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.
