#7 - Lance Wynn

Lance Wynn was born in Sarasota, Florida. His parents were born here, and his family goes back 4 to 5 generations in North Florida. He loved fishing in the everglades with his dad and playing baseball, which was a big part of his life.

He would go to church every Sunday unless he went fishing for the weekend. Lance was a protestant like most southerners and was active in Sunday school. In the third grade, He was taught that Adam and Eve were created on the 6th day and Eve talked to a snake.

The snake told her if she ate the apple, she would not die, but she would become wise like a god. She and Adam both ate the apple. A few weeks later, his mother took him and his brother to their grandmother's house to visit. Lance and his brother usually read the Sears catalog, but this day was different. He looked at the large bible sitting on the table and decided to read the beginning of Genesis.

Lance was amazed at the content of the book. He then became aware that mankind was created on the sixth day, and GOD rested on the seventh day. On the 8th day, GOD did not have a man to till the ground, so he created Adam and Eve. Lance learned what was taught in Sunday School was wrong, as there was no mention of the apple in the book of Genesis.

He could not believe that it was taught this in Sunday school. Lance sincerely prayed to GOD and vowed to know the truth one day. He went on a learning journey. Many years later, he started writing the book Genesis Understood.
