Reasons to Believe (RTB) exists to spread the Christian gospel by demonstrating that sound reason and scientific research- including the very latest discoveries- consistently support, rather than erode, confidence in the truth of the Bible and faith in the personal, transcendent God revealed in both Scripture and nature. We specifically engage influencers, educators, pastors, and other leaders with our integrative creation model, while we encourage and equip fellow believers to participate with us in our mission. RTB's leadership team affirms the following distinguishing characteristics as ministry core values : 1. A high view of both Scripture and science 2. Apologetics for the sake of evangelism 3. Constructive integration 4. Commitment to application 5. Ongoing development of a testable creation model 6. Readiness to give reasons... (1 Peter 3:15a) 7. ...with gentleness, respect, and a clear conscience (1 Peter 3:15b)
