About Creation Truth Foundation

In the late 1960's, G. Thomas Sharp, who was at that time already an experienced science educator as well as a pastor of a medium sized Bible church in Alabama, came face to face with staggering domestic problems in the lives of his church members and students.

These problems compelled him to begin a search for causes, answers and solutions to these problems. The process was arduous and heart rending, however, the ultimate formation and ministry of Creation Truth Foundation, Inc., was birthed as the result of this research.

There were several earth-shaking realities that were uncovered in these early formative years—a number of which will be extremely important for the reader to know. Dr. Sharp discovered that something extremely formidable existed deep within the culture that was corrupting everything it touched—and the conservative evangelical community was helpless before its onslaught, for they too were falling as victims.

It was discovered that Bible believing families throughout the United States were suffering the loss of 60% to 70% of their sons and daughters to secular thinking by the time they reached 15 years of age! 

It was further discovered that church going families were experiencing a 40%+ divorce rate! Moreover, it was observed that the Christian father, the vital link in the family who was intended to provide headship, identity and purpose, was vanishing from his God ordained place of leadership. In short, it became obvious that the number one target of this terrible attack was the family, and the family is, of course, the key to everything else in society.

The first task Dr. Sharp had to do was to positively identify the root cause of this attack. The research process extended over a twelve year time frame (1975-1987) that ultimately culminated in the publication of a three volume set of books entitled Science According to Moses.

His research revealed that Darwinian evolutionism has overthrown, in the name of science, the dominance of the Bible (creation in particular) as the foundation of America’s world view. Thus giving apparent "scientific" sanction to a mind-set governed by situational ethics (the many ramifications of this phenomenon is discussed in detail in Dr. Sharp’s above mentioned work). 

Ultimately, however, by 1962-63 this secular world view and life style provided the public platform that made it easy for the secular humanist to separate God from all public life and practice—chief of which was the so-called unconstitutionality of prayer and Bible reading in the public schools of America. This quickly produced unprecedented moral and educational decline throughout our beloved country.

America’s only hope, it was determined, was for the Bible believing public of our land to awaken to the reality of a true Biblical faith. Basic to this renewal is a return to all of realities of Biblical Creation. 

That is, if the God of sacred Scripture is our Creator, then He is our owner and because He is—only He can set the rules and we, His children, must obediently follow them, asking no questions.

Thus the need for a return to our Biblical foundation (Genesis 1-12) in complete faith and practice became overwhelmingly apparent. Accordingly, after much prayer and counseling with several leading pastors in America, many Christian parents, as well as myriad Christian professionals, Creation Truth Foundation, Inc., was birthed August 9, 1989.

In the organizational meeting, it was determined that awakening could only come to America from within the Christian community (II Chronicles 7:14). Therefore the following objectives were drafted as the official mission statement for all operations, activities and projects of Creation Truth Foundation, Inc.

Our Mission

Training Disciples to Trust the Bible's History for its Accuracy, so They will Trust its Promise for Their Destiny.

The mission of any organization, especially a 501(c)(3) organization, as is Creation Truth Foundation Inc., is accomplished through dedicated projects that are specially designed to fulfill its mission statement. CTF, began in 1989 as a not-for-profit corporation in the state of Alabama and moved its corporate distinction to Oklahoma in 1994 after Dr. Sharp, its founder, moved to Oklahoma.

Accordingly, CTF, being the parent organization, has departments (in some cases that function as dba's), whose primary function is to target specific aspects of the mission statement and to provide programs and projects for the fulfillment of their portion of the mission statement. 

It is within this departmental framework that CTF, has been able to categorize and prioritize her programs and projects to best attain the fulfillment of their mission statement.

The West has become Pagan!

It is now a matter of historical record that Western thought and culture has come under the total domination of a “scientific” based mind-set called evolutionary materialism. In his recent book The New Paganism, Dr. Harold Linsell said that, for the most part, American thought and life is no longer influenced by the Hebrew-Christian ethic. 

As a matter of fact, Linsell’s conclusion is that we are now living in a post-Christian era! Moreover, by the mid 1970’s, Dr. W.P. Shaftstall, Arizona superintendent of schools, indicated that public schools in America were already controlled by atheistic thought! Furthermore, it is obvious that a great gulf exists between the teachings of Christ and the modern church, as well as in family life. 

Can it be that the controlling mind-set in the vast majority of professing Christian families and churches is paganistic rather than Biblical? The answer to this question is obvious! But how can this be, especially since we “pray” to the same God and “read” the same Bible as did our forefathers?


Evolutionary Materialism: Our New Worldview!

Because evolutionary materialism along with its many components has replaced Biblical Christianity as America’s foundational worldview, it is therefore a reoccurring phenomenon today that the church-attending public reflect the mind-set of the present culture more than the Bible. 

Since the present mind-set or worldview is steeped in evolutionism with all of its corollary ideologies and practices, it is easy to understand why there are so many breakdowns and inconsistencies in the lives of so many professing believers in America (e.g. 47% divorce among evangelicals, abject ignorance of scripture among Christians, a 70% loss of Christian youth to pagan philosophy by the time they reach 15 years of age, etc...).


The Chief Fruit of Evolutionism

By now, many will ask, "How did Evolution effect these kinds of drastic changes in American life?" The evolutionary theories affecting biology, geology, paleontology, etc..., while totally nonscientific, have, nevertheless in the name of science provided a legitimate means whereby anti-biblicists could excommunicate God from the center of American thought and life. 

This excommunication culminated in 1962-63 when the U. S. Supreme Court declared prayer and Bible reading unconstitutional in America's public schools. With God's creatorship seriously jeopardized by mounting collections of so-called "scientific" evidence, modern American man eagerly began worshiping and serving himself, rather than the Creator (Romans 1:25).

"For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen." (NAS)

As a result, Self and its gratification has become the driving ambition in American life.

When a practicing believer tells me that they don't believe in evolution and, therefore, none of this pertains to them, I admonish them to reassess their situation. Why do you suppose Paul warned Timothy that during the last days it would be difficult to be a Christian (II Timothy 3:1)?

The answer is easy (see II Timothy 3:2-5).

"For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these." [emphasis mine] (NAS)

Verse two explains that during the "last days" men will love only themselves and their money. In other words, a rabid selfism is predicted to take charge of our worldview and our subsequent lifestyles. which is a condition that would naturally follow the expulsion of God and His law from any society. Has that happened in America? It certainly has! 

The doctrine of Darwinian evolution gained the imagination of the college-set by the turn of the century, an event which ultimately culminated in the overthrow of America's Hebrew-Christian culture by 1962-63. From that time the moral decline in American society (church and all!) is a sad matter of real history.

As a Christian worker and professional educator for the past 40 years, I have been keenly aware that every aspect of life in America has been negatively influenced by the subtle and godless philosophy of evolutionism for some time (Colossians 2:8).

"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ." (NAS)

As a result Creation Truth Foundation, Inc. was organized.
