Thank you for
coming to Batavia and preaching the creation seminar. I really enjoyed
and learned a lot from it. I just wanted to tell you a little story
about what happened in my earth science class last week. At one of your
sessions I got an evolution
is a lie sticker and I put it
on my binder for earth science, and so did another girl from my church
who is in my class. Well, we were learning about stars and the solar
system when our teacher asked the class if anyone could explain where
there is evidence about the big bang. My friends hand shot up and told
him there isn't any evidence because there was never a big bang. Our
teacher tried to back it up with "facts" but they didn't make
any sense. So we asked him why we had to learn about it, if it
wasn't true. He said it was apart of the unit and he had no choice,
unless we wanted to fail the state assessment. So we asked him
why we couldn't learn about creation, and he told us it was
religious beliefs and he's not allowed to teach about religion. So we
told him what religion and evolution was in the dictionary and that
evolution is a belief system. So he told us if we didn't think it was
right to learn about evolution and not creation we could go to the
superintendent and talk to him about it. So we were like okay that's
fine, and a few other kids from our class told us they would go too,
because they don't believe in it either. So after that whole
discussion he told us to take out our reference tables, and we flashed
off our binders reveling our stickers- what a
coincidence... Everyone started laughing- except our teacher.
So thank you again and I hope you can come back soon!

I attended the Creation Seminar in Madison, MS. I have a brother-in-law that has no religious background, very educated with an IQ of close to genius. He is not a believer, nor an unbeliever. We went two nights and met with Steve Grohman, one on one. Last night we were leaving the final presentation. It is hard to communicate the hundreds of hours that my brother-in-law and I have sat around talked about "God", Creation, mans purpose in purely philosophical terms. He really has a sincere desire to KNOW, not to be a Christian mind you, but to know. To put this in perspective, his sister is a Biology Professor at Yale. He left last night (Session 5), MAD that he had never seen this type of information. After years studying the debate, discussing, he receives science magazines and knows the evolutionists arguments. He left wondering, "How can we promote this to people like me." "Maybe I could talk to my sister about this." He is talking about the kind of advertising that could be used to attract people like him. ANY OF YOU that have this man coming to your church..... Some things I would say, Invite every atheist, agnostic, scoffer and doubter you know. Go to the local university and see if you can get him in there. Do exactly what he asks. Your people, if they will come, will continue to come to sit for two hours and listen and watch his presentation. His presentation is VERY GOOD. I saw his calendar and I saw that he was at a couple of your churches. ADVERTISE PROMOTE PROMOTE This is one of the Most Faith Affirming things I have ever seen in my whole life. You may ask, "So tell me Scott, what do you really think?" -Scott Phillips, Clinton, Mississippi Creation Science Evangelist... Steve Grohman speaks hundreds of times each year on the subject of Creation vs. Evolution in churches, public and private schools, camps, prisons and radio. Be sure and look at the conference schedule for a meeting near you! WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO BE ACCURATE AND WHY COMPROMISE MUST BE THWARTED? READ STACEY'S EMAIL:
My name is Stacey and I am a freshman at Eastern Nazarene
College, and a very good friend of Brook. {Brook is a family friend of ours.} Ironically though, she is not the one who told me about your
ministry. My roommate found your website while searching for some information
that would help me sort out my thoughts about my Ecology and Diversity class.
I am a pastor's daughter from Loudon, NH and firmly believe what the Bible
says is true. However, the conflict I am running into in this biology class is
that my professor, an ordained minister, is a theistic evolutionist. I have
come to terms with the fact that he and I disagree completely about the
formation of the earth and hierarchy of species, and I have resigned to
learn the information to strictly pass the course. I agree that species,
within themselves, will adapt to their ecological surroundings, but not so
much as to "morph" into another species entirely.
Lately however, we have been discussing the origin of human
beings. What makes this course so controversial for me is that my professor
uses the Bible in his arguments! Just today in class, he read the portion of
scripture about the creation of man (found in Gen. 1:27 and following) and I
agreed with him that being created in the image of God does not mean that God
has two legs, two arms and walks upright, but that we have a soul and have the
capability for emotions and feeling and abstract thought. That portion was not
the problem. What brought me nearly to tears was when he referred to Gen.
2:7--"the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living
being." My professor then continued by saying that man was created from
what already was ("the ground", more specifically monkeys and other
common ancestors) and that Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine Chapel
depicts God "breathing" life, or "being" (or
"soul" in the KJV) through the touching of the finger. I however,
firmly believe that God created us one of a kind, along with every other
creature on earth, and did in fact create us from the dust of the earth and
breathed life into our nostrils. To conclude his lecture, my professor turned
in his Bible to Gen. 6 where it begins to speak about the Great Deluge, or
flood, of Noah's day. This is the portion that really confused me. It speaks
about the "sons of God" marrying the "daughters of men"
and had children by them. First of all, who are these "sons of God"
and "daughters of men"? Secondly, verse 4 goes on to speak of the
Nephilim, the "heroes of old, men of renown." The footnotes in my
Bible give reference to Num. 13:33, which is the story of the 12 spies giving
word to Israel about Caanan. They refer to the Nephilim as "people of
great size" and the descendants of Anak. These descendents of Anak are
also mentioned in verses 22 and 28 of chapter 13. My professor believes that
these Nephilim are some other form of human, different from Homo sapiens,
perhaps Neanderthal (spelling?). To me, it would seem that these men and women
are just giants, such as the Philistines. Secondly, if they existed in the
days of Noah and the flood "--and also afterward--" (Gen. 6:4) how
is it that they survived the flood if every living thing was destroyed except
for those who were safe within the ark? This course is beginning to tear my heart
into pieces because I do not have any empirical evidence for
creation, only my faith and deepest beliefs. In this case, I feel
compelled to believe in what I cannot see or understand rather than the
scientific evidence.

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF "STACEY'S" OUT THERE! THIS IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. REALIZE THAT STACEY TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE ONLY AFTER SOMEONE STUMBLED ONTO OUR SITE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS. MANY "STACEY'S" (young and old alike) FALTER AND FALL VICTIM TO THIS TYPE OF UNBIBLICAL TEACHING WITHOUT FINDING THE TRUTH - AS A RESULT THEIR FAITH OFTEN FALLS TOO. THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT IF GENESIS CRUMBLES CHRISTIANITY WILL FOLLOW. HELP US TO SPREAD THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLICAL ACCOUNT OF CREATION, BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT TO BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO BE ACCURATE. Visit our fossils page! We have fossils available on our website. Where else can you buy fossils from a Creationist? |
