I have some important news to share with you that I believe is one of the most important news since Henry Madison Morris wrote the Genesis Flood in 1961 and launched the modern biblical creationist movement.
The United States is the strongest stronghold of biblical creation belief in the world per capita and in 2012 the Gallup organization reported a significant increase in biblical creation belief. And lately, biblical creation belief has become a worldwidephenomenonto a much greater degree and this has occurred in Asia, Africa, Latin America and it is even spreading in Europe through immigrants.
The devil and the Darwinists are not taking this lying down. Evolutionists are about to attempt to finalize new national science standards in the United States which would start indoctrinating children into evolutionary and old earth concepts starting in kindergarten and continuing until 12th grade. These K-12 national science standards have already been adopted my 26 states of the 50 states in America and they are looking to expand them into the remaining states.
Why is this happening?
If you are a Christian you might ask yourself why this was happening. I would remind you of the persecution of the early church and present day Christians outside the Western World. Christians have never been immune from facing opposition. And if we allow God to use us and rely on his wisdom and strength, we can be more than conquerors.
Winston Churchill talked about the Allies facing the "whole fury and might of the enemy" which was inspired by "perverted science" and how the Allies resisting their enemies onslaught could be their "finest hour". And there is no doubt the Nazis German master race ideas were largely inspired by the perverted pseudoscience of Darwinism. I think God is calling Bible believing creationists to their finest hour. The Darwinists are not going to go down without a fight and are going to try to step up their efforts. We have to oppose them and step up our efforts.
Our response to the recent stepped up efforts of evolutionists
Accordingly, God willing, this is what our Question Evolution! Campaign group would like to do through volunteers over the next two years:
There will be no "Great creationist evangelist" who is going to do all the work so we will all have to pitch in and work together. This will include both internet and local efforts.
Wikipedia has an article entitled Protestantism in the Ukraine which declares:
Protestants in Ukraine number about 600 to 700 thousand (2007), about 2% of the total population. Nearly all traditional Protestant denominations are represented in the country. According to Christianity Today magazine, Ukraine has become not just the "Bible Belt" of Eastern Europe, but a "hub of evangelical church life, education, and missions". At present, the country is a key supplier of missionaries and center of evangelical training and press printing for all the countries of former Soviet Union, where legal environment is not so favourable.
Thanks evolutionists! Question Evolution! Campaign supporters are contacting Protestant Ukranian churches in North America who have contacts overseas. In addition, we can contact Ukraine missionary organizations.
2. Are Question Evolution! Campaign activists taking steps to reach more young people? These are very important questions since crushing Darwinism will require reaching more young people (see our blog post Inoculating young people against Darwinism).
Consider this information from the web traffic tracking company Quantcast concerning the web traffic Creation Ministries International's website Creation.com:
Is the outreach to young people progressing?
As you can see Creation Ministries International's website traffic percentage wise is very favorable among the 18-24 age group.
We believe this is due in part to our Question Evolution! Campaign group's recent outreach to young people. In addition, our Question Evolution! Campaign group is presently working on making outreach to young people even better.
In 2012 it was reported there are 800 less atheists each day in the world
In 2012, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS) reported that every day there are 800 less atheists per day, 1,100 less non-religious (agnostic) people per day and 83,000 more people professing to be Christians per day (see: Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary - status of Global Mission report).
Global market share declining and atheistic societies and birth rates
In 2009, the book A sceptics guide to atheism indicated: "A worldwide poll taken in 1991 put the global figure for atheists at just 4.4% of the population. By 2006 it was estimated that only 2% of the world population were atheists."
Michael Blume, a researcher at the University of Jena in Germany, wrote "Most societies or communities that have espoused atheistic beliefs have not survived more than a century." Blume also indicated concerning concerning his research on this matter: "What I found was the complete lack of a single case of a secular population, community or movement that would just manage to retain replacement level."
Investigator Magazine had an interesting article published in 1990 entitled 2,000 years of Christian Increase which indicated that historically the percentage of the world population professing Christianity has been increasing.
2020 a key year for American Christians, creationists, pro-lifers and the world
Our Question Evolution!Campaign group wants to promote the 15 questions for evolutionists for the long term as we want to pave the way for some very significant things we see happening in 2020 and beyond which are expected to be very positive and significant developments for Bible believing Christians, pro-lifers and religious conservatives.
Consider this key information relating to the United States:
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.
Of course, we expect the above tipping point in America to positively affect the proliferation of biblical creationism as well - especially with the aid of the Question Evolution! Campaign.
More recently, conservative American Protestants have increased from a 40 per cent minority of white Protestants born in 1900 to a two-thirds majority among those born in 1975. The slight fertility advantage of conservative over liberal Protestants accounts for three-quarters of the rise.
Conservative churches are growing and liberal ones declining because of a differential in the fertility rates of each group. This demographic fact accounts for 80% of the “shifting fortunes of liberal and conservative Protestant churches” according to Chaves. Apparently women in conservative denominations have borne an average of one more child than women in more liberal or moderate denominations. Over several generations this difference becomes apparent and dramatic.
In 2011, the Oxford University journal Sociology of Religionpublished an article by Eric Kaufmann, Anne Goujon and Vegard Skirbekk entitled The End of Secularization in Europe?: A Socio-Demographic Perspective which declared:
“Silent” demographic effects can be profound in the long term. For example, Rodney Stark shows how early Christians’ favorable fertility and mortality rates when compared with Hellenistic pagans may have helped fuel a 40 percent growth rate in the Christian population of the Roman Empire over several centuries. This helped give rise to a population increase from 40 converts in 30 AD to 6 million by the year 300 leading to a “tipping point” which helped Christianity become institutionalized within the Empire (Stark 1996).
In addition, Eric Kaufmann using a multitude of demographic studies argues in an academic paper entitled Shall the Religious 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. In the Western World, due to immigration and the higher birth rates of religious people, Kaufman writes: "Committed religious populations are growing in the West, and will reverse the march of secularism before 2050."

Kaufmann told a secular audience in Australia: "The trends that are happening worldwide inevitably in an age of globalization are going to affect us."
Also, for those who are interested in knowing more about Professor Eric Kaufmann's work on this matter, he also published a book titled Shall the religious inherit the earth
There has never been a better time than 2012 to attack Darwinism via a grassroots campaign
As you can see, there are some powerful demographic forces lining up which are unfavorable to Darwinism in the United States and in the world. And as you can see young Christians raised in the faith are going to play an important part. Our group wants to lay the groundwork for a crushing defeat of Darwinism. That is why we are committed to helping make 2012 be the worst year in the history of Darwinism. And anyone who has read Creation Ministries International's website information on human life and abortion knows that creationists are definitely allies to the pro-life cause so this will be very helpful to the pro-life cause as well.
Never before has there been a worldwide grassroots campaign to attack Darwinism which has focused on a series of key and very powerful questions for Darwinists. I firmly believe that a grassroots approach is key to defeating Darwinism and the group of Christians that is willing to strongly advance an anti-evolution grassroots campaign will have a devastating impact on Darwinism. Such an approach can create a proliferation of creationist grassroots fires designed to burn down the forest of Darwinism. Evolutionists will be unable to stamp out these fires using their strong arm tactics which were documented in the movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.
