Re:We are losing. Big time.

Sun, 18 Jan 1998 14:39:44 PSTMy last comment to the calvin.edu list was followed shortly by the
comments of Mr. Burgeson. My comment may have sounded a bit incoherent
if not desperate or silly. The reason, I now believe, is that I was
being affected by the same feelings Mr. Burgeson expressed in his own
comment. Let me explain. I do not believe at all that #3 goes on
quietly without much impact on "our" lives. I had just finished
watching the Science Odyssey Program and I was depressed to see how
facts were obviously incomplete and philosophical extrapolations
"supported" by science were irresponsibly made. No wonder the people
from ICR react strongly (not mentioning that they see the whole
controversy as an opportunity for evangelism). I don't know much about
ICR and, as fellow believers that they are, I don't necessarily know
that they are 100% wrong. But I know that atheistic evolutionists are
not 100% right and it bothers me when they present "theology" emanating
from "evolution" as a fact along with the "fact" of evolution. So,
forgive me for my silly and uncalled for question at the end of my
previous message. However, "we", and I mean the BODY of Christ, keep on
dividing ourselves up into ever smaller and less influential groups, and
that is something that grieves my heart just as much as it does the
portrayal of philosophical unrealities as logical realities discovered
by science.

PS: This place is like a magnet. Let's see if I can keep away this
time.
