Maybe also ask your elders how many of the millions living in 1925 have never died?
And yes, I am aware your more recent leadership has attempted to … ah … ‘reinterpret’ some of your founder’s more outlandish utterings. However, I’m not the one claiming membership of an organisation that thinks it alone has the power to interpret the Bible and the signs of the times. If I were, I’d be more than a little concerned at how often it’s got those interpretations wrong.

I’m aware that many scientists are not Christians. I’m comfortable with that truth and I seek to show the value of faith in Jesus to them, as with everyone.
