Doesn't Hugh Ross have a radio program? I also know that Chuck Colson
did a series using the book The Soul of Science by Pearcey and Charles
Thaxton, who is an old-earth creationist. Colson's radio program is
Breakpoint, and he regularly attacks secularism and naturalistic bias in
our culture. I have also heard of a radio program that was designed to
interview Christian scientists to be broadcast into the old Soviet Union
to try to tell the people there that Christianity and science are
compatible. I thought that the producer of those shows was an ASA member
and used ASA members in his broadcasts. Maybe someone out there knows
who I am thinking of?

P.S. Did you hear the Focus on the Family sessions with Hugh Ross and his
debate with Gish on one of their programs? Apparently Dr. Dobson is open
minded on the issue.
