Comment on Deal with LSU by Mark Dix.

Until this evening, I was unaware of the teaching of evolution at La Sierra. This is an SDA university, and is answerable to the church hierarchy, notwithstanding the principal of academic or administrative liberty. So many of our pillars stand on our belief that our Lord created everything on this earth in six literal days. The sabbath being one of those pillars. Parents are sending their kids to this school, assuming our beliefs are being presented and supported by like minded professors. Folks in Calif. are sending in tithes, a portion of which helps support this institution. What further apalls me is the dearth of scientific evidence that supports evolution. YES, DEARTH….There is a plethora of evidence for creation that is observable, testable, analytically computable, and affirming in our faith. This is a project for the laymen and women of our church, starting at ground roots levels. It calls for our leaders, from Jan Paulsen on down to address this issue quickly and to be held accountable for a quick resoulution. This is an SDA institution. If certain folks wish to speak against it or to espouse ideas not in keeping with our beliefs, they need to be promptly and loudly dismissed. These professors can then take their atheistic ideas and go to a public college where they belong. The bottom line is we either support our beliefs and our mission to make God known to all, without doing damage to his character or we wittle our mission and purpose as a people down. This is a most sad commentary and should never have been allowed to get this far. Monitoring our schools for scientific and theologic error IS NOT a hard thing to do. Ask the hundreds of parents who sent students to LSU and knew these things years ago. Were the higher ups listening?
