Comment on La Sierra University Granted Window to Show its Faithfulness to Church’s Creation Belief by Ron Stone M.D..
Oink: @Professor Kent: Hmmm. Now why would a well-placed SDA biologist who is not hostile to Genesis 1 sense hostility by, of all places, EduTru?
The “hostile climate” Kent is referring to is the attitude that our SDA administrators both in the educational areas and our Church must be responsible for doing their jobs, part of which is to foster, endorse (by word and action)and support our SDA biblically based beliefs in our churches, schools, and other institutions.
This is feared by most liberals and progressives because they wish to act separate and “free” from our denominational beliefs.
We see an egregious example here in the LSU Biology Dept. and administration. However, many other examples exist, the Pacific Union Conference being the major instigator for most,

@Charles, There are indeed many so-called “Christian” pastors who have bought a ticket on the “Evolution Express.”
However, I have never seen an actual large survey of SDA ordained pastors regarding their view(s) on this subject. Would the GC, NAD, or even the Pacific Union Conference be willing to do such an analysis, in order to see how our “shepherds” view this matter?
I have done my own “local” survey, and all the pastors say they are creationists.

Charles: So we are all on the same page? “TE and scripture are mutually exclusive principles?â€
I would say “yes.” However, many find it easy to “fool themselves” into the opposite view.

Professor Kent: Bob Ryan won’t do it, Sean Pitman won’t do it, David Read won’t do it, Shane Hilde won’t do it, Ron Stone won’t do it, Wesley Kime won’t do it, Ken won’t do it, Dawkins won’t do it, Provine won’t do it, Meyer won’t do it, Eddie won’t do it, and Professor Kent won’t do it.Okay. But millions of Christians do marry TE and the Bible. How sad that they succeed in such an illogical venture. Let’s pray for them.
They “succeed” by self-deception–the easiest deception in the world!

This is the typical garbage that has been coming out of PUC for many years. People wonder why our colleges are losing students, despite the fact that we take more and more non-SDAs each year.
My Goal for La Sierra University
The reason the LaSierra situation has gone uncorrected so long is that most of our administrators have exactly the sort of political instincts that Dan Jackson has. They are politicians and consensus builders; they want to keep the peace and make the trains run on time. But the circumstances call for men of principle, hard men who are willing to stand for the right “though the heavens fall,†i.e., regardless who is offended and loudly complains.
Dave, I agree with you. Jackson’s trying to play on “both teams” is not going to go well for him.
Unfortunately, politics is the “SOP” of many of our SDA officials, Jackson being just one. “Political instincts” are the rule, instead of actually doing what is “right” according to what we know in God’s Word.
Bradley, Beach and Kaatz retain attorney
Shane Hilde: Think big fish: LSU or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Graham might not have followed procedure with these men, but I don’t know what the procedure is. I’ve read what the process is in the faculty handbook, but I don’t know if that applies to administrative positions which are at will employees. If it does apply to them, then it appears the process was not followed.
Trustees book says, in 6,9,F, that the Trustes may “discontinue” virtually anyone working at the university.
Does that mean to “fire” or to “force their resignation? Seems like it does.
