Subject: Phil Johnson on Focus on the Family
Did anyone get a chance to listen to Dr. Phil Johnson on Dr. James
Dobson's Focus on the Family radio show today? They basically
trashed
Darwinistic Evolution during the beginning of the show and moved
into
trashing Theistic Evolution and anything else that included
evolutionary
theory. By the end of the show they were accusing Christians that
work
in scientific academia as selling out to naturalism in order to
further
their own professional goals. At one point Phil said that the
reason
Christian higher education does not take a hard stance against
evolutionary theory is beause the parents of the students that
attend
these schools want their kids to go on to ivy league schools and
therefor must be educated in the secular theory of evolution in
order
for this to happen. They then went on to congratulate each other on
their recent publications.
So there you have it folks. Its the parent's fault that Christian
higher education is a selling out by teaching evolutionary theory.
Amazing.
