of God’s creation: all this in the convenience of your own home, on your own computer. Don’t have a computer? Then you can go to your local public library and use theirs. Do not forget, with the newer smart phones, iPhones, iPads, etc., accessing the Internet and spreading the Gospel through Creation Evangelism on the Internet is becoming continuously easier and providing an ever larger audience.
The Internet, in and of itself, is neither good nor evil, but is a tool. Those who learn how to utilize the tool of the Internet will be able to spread their message, not only to their neighbor, but to the vast majority of the world.
Do you have a desire to help spread the Gospel? Do you hear the call to spread the Gospel to the world, but do not know how? Pray, seek God, maybe He will lead you to use the tool of Internet Creation Evangelism to spread His glorious Word.

How did life originate?
“Evolutionist Professor Paul Davies admitted, “Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell.”[1] Andrew Knoll, professor of biology, Harvard, said, “we don’t really know how life originated on this planet”.[2] A minimal cell needs several hundred proteins. Even if every atom in the universe were an experiment with all the correct amino acids present for every possible molecular vibration in the supposed evolutionary age of the universe, not even one average-sized functional protein would form. So how did life with hundreds of proteins originate just by chemistry without intelligent design?”[3]
Our public schools at all levels are teaching our children that evolution is science. It is a known scientific fact that life only comes from life, yet, evolutionists claim abiogenesis occurred at least one time. No scientist, evolutionist or not, has ever witnessed abiogenesis. The two evolutionist scientists cited above make their own admissions of the total lack of knowledge about how life came to be, according to evolutionists.
Professor Paul Davies admitted, “Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell.”[1]
If “nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell”, then how can evolutionists claim it was by abiogenesis? This admission tells us that nobody knows, therefore, claiming abiogenesis even though “nobody knows” is unscientific.
Professor Andrew Knoll, when asked, “In a nutshell, what is the process? How does life form?” answered, “The short answer is we don't really know how life originated on this planet.”[2]
Then, Professor Knoll attempts to obfuscate his admission.
If leading evolutionist scientists do not know how life originated on this planet, then why does the NCSE (National Council for Science Education) insist teaching life evolved from non-living chemicals is science?
Evolutionists, please, show me where any non-living chemicals are evolving into a living cell. Please, show me any experiment where non-living chemicals are put together and become an actual living cell. Even easier, just show me how all the proteins necessary came together, from non-living chemicals, without interference from an intelligent being (scientist or other such person) in or out of a lab.
If you cannot, then stop claiming non-living chemicals evolved into a living cell, then eventually evolved into the life we see around us today. Moreover, stop trying to force everyone else to accept it as fact.
Since we always, without exception witness life coming from already existing life, where did the first life come from? We have eyewitness testimony, but His Word is not permissible, according to the evolutionists.

Creation Evangelism and the Question Evolution! Campaign
Creation evangelism and the Question Evolution! Campaign. What a pair! Like the two sharp edges of a skillfully crafted sword.
Creation evangelism is the proclaiming of the truth of the Word of God, and inspiring others to stand upon the absolute authority of the Word of Almighty God from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. There are many good ministries which teach not only that the Word of God accurately records the history of creation from the very beginning, but also teach the scientific integrity of the biblical record.
Among these wonderful ministries is Creation Ministries International. You can visit the Creation Ministries International web site to read numerous articles, see video clips or purchase books and DVD’s to help educate yourself about the scientific evidence for biblical creation and the authority of the Bible, and explaining the reasons for faith in God.
According to the web traffic company Quantcast, very recently Creation Ministries International web site, www.creation.com has recently had as many as 100,000 unique visitors during a one-month period. Also of note is that Quantcast shows that www.creation.com has a high index of College Graduates and Post Graduates compared to the Internet average. Quantcast also shows Creation Ministries International has an approximate average of 103,000 monthly visits, with an average 72,500 unique people visiting from the United States each month.
Couple this with the growing grassroots Question Evolution! Campaign helping encourage and educate people in questioning evolution starting with these 15 Questions for Evolutionists.
Let’s look at the potential we have here.
According to the Pew Forum’s U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, Religious Beliefs and Practices: Diverse and Politically Relevant, June, 2008, “Nearly one-in-four adults (23%) in the U.S. who are affiliated with a particular religion share their faith with others at least once a week.” (pg. 51)
Think about this for a moment. 23% of people who identify with a particular religion (regardless of that religion) share their faith with others at least once a week. How would that look if the same percentage of the 72,500 unique monthly United States visitors shared their belief, and scientific evidence, encouraging people they meet to question evolution?
This would give us 16,675 people showing someone else how to question evolution every week! How awesome would that be? To continue, what would it be like if 23% of these unique visitors were willing to participate as volunteers (writing, organizing, and setting up local groups teaching others to question evolution)? This would mean that there would be 3,385 volunteers not only encouraging others to question evolution, but actually helping organize and educate others to even better question evolution!
How much would such a campaign help strengthen those of the Christian faith and encourage all others to pursue the truth? If more people understood how to question evolution, more people would be encouraged to actually think about what they are being taught. When people start questioning what they are being taught, and start demanding the truth about what they are being taught, it will send shockwaves throughout academia and society.
When we, as a united front, question evolution, and teach others to do so, evolution will be exposed as the lie it is: created solely to separate people from the God who lovingly created them. People will begin to see that true science, scrutinized under true scientific rigor actually supports the truth of the Word of God. As people begin to understand this, they will see that there is a God who loves them, who will tell them the truth even when some may not want them to understand.
I am part of this campaign as a Christian writer. I post at Examiner.com and YAHOO! Contributor Network (Associated Content), and the Question Evolution! Campaign Blog. It would be easy for me to avoid the controversy this brings, but telling the truth is important; and telling the truth in love changes lives. We are put on this earth to glorify God and help others come to a loving relationship with Him. People need us to lovingly tell them the truth, and to encourage them to question everything in pursuit of the truth. Questioning evolution in today’s world will help people discover truth.
Final and important note
Creation Ministries International is developing new methods and new tools to share the campaign and more ways and tools keep coming out. Our Question Evolution! Campaign is doing likewise. In December and January, our group which recently has seen some significant growth, is going on a Question Evolution Campaign volunteer drive using some of our new methods and tools.
