Atheist/Evolutionist Professor converts to Creationist than Christianity after being challenge with real scientific evidence. Darwinian Evolutionist deny real science and have replace it for their Theoretical assumptions about darwinian evolution, there is no science in Darwinian evolution, it's a made up story because of their fear of being accountable to a God.

If anything, he was a product of the anti-creationist second half of the twentieth century.
Dr. Richard D. Lumsden was fully grounded in Darwinian philosophy, and had no reason or desire to consider Christianity.
Science was his faith: the facts, and only the facts.
But at the apex of his professional career, he had enough integrity to check out the facts, and made a difficult choice to go where the facts led him, against what he had been taught, and against what he himself taught.
His life took a dramatic turnaround, from Darwinist to creationist, and from atheist to Christian.
Dr. Richard Lumsden was professor of parasitology and cell biology at Tulane University.
He served as dean of the graduate school, and published hundreds of scientific papers. He trained 30 PhDs. Thoroughly versed in biological sciences, both in knowledge and lab technique, including electron microscopy, he won the highest world award for parasitology.
All through his career he believed Darwinian evolution was an established principle of science, and he took great glee in ridiculing Christian beliefs.
One day, he heard that Louisiana had passed a law requiring equal time for creation with evolution, and he was flabbergasted how stupid, he thought, and how evil! He used the opportunity to launch into a tirade against creationism in class, and to give them his best eloquence in support of Darwinism.
Little did he know he had a formidable opponent in class that day. No, not a silver-tongued orator to engage him in a battle of wits; that would have been too easy.
This time it was a gentle, polite, young female student.
This student went up to him after class and cheerfully exclaimed, Great lecture, Doc! Say, I wonder if I could make an appointment with you; I have some questions about what you said, and just want to get my facts straight. Dr. Lumsden, flattered with this students positive approach, agreed on a time they could meet in his office. On the appointed day, the student thanked him for his time, and started in. She did not argue with anything he had said about evolution in class, but just began asking a series of questions:
How did life arise? . . . Isnt DNA too complex to form by chance? . . . Why are there gaps in the fossil record between major kinds? . . . .What are the missing links between apes and man?
She didnt act judgmental or provocative; she just wanted to know.
Lumsden, unabashed, gave the standard evolutionary answers to the questions.
But something about this interchange began making him very uneasy.
He was prepared for a fight, but not for a gentle, honest set of questions. As he listened to himself spouting the typical evolutionary responses, he thought to himself, This does not make any sense.
What I know about biology is contrary to what Im saying.
When the time came to go, the student picked up her books and smiled, Thanks, Doc! and left.
On the outside, Dr. Lumsden appeared confident; but on the inside, he was devastated. He knew that everything he had told this student was wrong.
Dr. Lumsden had the integrity to face his new doubts honestly.
He undertook a personal research project to check out the arguments for evolution, and over time, found them wanting. Based on the scientific evidence alone, he decided he must reject Darwinism, and he became a creationist.
But as morning follows night, he had to face the next question, Who is the Creator?
Shortly thereafter, by coincidence or not, his daughter invited him to church.
It was so out of character for this formerly crusty, self-confident evolutionist to go to church!
Not much earlier, he would have had nothing to do with religion.
Dr. Lumsden rejoiced in his new-found faith, but found out there is a price to pay also.
He was ejected from the science faculty after his dynamic conversion to Christ and creationism.
The Institute for Creation Research invited him to direct their biology department, which he did from 1990 to 1996.
Dick Lumsden was also appointed to the science faculty of The Masters College, and used his intimate knowledge of electron microscopy to help the campus set up an operational instrument for training students."
