Re: [asa] Greetings from a new member

Welcome, Dave!

    It sounds like you're off to a fast start. I suspect you'll be having some spirited discussions with your colleagues at Bob Jones before you're finished there.

    God bless you and we appreciate having you on board.

  Hello everyone!

  My name is David Buller and I just joined ASA a couple of days ago. I am thorougly impressed with the goals of this fellowship and the Christ-likeness of its members. I look forward to learning more and contributing whenever I can! I just got my first issue of PSCF and I am thoroughly enjoying it!

  I am 17 years old and a homeschooled senior in high school. This fall I will be a student at Bob Jones University majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. After that, I plan to get my doctorate in Microbiology or some related field. (Any suggestions for grad school?)

  As for my beliefs, I am a conservative Baptist. I accept the scientific evidences for the age of the earth, and believe that evolution most likely served a large part in God's creation of His universe. I am very interested in researching this further, however. As you may have guessed, my church (which I am quite active in) would certainly disagree with the conclusions that I have reached. I enjoy all such issues that have strong ties to both science and the Scriptures.

  I thoroughly agree with Augustine's statement, "In essentials, unity. In nonessentials, diversity. And in all things, charity." I have read some of the archives and am impressed with how the ASA members act out this philosophy. I will certainly plan on being as active as I can in the group. I imagine I will also have a great number of questions, and I will try to keep up once I start at BJU!

  Thank you all very much, and I look forward to the discussions!
