1) Ask questions rather than make many statements challenging what
evolutionary based science is saying.

​

2) Some examples might be in biology, using the examples of biomimetics -
copying nature with a view to using it in engineering. So the question
might be concerning the first successful aircraft made by the Wright
brothers. The wings were made by copying and learning from the flight of
birds. The question might be “do you think that bird’s wings came via a
random process of trial and error?” Another example might be the gecko
foot which has inspired robots climbing walls. Tiny little hairs break
into even smaller ones on the gecko (these even interfere with the Van Der
Waal forces at the molecular scale!) enabling the gecko to hang upside
down. The question might be “did the gecko go through a random process of
trial and error in it’s evolutionary development?” If we make designs
copying nature, does that not suggest that nature is designed?

3) Sharing Biblical Creation I think requires the one we are speaking to,
to begin themselves to ask questions of us. This is why I would start by
engaging with them by asking pertinent questions about what they think.
Eventually as they get to know you, they might ask what you think. Then
you may be able to share about your personal conviction that the Bible is
true, and lead on to the Gospel. I would be slow to go straight into
speaking of a young earth unless they raise it. If you have their
interest, I would go in on design based on Rom 1:20.

 

4) I would go to a neutral place to speak with them - not necessarily in
their lab or in their office. I would if possible have them round to your
home and have them to a meal and then in a relaxed atmosphere ask them
about their research and begin to enquire what they think. We need to be
“wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”. Most people will appreciate
being asked to a meal at your home!
 

5) My aim would always to build a relationship first rather than
immediately confronting the evolutionary assumptions - these are deeply
embedded in secular science and it takes a lot for people to begin to see
that they have these presuppositions.
