Essential Tools for the Creationist - Introduction

Recently, I finished writing a short paper.  I had made a number of entries on these same topics last year (here, here and here as well as my blog sidebar) because they are important for Christians to keep in mind and is why I also wrote the paper.  However, because I better defined and clarified my thoughts and because I added a few new thoughts, I want to post the paper on my blog so that others could benefit as well.  Note that I have divided the paper into three parts (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3) to keep it more managable for the reader.
