Re: [Cranach] Re: Creationism in the Academy

This is terribly embarassing since it comes from a Lutheran source. I'm almost as embarassed by the description of Timothy and Titus as "interim pastors" as I am by the twaddle about evolution. (But I'd never realized that the year was 360 days until 700 B.C. Has he been reading Velikovsky?)

  David, et al:
  Many scientists todday are rejecting evolution and its
  assumptions for a younger earth. The major problem
  with any age of the earth is lack of real SCriptural
  evidence for any age. We could assume the need for a
  young earth. That really isn't discussed. We merely
  say, "God created all that exists in seven days."
  They were likely longer than 24 hrs. (apporx.) since
  there were 360 days in a year until the time of
  Hezkiah. That doesn't eefct the seven days.
  The chroinology in many Bibles was devised on faulty
  assumptions by Bishop Usher. He used Biblical
  genealogies and assumed every generation to have been
  listed. He also assumed a length of generations. He
  has been proven wrong in several assumptions, thus his
  figure is wrong. So, we come back to the point, "Why
  worry about the age of the earth?" The point made is
  that we all accept creation. We need to teach and to
  learn that fact. We need to point out the fallacies
  of evolution as best we can. All needs to be done in
  a way to win people to see what is really true. ICR
  has its place. it does research and helps us to see
  the Creationist arguments. Other groups can enhance
  our knowledeg and faith. But, no group supercedes
  Scripture. No sicentific assumption supercedes
  Scripture. Science changes as evidence and data
  change. Scripture does not change. Let's get to an
  argument that helps the Gospel.
