Ultimate Questions The
Creation Trailer
|
Ultimate
Questions started in the spring of the year 2000, with the aim of
bringing the importance of Biblical Creationism to the attention of the
general public. A purpose built display trailer is used, which contains
resources on a wide range of topics such as, science and the Bible, the
fossil record, the worldwide flood and dinosaurs. There are questions on
the doors of the trailer to provoke people to think about some of the
important issues relating to origins. One door contains more matter of
fact questions such as "Who was Cain's wife?", while the other door
contains questions regarding people's world view, such as "Is there
life after death?" This has proved to be a very useful way to attract
attention and draw people into conversation. The first verse of the Bible
(Genesis 1:1) is also on one door and 2 Corinthians ch5 v17 on the other
door to let people know what we stand for. |

A life size baby
allasaurus was acquired that children could sit on and have a photograph
taken. This photograph was placed on a card containing information about
dinosaurs and a simple gospel message. However, in more recent times the
interest in dinosaurs has faded and the model has been made extinct for
the time being.

A
scale model of Noah's ark (90:1) was built with people to the same scale
standing on the ark model. This has proved to be a very good tool in
gaining the attention of people walking past and helps to develop a
conversation with them. Many people are astonished at the shape and size
of the ark and even where the measurements came from!
Events attended include
agricultural shows, vintage and steam rallies, Bible weeks, pipe band
contests, open air concerts and fun days. The response as expected
has been very mixed ranging from a very few antagonistic people, to some eager
enquirers, to many who are apathetic. There have been many interesting
conversations and contacts made with a diverse range of people with lots
of views on issues about origins. Many of the people stopping with us have
been Christians, but increasingly we are engaging with those who need to
be saved.

What has been accomplished
over the years? Only eternity will reveal. Lots of creation resources
distributed, lots of conversations, lots of people who saw the questions,
but didn't stop to get an answer. Our prayer is that people will get
over the obstacle of evolution and trust in the Creator as Saviour. |
