The God of the Gaps

Peter&#032Cieslar:
@Ken:
The first ever cell to appear via eveolution, how did it get there? By mutation? Errrrrrrrrrrr I don’t think so. Mutation of what? Remember this is the first living cell to appear, no previous cells to mutate.It was designed.Also I challenge you to research the 1966 Wistar Symposium, held in Philadelphia – Mathematical Challenges to the Neo-Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution.

Another source of good information against naturalistic evolution is a book by Fazale Rana and Hugh Ross, “Origins of Life.” Even though they are not supporters of the Biblical account of Creation, they show scientifically and mathematically why life could not have evolved from non-living matter.


The God of the Gaps
@Pauluc, Regarding my “glowing peer review” I may not be a “peer” of Sean’s regarding his knowledge of evolutionary ideas, but I certainly can evaluate a great article.


The God of the Gaps

Ken: Re Sean’s QuoteHi SeanThis poses an interesting question. Why would an Intelligent Designer allow for any degree of non design by mindless naturalistic processes. What would be the purpose of that? Care to speculate?Your agnostic friendKen

Well, why did God design that we all would be different instead of all look exactly alike? What is the “purpose” of having so many different looking people on the earth?

NCSE Report: Adventist Education in the Midst of a Sea of Science

Shayne:
Why do accrediting bodies have the right to force religious universities to teach what they demand they teach? Is it not a violation of religious freedom to demand that evolution exist as the only exclusive worldview? Why have we given scientists the role of Papel See?

La Sierra is under no demand to teach “evolution as fact” as many other colleges and universities, SDA and non-SDA teach “about evolution” but do not teach it as factual. La Sierra WANTS to teach evolution as fact, and will do anything it can to keep on keeping on teaching it!


La Sierra Univeristy Fires Dr. Lee Greer; Signs anti-Creation Bond

David&#032Read: @Sean Pitman: There is certainly documentation somewhere of what the remainder of the bond funds was spent on. I imagine that the University was required by the bond trustee to document the capital projects the money was used on (because the funds could not be used for salaries or ordinary current operation expenses). So this is probably a public document that can be obtained through the freedom of information act.Also, I imagine that this information has been made available to the Board of Trustees and/or constituents, so if you have any contacts in those bodies, ask for the information.Keep digging, because you or Shane will find this information somewhere.

Dave, I agree with you completely. We need to have this investigated by somebody or some SDA group, preferably the GC. But, I do not think anyone there will step up to do it. So, we do need Shane, Sean, or someone.

Charles: the

Charles, I agree with you. But, this type of reasoning is very common among liberals. This past Sabbath on LLBN, John Jones and Ivan Blazen tried to convince Carolyn Thompson that sin is “relative” meaning that something may be a sin to one person, but not to another.

She questioned them, and offered examples, and they stuck to this idea.


Dr. Ariel Roth’s Creation Lectures for Teachers

ken:
That is why I remain open to scientific investigation of the concept of Intelligent Design. In fact, as many of you know, I have advocated for and agreed to support a Chair in Intelligent Design at any Adventist university. Strangely, not a single person has taken me up on the idea. Why?

Your agnostic friend
Ken

Ken, No “Chair of Intellegent Design” needs to be started, since our whole philosophy is of Intellegent Creationism. Nobody has taken you up on it because it is not needed. We need to have our SDA institutions supporting all of our beliefs, not just one “Chair”.


Changing the Wording of Adventist Fundamental Belief #6 on Creation

Bill&#032Taylor:
By faith you believe in creation and by faith you believe in evolution!!What do you want to place your faith in God or Man?

You are completely correct. Who are we to believe? God? Man’s “wisdom?” Liberals and progressives believe in human wisdom over what God has said.

We see that at La Sierra, very prominently, and they are PROUD of it!
