then I expect to hear a retraction or clarification made soon as other
believers correct him.  If he is not a brother in Christ, then he will
continue to support the working of iniquity that seeks to remove the

very
damaging to our society, to believers who want to acknowledge God the
Creator in their study of origins.  To think that science and the

not
from theologians, and certainly not from the Right Reverend Doctor

Linda, I believe that de-evolution is a much stronger force than evolution. I believe that natural selection only works when a mutation creates not only the change , itself, but a population with the same mutation and a reproductive proclivity that prevents the unique from being absorbed BACK into the general population. Evenan old earth belief,IMO,does not present enough time for evolution to have occurred at the levels claimed by its believers. And theistic evolution is only a form of creationism -- God manipulating growth and change via a process. Micro - yes. Macro - no. 



I believe that the "eternity of God" is philosophically preferable to the eternity of matter (in whatever form ) and motion (of elementary particles). While at Cal Davis, my two sons had to deal with a radical andatheistic biology prof. These were some of the points I gave them. They used them in class.They  semed to work. 



Do I want creationism forced into the curriculum of our schools. NO. Who would teach it? What brand of creationism would be taught? And how do you teach it without a knowledge of and the use of the Bible? I mean -- isn't that the point of creationism? The BIBLE says this BUT science says something else? IMO, there simply is no way such a concept could be implemented.

to divide from the water, it took less than a minute to say it, but hours for
the land and water to do what he said.He also may have been

Secondly, the reason you are confused with what I said (144 hours of

speak) is rather simple -- you have somehow lost the context of my
statement. My comments go the the notion that day is not a 24
hour period. To say that it is metaphorical
doesnot mean that God did not create the world and even in
the sequence depicted -- at least not to me. Such an
admission , on my part, does not mean that I believe the Genesis account to be
scientific as we understand that term , today.
Look -- do you really believe that God worked so hard in His
creation activity that he needed a 24 hour period of time to rest up
!!!?? And rest up  for what? Com'on David,

Jd, I remember when my oldest son told me (when he was in college) that he was no longer a Believer. I calmly told him that he was going through a good and necessary stage of life in which he was rejecting what he had been taught as a child so that he could re-evaluate everything for himself. I assured him that when he had completed this task that he would find that what he had been taught about his faith as a child would not only prove to be true, but would be his very own, internalized belief. He is now a Christian, although he does not usually attend church although his wife usually does. He is more of a solitary person, like his father. I would appreciate prayers for his growth in the area of fellowship. He is as fine a young man as ever I have met. I have learned much from him over the years, and thoroughly enjoy every moment I get to spend with him. izzy

What do I believe about Genesis? Did you read any of my posts? 



Sciencehas no answers to our confusion, our bondage, our need for community andan  innate longing to live beyond what we see.As soon as we turn Genesis into a statement of science, we lessen its value to the human spirit. 



What do I get from reading those first three chapters? That God is in control -- not that He is SOMEHOW in control - but that He is IN FACT in control. He is my creator. I am in His image. And even when I fall, He continues to hover over and round me. It tells me that I was created for others -- my wife, my children and the world in which I live. It tells me I am responsible for much of my actions. Work is a curse because I must be responsible !! I and my wife are one becauseGodthought this to be the case from the beginning. and REST has as much a place in the coming and goings of man as work. That's what I get out of this Genesis account.Whilesome of you only see a debate  



Do you know the best way of dealing with a child - in my case an older son -- who comes home announcing that he no longer believes in the bible??!! IGNORE that comment and continue to be a witness , using, at times, the very book that he rejects. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT challenge him/her to a debate. You will not win, if your version of :winning" is to bring that child to say "Iwas wrong, Dad, and you were right again." He won't do it. But if you ignore the challenge, and give biblical presentations that make sense to the way he is living his life -- the objection vanishes into thin air. Theory? Nope. It worked on both of my older boys - the lawyer and the doctor. But I digress with some free advice. 



The long and short of the lesson is this -- make the Bible THE battle ground and you will lose the war !!! Present the Bible as something that offers life in the Spirit of God in the Christ of God and you have a winner.

