Comment on Students and alumni sing LSU’s praises by Sean Pitman.

I like much about LSU too! I just don’t like everything. In fact, there is only one particular problem that I find worth mentioning, but that one problem is a big one. It doesn’t matter how wonderful LSU is in everything else it does if it has professors that are persistently attacking one of the main Pillars of the SDA Faith – the literal creation week in this case.

That one blemish is so major that it threatens to fracture the school from the Church – and perhaps more than just the school. That’s a very big deal and it needs to be effectively dealt with very soon.

The Michigan Conference realizes the seriousness of this one long-standing problem and has bravely stepped up to the plate to address it as best as they know how. The rest of us should support this effort.

@Adventist in High School:

I don’t plan to study biology, but I do plan to study my career choice in a environment where scientific consensus is studied, not ignored. I also would like to study in a Adventist environment, where the majority of professors affirm their belief in a all knowing God.

A belief in an all-knowing God is not part of the “scientific consensus” you know. It is the scientific consensus that such notions are no better than believing in Santa Claus or garden fairies as far as a rational understanding of the evidence is concerned. That’s right. The modern scientific consensus is essentially atheistic…

So, in order to believe in such things like “God” you’re going to have to buck the scientific consensus at some point. Why not start with a school that actually presents the scientific consensus and then explains what’s wrong with this consensus when it comes to showing very good scientific evidence not only for the existence of a Creative Power indistinguishable from a God or a God-like power, but very good scientific evidence that supports the biblical account of Creation as well?

LSU’s argument is, in short, if we do enough good stuff it’s Ok if we let our professors attack Pillars of the SDA Faith…

Review of “The Naked Emperor” by Pastor Conrad Vine
I fail to see where you have convincingly supported your claim that the GC leadership contributed to the harm of anyone’s personal religious liberties? – given that the GC leadership does not and could not override personal religious liberties in this country, nor substantively change the outcome of those who lost their jobs over various vaccine mandates. That’s just not how it works here in this country. Religious liberties are personally derived. Again, they simply are not based on a corporate or church position, but rely solely upon individual convictions – regardless of what the church may or may not say or do.

Yet, you say, “Who cares if it is written into law”? You should care. Everyone should care. It’s a very important law in this country. The idea that the organized church could have changed vaccine mandates simply isn’t true – particularly given the nature of certain types of jobs dealing with the most vulnerable in society (such as health care workers for example).

Beyond this, the GC Leadership did, in fact, write in support of personal religious convictions on this topic – and there are GC lawyers who have and continue to write personal letters in support of personal religious convictions (even if these personal convictions are at odds with the position of the church on a given topic). Just because the GC leadership also supports the advances of modern medicine doesn’t mean that the GC leadership cannot support individual convictions at the same time. Both are possible. This is not an inconsistency.
