Re: Re: [asa] Apologetics Conference

Who's the Englishman going? He wrote stuff like this;

"What then about the tsunami? There is of course no straightforward answer.
But there are small clues.

We are not to suppose that the world as it currently is, is the way God
intends it to be at the last. Some serious thinkers, including some
contemporary physicists, would actually link the convulsions which still
happen in the world to evil perpetrated by humans; and it is indeed fair
enough to probe for deeper connections than modernist science has imagined
between human behavior and the total environment of our world, including
tectonic plates. But I find it somewhat easier to suppose that the project
of creation, the good world which God made at the beginning, was supposed to
go forward under the wise stewardship of the human race, God's vice-gerents,
God's image-bearers; and that, when the human race turned to worship
creation instead of God, the project could not proceed in the intended
manner, but instead bore thorns and thistles, volcanoes and tsunamis, the
terrifying wrath of the creation which we humans had treated as if it were
divine. "

Does this mean that there are no volcanoes more than a million years old?
What then does he make of 60my volcanism in the Black Hills etc

I live in the area and McLean Bible Church and I have a long history (I got
the left foot of fellowship there when I was published in the Washington
Post in 1986) so if any of you guys are going let me know and we can form
group of interlopers and monitor this parade of ID guys making their pitch
for intermittant divine tinkering in the otherwise uninterrupted flow of
natural events. Or if you would like me to be an impartial observor and
report back then that's fine with me. (What's the symbol for tongue in
cheek?)