David !! Honestly, this is one of the sorriest posts you have ever written. First, an atheist mocks God and I am no atheist. 



Secondly, the reason you are confused with what I said (144 hours of time to speak the words of creation that took only 26 seconds to actually speak) is rather simple -- you have somehow lost the context of my statement. My comments go the the notion that "day" is not a 24 hour period. To say that it is metaphorical doesnot mean that God did not create the world and even in the sequence depicted -- at least not to me. Such an admission , on my part, does not mean that I believe the Genesis account to be "scientific" as we understand that term , today. Look -- do you really believe that God worked so hard in His creation activity that he needed a 24 hour period of time to rest up !!!?? And "rest up " for what? Com'on David, this is impossible.

The history of public education is a little more complicated than
this. I think the more forceful argument was making education available
to those who were not wealthy. The non-sectarian nature of it came in
because the originators, men like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Horace
Mann, etc., were Deists and Unitarian, along with the fact that the U.S. was a
melting pot of various religious groups. One simply cannot offer public
education for all without setting aside the individual religious beliefs and
focusing upon the knowledge that was more common among the different religious
sects.











What many people do not realize is that the concept of schools came
from Christianity. Almost all the institutions of learning first came
about through the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Calvinists,
thePuritans, etc. Interestingly, non-Christian education never
materialized until everyone was forced to pay for it through taxation, through
the efforts of menlike Horace Mann. Mann converted from Calvinism
to the Unitarian church.

grandchildren are being homeschooled so they can be taught the Truth! Lance and
jd; should it be illegal for them to be taught about Creationism at home? If
not, why should it be illegal for them to be taught anywhere else? Do you have
any idea about the Christian roots of our public education system (before the
lefties took over?) izzy

Mann instituted public education as an alternative to the existing private and religious system of the day. That is what I am talking about. What the Puritans did in the 1600's is NOT what I am talking about. I am telling you that public education started in Mass. as a reaction to "religious" and private systems of the day. That is how I remember my history on this.

Exactly right that Horace Mann introduced humanism in place of Christianity in the public education system. Until him the Bible was the basic textbook. izzy

The history of public education is a little more complicated than this. I think the more forceful argument was making education available to those who were not wealthy. The non-sectarian nature of it came in because the originators, men like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Horace Mann, etc., were Deists and Unitarian, along with the fact that the U.S. was a melting pot of various religious groups. One simply cannot offer public education for all without setting aside the individual religious beliefs and focusing upon the knowledge that was more common among the different religious sects.



What many people do not realize is that the concept of schools came from Christianity. Almost all the institutions of learning first came about through the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Calvinists, thePuritans, etc. Interestingly, non-Christian education never materialized until everyone was forced to pay for it through taxation, through the efforts of menlike Horace Mann. Mann converted from Calvinism to the Unitarian church.

She should not teach them that the universe IS geocentric, but she should teach them the geocentric model, evidence for and against it,and its place in thehistory of science and religion. Isn't it strange how science has no problem doing this, but it does have a problem with creation science being dealt with in the same way?

What in the hell do you think I have been talking about? You are so far off course here, as to be just plain silly. I am not a "big banger" nor do I believe that a lung fish is ancient family. In fact, I am with the growing opinion that there has not been enough time for evolution to have worked it's wonders.That doesn't mean evolution at some level does not exist. But, now, it is I who digresses.

My point? If the church had not surrendered its college ageyoung people to the Unisersity system, we would not need this discussion. The church is not in the High School and our senior class has yet to convert to atheistic evolutionism...proving that WE DON'T NEED TO BE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IF WE ARE DOING OUR JOB -- AS A CHURCH OF CHRIST IN MINISTRY TO THE WORLD --- and I am not just talking about "preaching to the lost."

