RE: [asa] ASA members to speak at Darwin event in Dayton, Tennessee

Hi Ted:

Kurt wasn't "new school" when I debated with him for two hours at an ASA
meeting. His position apparently has "evolved" since then as he now holds
that the geological evidence points to an old earth but the Bible teaches
YEC, therefore he's a YEC. Wood can't "improve the position," he needs to
abandon the position. Print him out a copy of "Days of Creation: Hours or
Eons," and leave it with him with my kind regards. Oh, and don't let the
door knob hit you ...

Dick Fischer expressed reservations about the views of the sponsors of this
event. The invitation came from Todd Wood, director of the center there.
Dr Wood is, like his former colleague Kurt Wise, a "new school" YEC
proponent. That is, he recognizes that the YEC view is fraught with
difficulties and he works to try to improve the position by respecting the
real science that presents those difficulties.

Dr Wood is interested in having conversation with people like Steve
Matheson and myself, who would never be considered adherents of the YEC
view. I'm fine with that, and to speak about topics of mutual interest to
an audience that will probably be eager to engage my views.
