Q:
I heard that a family sewed 115 ‘ragtime’ baby quilts
for the Creation Museum. What’s that all about?
| Quotable
quote: ‘People
seem to think that Christianity and evolution do or can
go together. But I suggest this is only possible for the
intellectually schizophrenic. Biological theory does not
require or allow any sort of divine guidance for the evolutionary
process.’
– David Oldroyd,
The (Australian) Weekend Review, p.5, 20–21 March
1993. (David
Oldroyd is associate professor in the School of Science
and Technology Studies at the University of New South Wales,
Australia.)

A: Ignacio
and Janis Garcia grew up believing in evolution, until they attended
an AiG conference in 1995. Since then, they say, AiG’s biblical
message has become a major ‘food’ source for their family,
including their two daughters. Wanting to help AiG complete its
Creation Museum,
they prayed about what to do.
After brainstorming, they came up with a unique way to raise money—and
awareness—about the museum: sew baby quilts for anyone who
has friends or family members expecting a child. (View
entire selection of baby quilts.)
The Garcias’ 16-year-old twin daughters, Sarah and Elizabeth,
did most of the work.
What does it take to make 115 unique, handcrafted baby quilts in
just under two months? 482,400 inches of thread, piles of cotton
flannel fabric and batting, love and patience. Lots of patience.
The girls prayed over the quilts as they sewed, asking that each
recipient (i.e. the baby) would come to know Jesus as their Savior.
They also want to see God build a history museum that will present
the true biblical timeline of history, not the false story of death
and suffering over millions of years.
The family is offering the quilts to AiG supporters in exchange
for a donation to the Creation Museum of $250 (with the entire proceeds
benefiting the museum).
