A fascinating new book by Stuart Burgess ......   Professor Stuart Burgess BSc (Eng), PhD, CEng, FIMechE has taught engineering design at Cambridge University and Bristol University in the UK. He has received several national awards for engineering design including the Turner’s Gold Medal and the 2019 James Clayton Prize and has published over 200 scientific articles on design and engineering and nature. Professor Burgess has experience of designing spacecraft for the European Space Agency and designing Olympic bikes for Team GB. He has lectured in many countries across six continents. Professor Burgess' new book `Ultimate Engineering' is now available from the Answers in Genesis online store. This wonderful paperback book can be purchased for £17.00 and is ideal for giving as a gift or keeping in your own book collection. Who first invented fibre optic cables? Or camera shutters? Or truss structures? Or double wishbone suspensions? Or block-style Roman arches? What about laser beams? As award-winning British engineer and designer Stuart Burgess reveals, the original inventor of these and countless other ingenious devices was no human inventor. Instead, the “first to market” was the designing force behind the living world. Evolutionary theory predicts a living world crowded with substandard designs. But as Burgess shows in Ultimate Engineering, the latest science has discovered just the opposite—designs so advanced they are at the limit of the possible, precisely as proponents of biblical creation anticipated. As Burgess also details, he and other researchers are taking the discovery of these advanced designs and using them to inspire fresh technological breakthroughs—a revolution known as biomimetics.

Strength and Courage.

ADF UK.

Dear All.,

Standing for what is right can sometimes feel lonely. Yet, this season leading up to Easter reminds us of a deeper truth: we are never alone.   In Deuteronomy 31:6, we are encouraged by these words: “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” This promise reminds us that even in moments when standing for truth feels isolating, God is present. He strengthens those who remain faithful and surrounds them with a community that stands alongside them.  This week, our advocate, Jeremiah, reflects on this passage in prayer and shares the story of our client, Pastor Dia Moodley. Pastor Dia has faced repeated censorship and discrimination from UK authorities for publicly sharing his faith on the streets of Bristol, England.  In November of last year, he was arrested by police on suspicion of “inciting religious hatred,” even though he had merely publicly shared his Christian views. This is the second time police have arrested him for his street preaching.   Pastor Dia was held in a police cell for eight hours before being released on bail conditions banning him from entering and preaching in the city over the Christmas period.   The bail conditions were dropped after he made representations to the police. Still, two police officers later visited his home in January, questioned him further on the November incident and invited him to a voluntary interview under caution.   He is now waiting to hear whether he will be criminally charged for his peaceful speech.   But Pastor Dia is not alone. ADF International is standing with him, providing support as he considers legal action against the police for violating his free speech rights.  Please keep Pastor Dia and the work of ADF International in your prayers.   And if you can, please consider supporting us with a gift. Your generosity enables us to defend people like Pastor Dia and advocate for fundamental freedoms around the world.    Our work would not be possible without your prayers and support. You are an integral part of our mission.

Now you see me... Ariana* is a Christian refugee in Central Asia. One morning she got a call from her brother, back in Afghanistan. He had discovered her secret faith, and gave her an ultimatum: return to Islam, or he'd kill her. Like millions of Christian women around the world, Ariana is persecuted for her faith and vulnerable because of her gender. Women like Ariana risk being erased from society, from the workplace and even from the world. Hear her story and help her see change. Meet Ariana
