Philip Bell
Philip is a scientist and educator who lives and works in the United Kingdom. He
studied biology and geology at the University of Wales (Swansea), graduating in
zoology in 1989. For nine years he worked at a cancer research unit in chemosensitivity
testing. During the 1990s, he was a member of the Postgraduate School of Medicine,
Bath University. While he was involved there, he (co-)authored a number of papers
on anticancer drug stability, new drug screening, drug resistance and programmed
cell death (apoptosis).
Philip became a secondary school science teacher in the late 1990s, but has worked
full time in Creation ministry since 2001. Since that time, Philip has travelled
throughout the UK, Europe and beyond, speaking on Bible/science topics in churches,
schools and universities. In January 2007, he became CEO of the newly formed Creation
Ministries International (UK/Europe). He has continued to publish occasional
cancer research papers (in secular medical journals) as well as contributing to
Creation magazine, the Journal of Creation and CMI’s website.
Philip trusted in Christ as a child and was raised in a strong Christian home to
believe the Bible from the very first verse, but compromised with secular beliefs
about origins in his late teens. During the course of his later, graduate studies
he rejected evolution/millions of years on both scientific and biblical grounds.
He came again to see the Bible as God's completely trustworthy, infallible Word
on scientific and historical matters—not just matters of Christian faith and
conduct. Philip is married with five children, all of whom are home-schooled.