To believe fundamental Christianity means to accept fundamental tenets of 
Christianity.  To believe fundamentalism means to embrace a sect of 
Christianity which hammers on the fundamentals.  What if that ism sect 
said that only the KJV was inspired, or that believers need to sell all, 
forsake possessions, and live in communes like the early believers did, or 
that anyone who did not speak in tongues and heal the sick were not living

 He is not a liberal loony for believing differently from me.  The moniker
 was offered because of his statement about how acknowledgement of our
 Creator did not belong in schools.  He made an irrational statement,
 assuming that CNN reported him accurately.  If he is a brother in Christ,
 then I expect to hear a retraction or clarification made soon as other
 believers correct him.  If he is not a brother in Christ, then he will
 continue to support the working of iniquity that seeks to remove the
 acknowledgment of God our Creator from the schools.  What he said was very
 damaging to our society, to believers who want to acknowledge God the
 Creator in their study of origins.  To think that science and the
 acknowledgement of God are incompatible is expected from scientists but
 not
 from theologians, and certainly not from the Right Reverend Doctor Rowland
 Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.

said: I don't think it should, actually. No, no.

So how have I mischaracterized him?

He is not a liberal loony for believing differently from me.  The moniker
was offered because of his statement about how acknowledgement of our
Creator did not belong in schools.  He made an irrational statement,
assuming that CNN reported him accurately.  If he is a brother in Christ,
then I expect to hear a retraction or clarification made soon as other
believers correct him.  If he is not a brother in Christ, then he will
continue to support the working of iniquity that seeks to remove the
acknowledgment of God our Creator from the schools.  What he said was 
very

damaging to our society, to believers who want to acknowledge God the
Creator in their study of origins.  To think that science and the
acknowledgement of God are incompatible is expected from scientists but
not
from theologians, and certainly not from the Right Reverend Doctor 
Rowland

Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.

David !! Honestly, this is one of the sorriest posts you have ever written. First, an atheist mocks God and I am no atheist. 

Secondly, the reason you are confused with what I said (144 hours of time to speak the words of creation that took only 26 seconds to actually speak) is rather simple -- you have somehow lost the context of my statement. My comments go the the notion that "day" is not a 24 hour period. To say that it is metaphorical doesnot mean that God did not create the world and even in the sequence depicted -- at least not to me. Such an admission , on my part, does not mean that I believe the Genesis account to be "scientific" as we understand that term , today. Look -- do you really believe that God worked so hard in His creation activity that he needed a 24 hour period of time to rest up !!!?? And "rest up " for what? Com'on David, this is impossible.

I don't know why you are getting so emotional over this.

I think that when God spoke, in many situations, it took some time for what 
he said to take place. For example, if he spoke for the land masses to 
divide from the water, it took less than a minute to say it, but hours for the 
land and water to do what he said.He also may have been involved in 
other ways that we don't understand right now. Do you see it 
differently? It does not have anything to do with resting for the next 
day.

So I prefer the concept of believing in fundamental Christianity but not believing in fundamentalism.And that is whileI prefer to believe the Special Revelation of God himself, I do not have a POPE or Potentate or Presbytery.   I simply believe the revelation in the Book. JN 17:17 "Thy word IS Truth"  That is my presupposition I Deduce all my beliefs from there.Holy Spirit testifies of Christ  John 15:26-27 [26]"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about meThe Word testifies of Christ  JN 5:39, 46 "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they
 which testify of Me."

David Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  To believe fundamental Christianity means to accept fundamental tenets of Christianity. To believe fundamentalism means to embrace a sect of Christianity which hammers on the fundamentals. What if that "ism" sect said that only the KJV was inspired, or that believers need to sell all, forsake possessions, and live in communes like the early believers did, or that
 anyone who did not speak in tongues and heal the sick were not living in the same faith as the early believers? I could go on and on. The problem with believing in any "ism" is that if error creeps into the "ism" sect at all, it infects the whole group.

