About John Lang
John Lang graduated from Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) in 1984 with a degree in Real Estate and Finance. Most of his career has been centered around the field of commercial real estate appraisal. For the past few years, he has worked in the construction lending department of a bank as a commercial real estate portfolio manager. Although he does not have a degree in science or theology, John has had a strong interest in the field of Christian apologetics since the mid 1980’s. He has written several papers that have been published on Doug Jacoby’s website. John and his wife, Analia, have three children and reside in the Indianapolis metropolitan area.

The project I am currently working on is a class for the conference entitled, “Integrity in Apologetics”. The framework of the class is a case study in the various approaches to the creation/evolution controversy; however, the broader scope has to do with how our worldview or paradigm influences the integrity of our apologetic arguments. The intent is to promote an attitude of “following the evidence wherever it leads”, even if that requires a paradigm shift. I believe this is the type of perspective we need to maintain if we hope to retain the necessary credibility to persuade skeptics of the reasonableness of our faith.
