Jim Bendewald has enjoyed communicating the gospel (the salvation story) since he became a Christian in 1976. Jim earned a B.A. in psychology from the University of Washington in 1979. He met his wife, Kathleen, at Moody Bible Institute, and they were married in 1984.
He attended seminary at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary and graduated with a Masters of Divinity in 1989. He served as a church planter for two years for the Southern Baptist Convention Home Mission Board while in Novato, California. Their daughter, Sarah Rose, was born in 1998.
Currently Jim operates two small businesses. James Studio is a photography and videography business. Review his work at: http://www.JamesStudio.com The web site provides both photo and video samples. CompuTALK is Jim’s speech recognition with Dragon NaturallySpeaking business. Jim is is a certified reseller and trainer for Nuance which sells Dragon NaturallySpeaking. He created a training program for Dragon NaturallySpeaking called SpeakEASY DVD. Review his web site at: http://www.Speak-It.com which provides both written and video content for Dragon NaturallySpeaking and his training program.
In addition, Jim developed a CD-ROM and co-authored a book. The development of Evidence the Bible is True took three years and has since sold over 5,000 copies. Jim’s book Evolution Shot Full of Holes was a 1.5 year project and has sold over 2,000 copies.
This web site reflects his passion, his soul, his desire to make a difference in people’s lives. Jim’s next project is to create a documentary on the topic of evolution vs creation. Science has advanced to the point where common people can now make a clear decision on this topic. What is known today about the universe, it’s laws, physics, life, the cell etc. is vastly more indepth than what was known in Charles Darwin’s day. Though the evolutionists have successfully labeled creation and Intelligent Design as religion in various court cases, modern science clearly favors creation as the truth. Nature shouts creation and evolution is the new mysticism. Jim wants his viewers to see and understand the evidence for creation themselves.
His current working title for this project is Evolution in Decline works off of a play on words. One reason for this title is that real examples of evolution as seen in nature, are usually a result of change that encompasses less information than the parent (thus a decrease of information not an increase). This decrease of information are the examples that are touted as proof of evolution but this is evolution in decline not incline as Darwin’s controversal ideas predict. In fact, natural selection is by nature a ’selecting out’ process. Think of geometry where you have a whole object called a set. The subset is a portion of the set. When it comes to bacteria, plants and animals etc. that have adapted they do so with less information than the parent. This icon of evolution is evolution in decline. A second reason for the title Evolution in Decline is most people still believe in God. Though evolution is assumed to be true among many secular educators, scientists and media; surveys continue to show that the majority of US citzens believe in some form of creation. In fact as creation seminars, books, articles, video and audio messages are presented to the public, increasingly more young people are refusing to accept the atheistic assumptions that there is no God and evolution is the answer.
Even the most ardent anti-Christians such as Richard Dawkins hedges his comments saying that maybe aliens or some other intelligent source is the cause for our existence. The logic of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and every field of science and culture (such as art and music) screams: order, pattern, extreme complexity, intelligence – God. So if this subject is of interest to you please read the many articles on this site. It is worth your investment of time.
