"I Thought Creationists Were Monsters -- Until I Married One"


Newsweek -- "Before Rob, I hadn’t known any creationists," writes Tatiana Hamboyan Harrison. "I assumed that they were people who believed in the Bible more than in scientific data, probably out of stupidity."

"Whenever I imagined what a creationist might look like, he or she was always standing up on a podium, passing judgment on all evolutionists, condemning them as nonbelievers and scorning them with hateful words. I wasn’t sure where these people lived, but I figured it was probably down South somewhere, or in the Midwest.

"Surely I’d never have to interact with any of them. But falling in love with Rob changed everything."
