Secular Belgium is crumbling. A golden age of Belgium creationism is dawning. Also, North American creationism will continue to expand

The April 2013 edition of the International Bulletin of Missionary Research declares concerning Belgium:

The number of Protestant churches has grown significantly over the last several decades, almost doubling since 1980. In addition, some of the largest Protestant churches in Belgium today were started after 1980. Church membership statistics are more difficult to establish. In 1980, on the basis of school registration statistics and church membership rolls from 190 churches, historian Emile Braekman estimated the number of Protestants in Belgium to be between 90,000 and 100,000. By 2010, the number of Protestants in Belgium was estimated at 150,000, with the largest population percentage (6%) in Brussels.

In 2012, even without the independent churches, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches made up 35 percent of all Protestant churches in Belgium. The growth rate of these churches between 1980 and 2012 was approximately 7.8 new churches per year, a stronger rate of growth than that of even the golden years of church planting among the non-Pentecostal denominations before the Second World War, which was 3.3 churches per year. If the current growth continues, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches will represent half of all Protestants in Belgium within the next fifteen or twenty years.

The growth of immigrant churches, especially in Brussels and other major urban areas, is strongly linked to the growth of Pentecostalism, but immigrants are not the only reason behind the increase. Many Belgians themselves have been drawn to Pentecostalism, even within immigrant-led Pentecostal churches. Pentecostalism has become, as Allan Anderson demonstrates in his 2004 monograph, a global faith, with a dynamism that seems destined to leave its mark on post-Catholic secular Belgium.

European Darwinism is doomed! It's all over with the Darwinism fraudster fireworks kids. A time of real science is on its way! See: European creationism is expanding and Global creationism is expanding. Global atheism/agnosticism is shrinking

Is fraudster too harsh a word for Darwinists? Consider this piece of information I just read today: "The prominent Harvard evolutionary biologist Marc Hauser resigned in 2011 during an investigation by the Office of Research Integrity at the Department of Health and Human Services that would end up determining that some of his papers contained fabricated data." Will high profile Darwinists be exposed in 2013? One thing for sure, 2013 will be the WORST year in the history of Darwinism. See: 2013

Expect the growth of American biblical creation belief to continue to grow and to blossom in North America
