Re: [asa] Greetings from a new member

Welcome, David

I suspect you'll find many young-earth creationists at BJU. However, Fred Heeren, author of "Show me God," is a graduate of BJU and he's not a YEC. (Does anyone have a current email for Fred, or a link to his web site?)

Anyway, you'll find plenty of stimulating discussion here -- maybe not much that will influence your YEC friends, but a learning experience for you, anyway.

Subject: [asa] Greetings from a new member

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!