 He is not a liberal loony for believing differently from me.  The moniker
 was offered because of his statement about how acknowledgement of our
 Creator did not belong in schools.  He made an irrational statement,
 assuming that CNN reported him accurately.  If he is a brother in Christ,
 then I expect to hear a retraction or clarification made soon as other
 believers correct him.  If he is not a brother in Christ, then he will
 continue to support the working of iniquity that seeks to remove the
 acknowledgment of God our Creator from the schools.  What he said was 
 very
 damaging to our society, to believers who want to acknowledge God the
 Creator in their study of origins.  To think that science and the
 acknowledgement of God are incompatible is expected from scientists but
 not
 from theologians, and certainly not from the Right Reverend Doctor 
 Rowland
 Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Christian roots of our public education systemNo but I do know about the Lefty Fruits of our public education, it is not about education. it is all about Indoctrination.  Government school Education is one of the promises ofthe Communist Manifesto 1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school  property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management. 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. Misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair
 share". 3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. We call it Federal  State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes. 4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. We call in government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Police confiscation and Court ordered political fines.5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. We call it the Federal Reserve which is a credit/debt system nationally organized by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). 6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State. We call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) madated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations. 7. Extention of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the
 improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. We call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Evironmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations. 8. Equal liablity of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture. We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920s, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program
 and of course Executive order 11000. 9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country. We call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. 10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc. People are being taxed to support what we call "public" schools, which train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education".ShieldsFamily

Linda, I believe that de-evolution is a much stronger force than evolution. I believe that natural selection only works when a mutation creates not only the change , itself, but a population with the same mutation and a reproductive proclivity that prevents the unique from being absorbed BACK into the general population. Evenan old earth belief,IMO,does not present enough time for evolution to have occurred at the levels claimed by its believers. And theistic evolution is only a form of creationism -- God manipulating growth and change via a process. Micro - yes. Macro - no. 

I believe that the "eternity of God" is philosophically preferable to the eternity of matter (in whatever form ) and motion (of elementary particles). While at Cal Davis, my two sons had to deal with a radical andatheistic biology prof. These were some of the points I gave them. They used them in class.They   semed to work. 

Do I want creationism forced into the curriculum of our schools. NO. Who would teach it? What brand of creationism would be taught? And how do you teach it without a knowledge of and the use of the Bible? I mean -- isn't that the point of creationism? The BIBLE says this BUT science says something else? IMO, there simply is no way such a concept could be implemented.

What do I believe about Genesis? Did you read any of my posts? 

Sciencehas no answers to our confusion, our bondage, our need for community andan  innate longing to live beyond what we see.As soon as we turn Genesis into a statement of science, we lessen its value to the human spirit. 

What do I get from reading those first three chapters? That God is in control -- not that He is SOMEHOW in control - but that He is IN FACT in control. He is my creator. I am in His image. And even when I fall, He continues to hover over and round me. It tells me that I was created for others -- my wife, my children and the world in which I live. It tells me I am responsible for much of my actions. Work is a curse because I must be responsible !! I and my wife are one becauseGodthought this to be the case from the beginning. and REST has as much a place in the coming and goings of man as work. That's what I get out of this Genesis account.Whilesome of you only see a debate  

Do you know the best way of dealing with a child - in my case an older son -- who comes home announcing that he no longer believes in the bible??!! IGNORE that comment and continue to be a witness , using, at times, the very book that he rejects. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT challenge him/her to a debate. You will not win, if your version of :winning" is to bring that child to say "Iwas wrong, Dad, and you were right again." He won't do it. But if you ignore the challenge, and give biblical presentations that make sense to the way he is living his life -- the objection vanishes into thin air. Theory? Nope. It worked on both of my older boys - the lawyer and the doctor. But I digress with some free advice. 

The long and short of the lesson is this -- make the Bible THE battle ground and you will lose the war !!! Present the Bible as something that offers life in the Spirit of God in the Christ of God and you have a winner.

David !! Honestly, this is one of the sorriest posts you have ever written. First, an atheist mocks God and I am no atheist. 



