Comment on At La Sierra, Biology Faculty Affirms Importance of Teaching About Creation in Curriculum by Wesley Kime.
@Ervin Taylor: Thoughtful of you to drop by again, Erv, this time to inform EduTru that it is the Genesis 1 Tea Party. We’d love to chat more but we won’t hold you up — we know you have to rush over to Occupy LSU.

At La Sierra, Biology Faculty Affirms Importance of Teaching About Creation in Curriculum
@ken: Ken,
Anent yours of this morning (10.23.2011, 10:53A), all in the same pot with you? Laudable Agnostic-Adventist [sic sic] Taylor? Laudable Gandhi Lama? Where’s Karma Dharma? Laudably quixotic Pitman? Laudably chortling Hawking? The usual suspects, diversity unequally yoked? Even waggish Wes? Must not ignore Christ, no, make that “Christology,” must we not? Exclude “disgruntled” Hiram Edson, indubitably?
But seriously, seriously, your computer won’t make question marks this morning? Sad; may I say tragic? Isn’t depriving an agnostic his question mark like depriving an “Occupy Cucamunga” protestor her protest sign or Erv his odds (“Scientific evidence is, oh, maybe 1.8% not inconsistent with Creation”)? A blogger his pixel? A brave new scientist his peer review? Darwin his Galapagos? And LSU biologist his gecko?
But seriously again, How could I keep from all this? What else did you sneak into that classic agnostic pot-pourri that sings and sighs and does not hiss?
Your friend unquestionably, questioningly, W

Dr. Walter Veith and the anti-vaccine arguments of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche
Informative and stimulating, but proceeding into more confusion. A veteran of Moderna vaccinations, I trust, hope, they are effective, at least until otherwise. The whole business, being part of End Times, is in the hands of God, not humans expert and as degreed as they may be.
Brilliant and Beautiful, but Wrong
Brilliant, beautiful, and so right! Speaking of your presentation at LLU recently. Great to see you and your family (especially my namesake, Wes. God bless! WK

@Bob Helm: Dr. Sanford is very familiar to most of us. He was invited to speak at LLU several years ago and I and a great many were privileged to hear him.
Evolution from Space?
Hats off yet again to Sean for pursuing this topic as a scientist should, no nonsense, and in it’s proper setting — as a revival of one of the ancient ideas recently upgraded as a desperate alternative to the increasingly compelling intelligent design data. I had occasion to review panspermia a few years ago and as is my wont I found it more amusing than scientific. If you would like what was intended to be a satirical response to panspermia and other related curiosities you could check out: http://www.iessaythere.com/black-hole-humor.html
Meantime, Sean’s article is of far more cogent worth.
The Sabbath and the Covenants (Old vs. New)
As he has done on this site many times, Sean in his line-by-line-item response to C. White (not EG or EB) has, to my mind, clearly enunciated the issue and resolution.
When all the hermeneutics, quoting, and arguing and inordinately judgmental riposte are over, it comes down, as I understand it, to two things: 1) Whether the 7th day Sabbath (whether enunciated in the famous 10 commandments or otherwise) is still valid, and 2) Does the grace obtained by the vicarious sacrifice by the shedding of Christ’s blood or other divine process too deep for us to understand in this life, cover every sin automatically and without ado, altogether passively on our part, or is it only on condition that we first totally and deeply accept it? Other details always hassled forever are distractions.
I accept that I must accept it, wholly, actively, even with agony, with my whole being.
