This is an open letter to new La Sierra University Provost Steve Paluk from Warren L. Johns, Esq. Read “LSU’s public relations man calls Educate Truth ‘attack website‘” for more related information on WASC and La Sierra University. Accreditation offers no straw-man excuse enabling LSU to infect its curricula with “theistic evolution.” A church owned university requires accreditation both by its underwriting owner/parent and the secular agency exercising oversight jurisdiction. Mission Accreditation: The West Point ...

The abstract of the article says: A common claim is that no conflict exists between modern neo-Darwinism and orthodox biblical Christianity. The conclusions of many of the most eminent biologists today and a major study of leading biologists were reviewed, finding that they strongly disagree with the non-conflict hypothesis.

By Daniel K. Berry, DO, PhD I read that the LSU Board set up a committee to “discipline,” or quite possibly kick out, three board members for sharing information with three church officials, at the division or general conference level. I have these observations to make regarding potential “discipline” of certain LSU board members: A business owner has the authority to purchase, spend, hire, fire, set policies and take other actions necessary to run his or her company. However, large companies have more than one owner. Therefore, the business ...

Church President Says He Won’t “Flinch” on Creation Issue BY MICHAEL W. CAMPBELL Ted WilsonThe Seventh-day Adventist Church will stand firm for the things that we have understood to be the pillars of faith. We will not flinch. We will not be deterred,” world church president Ted Wilson stated July 1 during the session’s “Yes, Creation!” lecture series. Wilson’s Thursday presentation, titled “God’s Literal, Six-Day, Recent Creation—The Church’s Position,” drew a standing-room-only crowd, with many people turned away at the ...

The following is an excerpt from president Ted Wilson’s sermon on the last Sabbath of the GC Session. You can read the whole sermon below. Ted Wilson Go forward, not backward! Stand firm for God’s Word as it is literally read and understood. Of course, we must always humbly recognize that we are finite, fallen creatures observing the works of an infinite omnipotent God. There are things in both of God’s two great books of nature and Scripture that we do not fully comprehend. In fact, we are told that the sacrifice of Jesus will be “the ...

It has been clear for much of Lawrence Geraty’s distinguished career that he never really did support the “fundamentalist” interpretation of the Genesis account as clearly referring to six literal days of creation.  Beyond this, he has not considered such a fundamental doctrinal belief to be all that important to the SDA Church.  Even so, he claims to have hired LSU professors that he thought would support the Church and “Creationism” (though clearly not the Church’s literal 6-day Creationism – gotta watch ...

By Educate Truth Staff Louie Bishop pulls the veil from LSU’s new biology seminar (BIOL 111A). An advertisement for the class in the Pacific Union Recorder (Nov. 2009) said the class would include “the Seventh-day Adventist teachings on the biblical doctrine of creation….” This is not the case. According to Bishop, quite the opposite was occurring in the classroom, but we aren’t left with just Bishop’s word on the matter. LSU recorded the lectures, and Bishop challenges President Randal Wisbey to post the videos ...

By Sean Pitman, M.D. The LSU PR department is working overtime to produce an image of LSU as a Seventh-day Adventist institution that is in full support of the fundamental goals, ideals and Pillars of the SDA faith.  At the GC the LSU booth is staffed by those who are telling everyone that the current controversy surrounding LSU’s promotion of evolutionary theories as the true story of origins is completely overblown; not at all representative of what LSU stands for. They, along with LSU’s President, Randal Wisbey, are passing out handouts ...