Secondly, the reason you are confused with what I said (144 hours of time to speak the words of creation that took only 26 seconds to actually speak) is rather simple -- you have somehow lost the context of my statement. My comments go the the notion that "day" is not a 24 hour period. To say that it is metaphorical doesnot mean that God did not create the world and even in the sequence depicted -- at least not to me. Such an admission , on my part, does not mean that I believe the Genesis account to be "scientific" as we understand that term , today. Look -- do you really believe that God worked so hard in His creation activity that he needed a 24 hour period of time to rest up !!!?? And "rest up " for what? Com'on David, this is impossible.

You do KNOW, do you not David, that that's NOT the source of his 
embarrassment? Rowan Williams is not embarrassed concerning our Lord 
ANYWHERE. He, not unlike many, are embarrassed over believers turning 
non-issues into 'issues'. (i.e. creationISM)

Alister McGrath?  He was received at Oxford as an atheist, and later he 
converted to Christianity.  I guess your point is that John should become an 
atheist first and then he would get in?

You still don't get my point.  A Christian these days, according to many of 
these theologians, must adopt the dogma that the mention of a Creator or 
models that involve a Creator should not be taught in school.  All their 
rhetoric about the compatibility of faith and science doesn't mean much at 
all if they affirm this idea that the Creator should be ignored in the study 
of science.

I guess we'll not be going out on a high note, David!

As there was no 'smiley' in para #1, am I to take you seriously? Please 
check out Dr. McGrath's credentials. (speaking with you outside of your 
sectarian framework David, is often like speaking to a child) I've read 
pretty much everything he's written on science/theology. I've listened to 
several (5-6) courses. Why you chose to step out on your 'silly' foot, I do 
not know.


And David, how is it that you KNOW this to be true of Dr. McGrath? Have you 
read him? Have you heard him? Are you agnostic as to Dr. McGrath's 
credentials and his teaching on both science  theology? How is it that one 
could not appreciate your scholarship on this?

Alister McGrath?  He was received at Oxford as an atheist, and later he
converted to Christianity.  I guess your point is that John should become 
an

atheist first and then he would get in?

You still don't get my point.  A Christian these days, according to many 
of

these theologians, must adopt the dogma that the mention of a Creator or
models that involve a Creator should not be taught in school.  All their
rhetoric about the compatibility of faith and science doesn't mean much at
all if they affirm this idea that the Creator should be ignored in the 
study

of science.

There is more to this issue that this.  Is he embarrassed of certain

that whole ICR group over there.  At the same time, they serve a purpose

You say it is a NON-ISSUE?  I consider such a statement ignorant in the

has
illustrated, and that is that this is an issue.

I talked with a student a few months ago, John Boyles, just before he was

Florida.
I talked with him about the persecution my daughter is undergoing at UF
just
because she believes the Bible that homosexual behavior is sinful.  He
confided to me that he applied for a Rhodes scholarship to study theology

I'm glad you asked.

There are several things you would learn:

1.  You would learn about the evidence for polonium halos indicating that 
the basement rocks of the earth were created rapidly, in minutes, rather 
than cooling over a million years.

2.  You would see a clear example of how science operates by constructing 
hypotheses and testing those hypotheses, falsifying each one.

3.  You would learn about the bigotry in science against publishing articles 
that suggest a creationist model of origins.

4.  You would learn a little about how a court room judge relied upon expert 
testimony to the exclusion of examining scientific evidence.

The book is an easy read, and it breaks down the science into very simple 
concepts.  It is well worth the read by anyone interested in the creation 
versus evolution controversy.

Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: Williams on Creationism

2006-03-22 Thread knpraise

It is a shame we will not be able to finish this thread, I suppose, but I must say something here -- the conflict (speaking for myself) is not between science and religion. It is between religion and fundamentalism (radical fundamentalism, if you will.) Knowing that the first step will not be last step for Rad Fundies, I prefer to deal with the situation outside the school setting. The church has done an excellent job in this regard with the High School population -- but it has forsaken the University campus' without a fight. Truth will win out if compared to that which has no bearings. The failure, here, is with the church and its seeming inability to continue with the college age population. It -- religion - simply does not need to be in collegiate curriculum to win the fight for the hearts and minds of the college age student. 

