Videos show LSU undermining church doctrine

These videos were anonymously sent to Educate Truth. In the interest of transparency, we are posting them here for you to review and critique.

Keep in mind the president of La Sierra University was made aware of the contents of these classes in Nov. 2009. Compare the statements from these videos with those made in LSU’s advertisement in the Pacific Union Recorder.

UPDATE: Warren C. Trenchard requested that his lecture be removed from Educate Truth. He told Educate Truth that if his lecture was not taken down he would take whatever action necessary to make sure it was. He claimed that it was unethical and illegal to have this video posted without his express permission – permission he was not willing to grant to Educate Truth or even to the one(s) who produced the video. He did not provide additional reasons for his request.

In this video, Dr. Webster says that a literal interpretation of Genesis 1 and 2 is “not particularly helpful,” and suggests that higher critical methods of interpretation may be helpful.

In this video Dr. Warren Harvey Johns, Loma Linda University, concludes his final thoughts regarding Genesis. Please note that the ardent young-life creationist Warren Leroy Johns, though having a similar name, is very much opposed to the views of Warren H. Johns as presented in this video clip…

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are currently editing the class lectures down so that you don’ have to watch the whole lecture to see the relevant sections. We hope to have those clips up soon.

BIOL 111: Genomes and their Evolution

The slides that were previously posted have been temporary removed.

Class syllabi and presentations are being sequestered presently, making it difficult to obtain any of the course material from the biology department.

Educate Truth Staff

These slides were taken from a presentation on “Genomes and their Evolution” from BIOL 111 (December 3 and 4, 2009).

There is no mention in this presentation or in any other presentation from this class support of a literal creation week, a likely recent formation of life on Earth, or any weaknesses with the mainstream model of the origins of these genetic similarities, or the likely mechanism needed to produce the functional differences.

This is a 94 slide presentation, and the following 11 slides (from top to bottom) correspond with slides 58, 61, 65, 70-74, 80, 89, and 94 in the original presentation.

Slides removed.
