Comment on LSU Board news release and actions by Shayne Vincent.

I am glad the board affirmed the 6 day creation clearly, though the biology department has clearly not changed their position. I am confused why political correctness would play a role in educating the youth in the faculty “with varying opinions” on the matter. Adventist education is not a place for varying opinions on basic doctrinal points such as Sabbath and Creation. It is a place for hiring professors that have a firm grasp of scripture as well as their discipline, not just a hiring pool for public education; therefore you hire the most educated or qualified, you hire the most educated and spiritually qualified- though I know that went out the door decades ago.

I am sad to see that even evangelicals support creation better than we do. Here, on the anniversary of Darwin’s book, Kirk Cameron and his ministry have released origin of species with a creation and gospel forward, may God help our arrogance: http://www.livingwaters.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=383

@Casey:

Why is Creation absurd? You presume too much. If we as Church members believe the bible, is it appropriate to call us ignorant? Or why would it be inappropriate to ask a Christian school to follow the Bible. If you want to believe in evolution, then go to a State university. This is a very simple issue and has nothing to do with ignorance and everything to do with integrity.

Why would following the Bible story of creation be unloving? This is a philosophical issue. If I were a democrat why would I join the GOP? If I didn’t believe the bible, why would I go to a christian school to learn about evolution? Get real people, LSU belongs to the church, not the other way around.

(Just incase you thought my comments came from Hilde)

Wisbey talks about LSU and what he wants you to know
such a “delicate” voice 😉


WASC considers outside efforts ‘threatening’ to LSU’s autonomy
The concept of academic freedom and autonomy is not in line with the purpose of the institution in the first place, they are not an autonomous institution, they are subordinates of the Churches mission to reach the lost by equipping members to be effective Christians and to also make a living while doing it; the original mission is obviously not the focus of our institutions and has not been for many decades, the real focus is what then?
