Moran does not mention the website by name. I guess we have some in our church that are “meaner” than those of us here? I wouldn’t have thought this could be possible!

Educate Truth’s purpose and goals

How much room is there these days for serious Bible believing people within our education system?[edit] The issues being debated here are central to our very existence as a church/movement.  

Aaron, There is lots of room for bible-believing SDA’s both within our Church and outside. I was educated in public schools up to college level. I went to a state university, majored in Biology with a Systematic Zoology emphasis.

I endured many classed where evolution was preached (yes, preached!) but had no trouble believing God’s Word. I wasn’t even baptized until I was past 20, but had enough actual bible study to know how to approach the evolutionary dogma without compromising my biblical principles.

Ironically, I found most of my profs much LESS dogmatic than some at LSU. When challenged, most evolutionists will back down, since they actually know the actual empirical (not Sean’s empiricism) evidence is embarrassingly lacking for most of the so-called “facts” of the General Theory of Evolution.


Educate Truth’s purpose and goals

ARE there any science professors who believe in creationism?  

Diana, Do you mean at LSU or in society in general. If the latter, there are many. Regarding the former, there are some that I have heard that do, but I don’t have any “insider information.

The Intelligent Design movement has quite a few, from numerous scientific areas. Some are “Christian” and some deny any faith. Any others want to comment?


Educate Truth’s purpose and goals
Shane, Great post summarizing what we are doing or TRYING to do. I agree the idea that some may be “nice guys” is a smokescreen issue, as is “LSU is doing some ‘nice things.'”

“Human reasoning” as a higher “truth” than God’s Truth is exactly what this problem is about. Those that choose this should not be teaching in our SDA Schools.

The ANN Highlights LSU’s Dr. Lee Grismer – An Evolutionary Biologist

Faith: Prof Kent:How do you figure that this site keeps biology profs with integrity out of LSU? Any professor that is following the Bible, supporting creation, and the SDA church has nothing to hide and nothing to fear.When you say “quality” applicants, just how do you judge their credentials?As far as I am concerned, it is far more important that these professors have a firm grasp on the teachings of creation and the teachings of the Bible than any credentials the world can offer. If that had been the criteria used as a guideline for hiring, we wouldn’t be in this mess now. And that goes for all our SDA institutions.

I agree, Faith. However, the type of leadership (Guy,Geraty,and Wisbey)LSU has had over the past two decades shows why we have evolutionists teaching “evolution as fact” at LSU and those supporting any type of creationism being intimidated, both students, and I would suspect faculty as well.

Does the LSU Board even care about this deterioration in our biblical beliefs. Well, their inaction, ineptitude, and apathy in finding any solutions tell me they don’t, at least the majority who control the Board.

BTW, If you’re a beer or ale drinker, the best are the “darker” and more “robust” varieties, as these have more antioxidants and phytochemical.

Or, you could just eat some oatmeal, barley, or similar whole grain!


Blasphemy of a Different Kind

Shane&#032Hilde: @Ron Stone M.D.: I agree. LSU has not been a shining light for our church. That’s unfortunate. That might be the case for other schools as well.

I have much more knowledge of PUC, and it has as many or more problems as LSU, although these have been, so far, ignored by most. PUC thrives on its “high ratings” from U.S. News and World Report, etc. But, it would get much lower ratings if someone knowledgeable from an SDA rating agency actually did a thorough investigation of the school.


[6/17/11 UPDATE] Two administrators, one biology professor, and one board member resign

Adventist&#032kid: @Ron Stone M.D.:Continue to believe that if you want. Not a scientific sample to say the least, but I just asked roughly 80 high school graduates from this year whether they chose which school they were going to or if their parents did. I didn’t even get ten who said their parents limited their choices or prevented them from going to their first choice.

I’ll continue to believe what I actually see and hear, not some biased opinion from you.


[6/17/11 UPDATE] Two administrators, one biology professor, and one board member resign

David&#032Bee: @Ron Stone M.D.: Tenured professors have a formal protective process before they can be terminated. Both resigned possible from their tenured positions as well.

Do you know this or just a guess? I certainly hope they’re gone from LSU completely!
