Compromisers ranks are growing.

I have ordered this article, but a friend e-mailed me and told me that the
June 1996 Creation Research Soc. Quarterly has an article by Henry Morris
which severely chides Steve Austin and Kurt Wise for Kurt having said (and
I guess Steve not disagreeing) in an interview in the Bible Science
Newsletter that the Tertiary strata was deposited after the Flood.

Kurt wrote:
"To my knowledge, virtually all creation geologists accept the
entire Cenozoic as post-Flood. The real debate among us is whether
the Mesozoic should also be seen as post-Flood. The European
creation geologists tend to want to make the Mesozoic post-Flood,
whereas Steve, Andrew Snelling and I would put the Mesozoic as
Flood. I suspect the difference in interpretation reflects the
different rocks we, and the European geologists, are examining. So
Steve and I want to coauthor a paper with the Europeans, for the
next ICC, to sort that out."~Kurt Wise, "Speaking to the Earth: An
Interview with Steven Austin and Kurt Wise, Bible-Science News,
33:5, July, 1995, p. 17

Apparently Henry says that they are engaging in

"willful ignorance...backsliding...more distortion of
Scripture than any Bible-believing Christian should even consider...the
lethal danger of distorting the plain meaning of God's Word in order to
accommodate that naturalistic way of reasoning...verses misused in order
to sidestep certain problems in Flood geology; are we not in danger of
ignoring Peter's warning about wresting Scripture?" Henry M. Morris,June,
1996, CREATION RESEARCH SOCIETY QUARTERLY, "The Geologic
Column and the Flood of Genesis," "(p. 56-57).

It will probably take a couple of weeks before I get this article and
verify this.

Unfortunately, this is a good example of the fact that Christians can not
be free to question things within certain organizations. It is why I
would never go into fulltime Christian ministry. Ironically, in April, I
wrote Steve and told him I felt sorry for him because if he disagreed with
the standard Creationist view he would be out of ICR and I told him that
we both knew it. With the publication of this article I am wondering, If
Henry is against you, can anyone be for you?
