Russell Grigg is a great scientist, creationist, editor, and missionary. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand. He attended to Victoria University College, which is known as Victoria University of Wellington, in Wellington, and from there he studied Chemistry [1].

He worked as the chemist for many years, and he worked at a church, Christchurch, as a manager. Russell attended another school, New Zealand Bible Training Institute, and now it is called Bible College of New Zealand; he studies Theology from there.

After he finished studying, he went out to many countries with the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in 1959. He has been to many counties: Indonesia, Jakarta, and other countries over twelve years. About 1972, he worked at Australian publishing company for ten years, and he wrote two books: Australian Trains and Death in the Family, and What to Do [2]. He worked so hard on his position, and he served lots of the positions. Russell Grigg was one of the OMF members, Overseas Missionary Fellowship [3], and he rejoined in 1982 as a home staff for eight years. He was a State Director for Australia (OMF's headquarter was located in Australia.). In 1980s, Grigg was well known by a magazine, Creation Ex Nihilo, which was made by his friends and him.

When Dr. Duane Gish came to Australia in 1988, Grigg wanted to hold a debate. No body from any university was comfortable to debate with Dr. Gish, so Grigg changed his plan. His idea was that Dr. Gish will lecture on Creation about one hour, and Dr. Gish will lecture on Evolution about one hour. In other words, Dr. Gish is debating by himself. The MSC, the Members of Students for Christ, supported Grigg’s idea; they posted the posters, gave the pamphlets to people and explained on those. When Dr. Gish's lecture was held, about three hundred people came to attend the debate.

As the editor, he has been read the articles and magazines on Creation and he has been fixed them. Also, as the writer, he has been written lots of the articles on Creation and has been published them. Not only being the editor and writer, nowadays, he watches the videos and gives the comments on them. Still he works as the State Director of OMF in Australia since 1990s.

The Da Vinci Code

Russell Grigg wrote an article on the Da Vinci Code movie. As many people know, the Da Vinci Code was made to the movie from Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code. Actually, the movie did not receive applause. The media said that the movie and the book were the brilliant things for discovering about Jesus on the Last Supper, but Grigg opposed on it; he thought the movie and the book gave wrong information.

Do you think that did the movie and the book really reveal right things on Jesus? Do they really are the truth? The movie and the book said that Sophie is the descendant of Jesus and Virgin Mary, but it cannot be true according to the Bible.

We can watch the movie or read the book, but the Christians might be challenged by those. At the end of the article, Grigg said “…Christians would do well to equip themselves with correct information to engage in dialogue with both readers and viewers.”[6] This article shows how Grigg thinks on the movie, also, how he thinks as the Christian. He supported his idea with people’s thinking and based on the Bible that Mary did not marry with Jesus and the movie and the book are wrong.
