Let’s fight on, people. Let’s show the world how schizophrenic our church really is.

Are LSU professors breaking the 8th commandment?
Southwestern Adventist University receives frequent praise at this site to the neglect of other institutions. Sean Pitman, for example, has kindly informed us that Southwestern has an undergraduate Geology program.

The reality, however, is stated plainly in their bulletin: “Southwestern Adventist University, in conjunction with Loma Linda University, offers a geology program with major emphasis in sedimentology, stratigraphy and paleontology. The freshman and sophomore years are taken on the campus of Southwestern Adventist University, while the junior and senior years are taken on the campus of Loma Linda University.” Thus it’s a bit of a stretch to claim or imply that one can earn an undergraduate degree in Geology from Southwestern.

Loma Linda University is the only SDA institution that provides any degrees in Geology. It offers B.S. and M.S. degrees in Geology, and a Ph.D. in Earth Science. Moreover, the program is strongly committed to the SDA Fundamental Beliefs. Just trying to set the record straight.

I don’t think this letter is complete. I seem to remember seeing comments on the religion faculty specifically and other teachings. Why are we being given an edited version of this letter? Can someone please explain? (I’m going to look it up again at PE.com to see if I am right.)


La Sierra “outraged” over Educate Truth article
Funny how the know-it-alls (Pitman, Ryan) are quick to put down others by pointing out the assumptions made and their lack of calculations and references. I find laughable the assumptions these guys (Pitman and Ryan) make themselves without a single reference to back them up (e.g., “Chalk deposits were producing during the later part of the Flood”, “The period right after the flood was very warm, globally”, “In glacial conditions just after the flood — that cooling process would be many orders of magnitude larger than it is today”, “it did get cold very fast”, “The number of suddenly-frozen prehistoric animals in large massive burial fields such as Canada and the Americas suggests that the ice age is closely connected to the flood”).

I would love to see a population growth model that produced millions of mammoths from a single pair in the supposed short time between the flood and the quick-to-follow (or maybe not so quick) ice age(s). FASCINATING!
