My name is David Martin. I occasionally contribute to Wikipedia to add references and external links where they are useful. My main interest is making sure that readers have a complete picture of certain topics rather than a skewed picture that many secular humanists and pure scientists would prefer to give readers. Yes, I believe God exists. Not just any God, the God of the Bible, who has a Son, Jesus Christ who is the ruler of all. I believe that the Bible (66 books of the Protestant Bible) is the only source of absolute truth. This doesn't mean that I disregard all information that comes from men, but it does mean that those men must agree with scripture or I do not believe them.

My worldview is governed by what God says is true. Here are a few examples of what I mean by this.


 * I believe God created the universe and all that is in it in 6 literal 24 hour days (Gen 1-2)
 * I believe in a global flood as described in Gen 6-9
 * I believe abortion is murder in all cases, including incest, rape, and when it is deemed dangerous for the mother (Gen 21:22-23)
 * I believe capital punishment is mandated by God to every nation on earth in Gen 9
 * I believe marriage should be between 1 man and 1 woman because that is what God created in the Garden before the Fall. (Gen 2)
 * I believe homeschooling is the only biblical mandate concerning the education of our children, both spiritual and intellectual. (Deut 6:6-9)
 * I believe debt is a bad thing for individuals, companies or nations (Prov 22:7)
 * I believe wives should be valued (1 Peter 3:7) and should be keepers at home (Titus 2:5)
 * I believe that Christians are new creatures, and therefore if they act as they always did before they claim to have been saved, they are not actually saved. (2 Cor 5:17)

I mention that last point because I believe that many people claim to be Christians but choose to live their lives any way they choose. I will concede that many do so out of ignorance. They haven't been discipled. That isn't the excuse though of many who attempt to use scripture to defend their sinful lifestyle. They even post articles on Wikipedia as though they do not know Christ at all.
