“America Is Doomed” If We Believe in Creation

In yet another ignorant editorial piece in a secular news source (The Rutland Herald, Vermont), we read such statements as:

It is profoundly important in a free society to respect an individual’s belief in the Bible; it just happens to be a lousy cornerstone for formulating a science program.  Increasingly, our on-again, off-again support for long-term commitments is pushing American involvement in major scientific efforts to one side. Why should Europe, China, Japan or India choose us as a partner when they know we're unlikely to see a 10- or 20-year project through?

This editorial piece is slamming the Republican vice presidential candidate because of her Christian views. The sad thing is that the author of this piece does not understand that the observational science that built modern technology came out of a Christian basis. I wonder if this writer would have slammed Isaac Newton had he lived in his time. Imagine telling one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known that his Christian beliefs (the basis for his science) were “a lousy cornerstone,” and no good science could ever come from them!

ABWE Board Hosted at AiG

Last night, AiG hosted a dinner for the ABWE (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism) board of directors who visited the Creation Museum and are holding their board of directors meeting in Cincinnati this year. After dinner, I spoke to the board members about the various outreaches of the AiG ministry and the relevance of the messages we bring for today’s world.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
