Comment on La Sierra “outraged” over Educate Truth article by marc selivanoff.
In response to Matte Burdette….
i find real irony in Matte’s statements that scientists are “paid to do science” and that a scientist “must not approach science with any presuppositions” The truth is, we all approach life with presuppositions. Scientists do as well… those with Godless, evolutionary faith, rule out anything and any evidence that would point to intelligent design and Our Creator, and come up with theories that exclude the very One who designed and runs the universe. Evolutionary ideas are infact, ultimately faith based, as the ideas continue to change, and evolutionary ideas from the past, which were dogmatically held as proven fact for many years are discarded and “new” ideas which are diametrically opposed are held up as truth… this is not science, but faith… in fact, i have noticed over the years as I read news articles the frequent use of the words scientists “believe” this or that, or scientists “theorize” or “think” Or whatever… (all faith based words, not empirical scientific facts) scientific facts must be interpreted, and applied to a belief system, either one of Godless, mindless random chance, or seen in light of the marvelous design which is all around us for those who truely have an open mind to see…..
the real question is, will we put our faith in the theories of men, that change all the time? or in the Word of GOd which stands firm through the tests and trials of life? Each of us must decide for ourselves…
The irony is that we are even having this discussion at a Christian SDA school…. there are many fine schools where these theories can be studied and taught as fact. LSU and other SDA schools must insist that all teachers and staff agree with and teach a world view on this topic that reflects the Biblical, SDA view. Period… don’t agree, don’t like it, choose another school. that’s ok..
please don’t corrupt my alma matter any further with this…..
