Re: [asa] Re: [asa] American Scientific Affiliation * Whatever happened to its mission?

A different aspect of where the ASA doesn't do what the Discovery
Institute wants it to is that the ASA deals with a variety of issues.
Claims from YEC and ID fans often convey the idea that the most
important thing to do is combat philosophical materialism (or
evolution). This can easily be a false gospel of the sort Paul
objected to in Galatians. It fails to prioritize faith in Jesus
Christ; it may condone questionable tactics that seem to achieve the
goal of attacking the perceived enemy. In contrast, an effort to
redeem all aspects of life includes dealing with issues such as
sustainability, poverty, environmental concerns, etc. as well as
thinking about origins and other issues.
