Scott grew up in Morgantown, WV and was interested in dinosaurs at a young age. He received a Bible at vacation bible school around the age of 10 and started reading it. He read up to the time of Abraham and saw all the generations from Adam to Abraham. After that he looked at the New Testament and saw all the generations from Adam to Jesus and realized that the “millions of years” didn’t fit. Learning about evolution theory and watching much of Carl Sagan’s cosmos he began to doubt the authenticity of the Bible. At the end of his Freshmen year of college at WVU he entered a period of depression, hopelessness, and thought that life was meaningless and that there was no God and therefore no purpose to life. He rejected the Bible and went down a path of ungodly living. He managed to finish his degree in aerospace engineering and start his engineering career. It wasn’t until he met his wife that he was reintroduced to Jesus Christ and the message of salvation. He eventually put his trust in Christ in the summer of 1996. In the winter of 1999 Scott attended a creation/evolution video seminar at lunch while working at Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis. It changed his life and strengthened his faith. After attending an Answers In Genesis family camp in 2001 Scott was inspired to build a scale model of Noah’s Ark with a friend Mike Bridgewater. Thus began the creation ministry that eventually led to Restoring Genesis Ministries.
Scott and Jeff of Restoring Genesis can be reached through the Contact Form on this site.
Dear Scott or Geoff,
Your video Dinosaurs and the Bible is on NW Creation Network. Could I use your video to give to people freely.
Thanks,
Dean Gibson.

Hello Dean,
Absolutely! Please copy and distribute! God bless you! I can mail you a DVD or you can download the HD version off of youtube. Another option would be to use dropbox and download it there.
Let us know. And check out our latest release. “Footprints in Stone” We will be putting both of those together on one DVD in the near future.
Scott
Congratulations – You are responsible for teaching children facts that are completely baseless and frankly ignorant and childish. In your quest to debunk actual scientific fact you are encouraging children to ignore facts and instead rely on evidence that is flat wrong. You can’t simply ignore the scientific method and instead choose to make things up as you go along and affix the label fact to further your backwards beliefs. I am a Christian. I believe Jesus died for my sins. People like yourselves give those of us Christians with a brain a bad name. Dinosaurs and man never existed at the same time. Equating myths about dragons and other fictional reptiles as proof of your point puts you on the same level as the lunatics who tout the “Ancient Astronaut Theory”. Frankly your viewpoint has as much credibility as those who believe every word they hear on the Ancient Aliens tv show. Is it that hard for you to believe that God created the world and everything in it using actual science? Has it never occurred to you that since God created the universe and the set of rules that govern it, that he would use those rules to fabricate man through the process of evolution? We are not the center of the universe – we are the final product of the grand experiment called creation. Until people like yourselves let go of backwards beliefs that ignore everything we know to be true about the world and instead embrace the science that God created and used to craft the wonders we see around us, the majority of the population will continue to stray from God’s path. I can’t blame them. Insisting that actual scientific fact is not true and using your faith as an excuse to be ignorant is the last thing God would want. Do yourselves a favor and pull yourselves out of the dark ages and join the rest of us in the future. A future where God will continue to revel in his creations ability think, test and understand the world that he has given us. He gifted us with the minds capable of extraordinary feats and I can’t help but wonder how saddened he must be that some of his children are so obtuse.
I’m sorry you feel this way but growing up as an agnostic, and now a solid Christian believer, evolution is completely incompatible with the Bible which is God’s Holy Word, specifically the book of Genesis. Our two documentaries provide enough scientific evidence for me to believe in a literal Genesis and we’re going to continue to share it with as many children and adults as we can. Just as the movie expelled points out, people should be free to look at the evidence and make up their own mind about creation.
Hello. My name is Bennie. I live in South Africa and grew up “living with dinosaurs”. A few years back I got saved and God revealed to me some amazing truths about the blindfold the god of this age used to cover the eyes of the lost.
I saw your documentary and all I can say is: WELL DONE! 🙂 Anyway, you are probably wondering why I’m sending you mail? I’m into art, special effects and film making and I wanted to ask you if I may give your documentary a make-over? I want to start practicing on “George Lucas -style” movie-making and special effects. The music/sound/voice clip of the original documentary will be used and the visuals will be shot and created according to the sound/voice clip’s content. Most or some of the original pictures will be used or replaced with better quality images but used in a few different ways. It will be integrated with bonus material and content from my ministry. It’s for pure educational purposes only and your names, your ministry and the logo of your ministry will be featured in the end credits (obviously)…
All I’m asking is for permission for a go ahead and a permission of use of my logo along side yours.
It could be a collaborated project of two ministries working together to reach the youth.
Christianwithabrain,
My brother in Christ…my opinion is very unbiased, I hope you understand this. I am 22, a young mind, and have grown up with only half involved Christian parents. God saved me, I have a very close and intimate connection with him. I also grew up in a episcalaian and baptist church. Very conservative people around me.
That being said, God has brought me on a path to know him more intimately than anyone in my family, and majority of my friends. I have had two visions from God (not dreams) I have spent 1-2 hours before weeping joyfully as I have felt the fire of the Holy Spirit on my chest. Let me remind you I am from an extremely conservative, this is not crazy talk. I am a skilled tennis player, singer in my church, and have nearly read the whole bible. I don’t sit in my room and do shrooms.
Why do I tell you this. Brother, although we have brains God has given other men brains too, powerful minds. And if you do unbiased, true, calm, large scale, large picture searching and research, you will find terribly sad truths about what the rulers of man and satan have done to your mind.
Fortunately God is in full control of even what satan does, and it will all be for his glory in the end.
I hope you can find the strength to accept some of these things, but if not, certainly hold true to the things that Jesus emphasizes. I am confident that if you truly connect with him and follow him, you will continue to uncover truth in all things.
Also, be aware of how harshly you speak to these brothers who have made the video here and others. They are not Pharisees, we are not trying to offend them. Whether you think they are crazy or not, they are our brothers. If you wish to rebuke them, do it in a private email.
In Christ,
Ronnoc
Actually “ChristianWithABrain” you are confusing fact with “Objective Proof”. Objective proof happens when you have 1. Physical evidence 2. Eyewitness account 3. An accepted Scientific Method.
Objective proof is not the same thing as fact because Objective proof can change Eye witness accounts can be false. Physical evidence maybe pointing at one person when a crime actually was performed by another (happens all the time-opinion) and An accepted Scientific method is just a method that hasn’t been proved wrong yet. The scientific method of carbon dating is accepted but many scientists disput its validity. So this website does not encourage children to ignore facts it only represents the other side of Objective Proof.
I know that person will probably never read this and i may be wasting my time i just wanted to put out there that what is represented here is just as possible as the alternative and just because a flawed often disproved “Scientific method” such as Carbon dating points people to believe the earth is older than it is and that Humans and Dinosaurs never met There is alot more evidence to the contrary. “Eye witness accounts and Physical evidence”

I have just discovered your website. It strikes a chord, as they say. From my own researches I have come to realise that there are many groups claiming to be Christian in these difficult times. My personal view is that we are approaching the ‘end of time’, as referred to by Daniel.
I have often meditated on the subject of a people whom the Lord has chosen. They will be prepared to stand up for Biblical truth, even to forfit their lives in defense of truth. So you people are speaking out for what you perceive as truth, but, most importantly, what is your doctrinal position?
Our doctrinal position is basically Baptist. But we lean toward non-denominational and believe the Bible is the word of God.
