LSU responds to Michigan Conference
“Today, as members of the La Sierra University learning community, we renew our commitment to provide outstanding teaching in an environment that values academic integrity…”

How can integrity be equated with presenting theory as fact? Especially in the area of science? I’d call that indoctrination. Some of us have been questioning these directions and attitudes for about thirty years now. Some of the lamentable results of exposing our young people to strong, well honed minds bent on propagating non-biblical concepts are now coming to fruition in ways that leave many scratching their heads and wondering where did this come from? I don’t think it takes a prophet to tell you when you are on a road headed to a destination, you are likely to get there.

We definitely need to be redemptive, but we have a serious moral obligation to preserve the integrity of our educational system by dealing with this kind of thing. Kellogg stole the Battle Creek medical work from the church by declaring that it was the property of ‘the people’, or some such as I recall, and I can hear the same type of call from some of our educators in this–‘what right do we have to teach outdated biblical principles and only proven scientific fact when it contradicts the current politically correct agenda?’, etc.

I’d think we have an obligation to save our institutions for the church, there is no reason these people cannot find employment in a context that they can support and that can support them. My thinking is we’re given this philosophic progression all these years to come to fruit, so perhaps it’s time to be faithful stewards of the vineyard of the Lord. I’d rather retain my credibility with the Creator than with the mainstream liberal scientific establishment.
