Plant geneticist Dr. John Sanford began working as a research scientist at Cornell University in 1980. He coinvented the “gene gun” approach to genetic engineering.
“I was totally sold on evolution. It was my religion; it defined how I saw everything; it was my value system and my reason for being. Later, I came to believe in God, but this still did not significantly change my intellectual outlook regarding origins. However, still later, as I began to personally know and submit to Jesus, I started to be fundamentally changed—in every respect. This included my mind, and how I viewed science and history. I would not say that science led me to the Lord. Rather I would say Jesus opened my eyes to His creation—I was blind, and gradually I could see.”
