Dr. John Lennox
From Coach Gibbs:
“OK. Every public school in America and most higher education institutions teach young people today that evolution is the only rational explanation of how men are created. Yet a majority of the population doesn’t believe evolution is the right answer. To tackle this subject I wanted a scientist with impeccable credentials. With three doctorates in mathematics—a PhD from Cambridge, a DSc from Wales and a DPhil from Oxford—it seems to me that John Lennox fits the build. Maybe you’ve seen him debate the creation question with Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens. With his mild Irish brogue and gentle manners, John is as gracious as he is brilliant. Did I mention that in his free time he studies languages as a hobby?”
