For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr. James Tour, you need to start reading about him! He's a leading scientist that has brought powerful origin of life challenges to those who claim they know or can prove how life could have begun on earth independent of a Creator - and they all have failed to meet his challenge! He's also a widely respected, leading researcher into practical uses of nanotechnology. But most importantly, Dr. Tour is Christian of deep knowledge and understanding. But he began life as a secular, unbelieving Jew whose family practiced no faith at all. WHY was he suddenly drawn to Jesus? What amazing experience brought him to faith? See his story here: Dr. Tour's amazing journey to Christ!