The church has done a shameful job with the older student, just as it does with the unwanted-infant population. If the church could place 1.4 million newborns each year -- abortion would be EASILY defeated. But , as long as we think that after birth,it is all up to the infant, well, the battle will rage. 

In short -- the fundies (and not they alone) do not want the kind of involvement that would make victory in either venue almost undeniable. I do not want the Carroll Dean's and Pat Robertsons of this world running anything of an evangelistic nature.

I'm glad you asked.

There are several things you would learn:

1.  You would learn about the evidence for polonium halos indicating that
the basement rocks of the earth were created rapidly, in minutes, rather
than cooling over a million years.

2.  You would see a clear example of how science operates by constructing
hypotheses and testing those hypotheses, falsifying each one.

3.  You would learn about the bigotry in science against publishing 
articles

that suggest a creationist model of origins.

4.  You would learn a little about how a court room judge relied upon 
expert

testimony to the exclusion of examining scientific evidence.

The book is an easy read, and it breaks down the science into very simple
concepts.  It is well worth the read by anyone interested in the creation
versus evolution controversy.

 and science doesn't mean much at all if they affirm this idea that the Creator should be ignored in the study of science.David Miller- Original Message - From: "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: <TRUTHTALK@MAIL.INNGLORY.ORG>Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 8:47 AMSubject: Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: Williams on CreationismDavid:I'll take a pass on the ad-homs in your post as they simply illustrate whatI've said concerning you all along.

Lance wrote: You do KNOW, do you not David, that that's NOT the source of his embarrassment? Rowan Williams is not embarrassed concerning our Lord ANYWHERE. He, not unlike many, are embarrassed over believers turning non-issues into 'issues'. (i.e. creationISM) There is more to this issue that this. Is he embarrassed of certain brands of creationism? Of course. I am too. I'm embarrassed of Henry Morris and that whole ICR group over there. At the same time, they serve a purpose in what they do, and we should not revolt to them so much that we accept the atheistic
 and scientific agenda of removing all references to the Creator from our public schools. You say it is a NON-ISSUE? I consider such a statement ignorant in the extreme. Deceptive to the core. There is one thing that the ICR group has illustrated, and that is that this is an issue. I talked with a student a few months ago, John Boyles, just before he was elected to be President of Student Government at the University of Florida.. I talked with him about the persecution my daughter is undergoing at UF just because she believes the Bible that homosexual behavior is sinful. He confided to me that he applied for a Rhodes scholarship to study theology at Oxford. He was turned down because he argued in his oral examination / interview that the idea of Intelligent Design should be considered in the classroom. If this was a non-issue, these professors
 of theology would have tolerated his creationist convictions. I wish I could convey to you the grief this man carried over his own religious persecution by those who would not have him study theology because he believed intelligent design theories should be considered in school. I truly believe that these modern theologians assume that scientists are well studied in origins and are deeply convicted about the truth of evolutionary processes and the absurdity of the teaching of Genesis. When the truth comes out, they will be the ones who will be greatly embarrassed in the day of our Lord. The philosopher Thomas Khun was right in how he depicted the way science really operates. These theologians who object to Creationist models of origins should pay attention to him just a little bit more. David Miller --

Now, if that makes him what you say then, that makes you what I say.He is not a liberal loony for believing differently from me. The moniker was offered because of his statement about how acknowledgement of our
 Creator did not belong in schools. He made an irrational statement, assuming that CNN reported him accurately. If he is a brother in Christ, then I expect to hear a retraction or clarification made soon as other believers correct him. If he is not a brother in Christ, then he will continue to support the working of iniquity that seeks to remove the acknowledgment of God our Creator from the schools. What he said was very damaging to our society, to believers who want to acknowledge God the Creator in their study of origins. To think that science and the acknowledgement of God are incompatible is expected from scientists but not from theologians, and certainly not from the Right Reverend Doctor Rowland Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.David Miller--"Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."

You would see a clear example of how science operates by constructing hypotheses and testing those hypotheses, falsifying each one.3.
