In 1977 John G. Campbell
of Scotland founded a Counter Evolution Group, and
began publishing the newsletter DAYLIGHT. Sadly, John
passed away in 1986, and his periodical stopped.
In 1991 It was relaunched
by Anthony Nevard of England with the new format
magazine 'DAYLIGHT' and it was developed from a simple
presentation format, into a quality mini magazine.
In late 2006, it was
suspened from publication, as Anthony Nevard took
stock, seeking new and more effective ways to promote
his message.
In 2007 there was a focus
on setting up a new website with all produced
'Daylight' magazines from 1977 onwards being made
available for free online.
In 2011 an improved new
subscribers magazine was relaunched in January under
the continued direction of Anthony Nevard with
additional support from an inspired and active group
from Ireland.

Two members of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation, which is based in the United States, came to Britain, to organize a series of Catholic creation seminars in England, Scotland, and Wales.
In recent years, there
has been a renewed interest in examining the arguments
in favour of Creation rather than evolution, so this
is an excellent opportunity to hear up-to-date
information about the solidity of the Catholic case
for Creation.
These seminars were presented by Hugh Owen, the director of the Kolbe Center, who will present the theological side of the arguments, along with one of the Kolbe Center's scientific advisors who joined him to give the scientific side of the arguments.

It is a measure of how
successful evolutionary propaganda has been that some
might question whether there is any need to look at the
idea of Creation, since surely Evolution is accepted by
everyone nowadays?
However, as this section
hopes to show, in reality Evolution is opposed to
authentic Catholic teaching, and in fact it is the
underlying principle behind the modern world's
rejection of God. ... more

This is a very well
resourced Evangelical Christian site, which makes
information and books etc., available to a world-wide
audience. Once there you can choose your preferred
language. Some caution is needed in realizing that
this is an evangelical site, and thus is not
necessarily fully compatible with Catholicism - but as
far as can be ascertained, the majority of the
material available is essentially concerned with
presenting the biblical case for Creation, and this is
something that any Catholic should be able to go along
with. This is an example of genuine ecumenism!

 Creation
Rediscovered, by Gerard J. Keane
Foreword by Professor Maciej
Giertych
"In clear and simple
language, Gerard J. Keane reviews the present status
of the Evolution-Creation controversy. I am very happy
to be able to recommend this book. Indeed, Creation
Rediscovered by science comes to the rescue of
Christianity."
Preface by By Rev. Fr. Peter
Damian Fehlner, S.T.D
"It is most important
that Catholics have available to them studies of
Origins such as Gerard Keane's Creation Rediscovered,
which is free of errors in faith and morals and
advances sound Origins arguments on the premises of
Catholic theology."
Introduction by Gerard J.
Keane
Chapter 13 - The Position
within Catholicism - Part One
Chapter 13 - The Position
within Catholicism - Part Two
Review by Anthony Nevard
"Creation Rediscovered
should be read by every Catholic priest, teacher and
parent who is still under the delusion that the facts
of modern science require a revision of Catholic
doctrine relating to the origins of the World and the
nature of Man."
