RE: [asa] Creationism Conference

Hi Jack, you wrote:

Or maybe some of us don't know who the enemy is. The "enemy" is anyone
who causes someone else to reject the gospel message of Jesus Christ and
miss the hope of salvation. Recently I saw quoted that 50 to 90% of
students who attend college initially as Christians give up their faith
by the time they graduate. Why? Because many of those kids come out of
home schooling, or Christian schools or Sunday schools with their faith
intertwined with creationism. When their creationist ideas are proven
false in college they discard their faith along with the creationism.
My own father is one case in point.

It's not just what YECs do to science that galls me. They wrap
themselves in Scripture and call on a distorted interpretation of the
Bible to support their case. So they aren't the ones saying the earth
is young, it is the unerring word of God that mandates it! What would
you call those who trample the truth, push their own agenda and get paid
for it, and attribute it all to God?
