Ancient writing before the Flood

This was my email exchange today with Lester Verigan:
Thank you so much for your comments.  God’s timing is always perfect.  I have had my jude3ministries.org website up and running for some time, but I am now seeking to launch the public speaking part of it.  Obviously, CRS, AIG, ICR, and the other big groups cannot possibly reach every church or youth group that can benefit from the creationist message.  That’s the niche I would like to fill.  My degrees are in Psychology and Human Relations/Counseling, so (except for some courses in Experimental Psychology during my Masters program), I am not trained as a research scientist.  My knowledge of the creation-evolution controversy has been gained through over 40 years of personal reading and study.  Your comments have encouraged me to not be intimidated by the “experts”, but to trust the Lord to use me.  Thank you, again.

Lester,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your article on the Tablet model in the CRS Quarterly. I just now got around to reading it. The tablet concept is new to me just this last year after reading Henry Morris book Biblical Creationism.

I think you made very cogent arguments for the concept and the reply by Anderson was lame. I am a rocket scientist and not a bible historian. I am teaching Bible studies and have taught Sunday School all of my life.

Your arguments make great sense and I applaud your efforts.

Thanks,
Charles

It is time I returned to posting to this blog. The current news on attempts to teach the truth in science education are in this news report today:

Arizona Parents, Teachers Blast Proposed Science Standards.

The Arizona Republic Share to FacebookShare to Twitter (9/24) reports that teachers and parents “on Monday rallied outside an Arizona Board of Education meeting, and then took turns during the meeting blasting a proposal to remove references to evolution and climate change from state science standards.” They also expressed “outrage” over a separate proposal by state Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas “to replace all the education standards for K-12 district and charter schools with a set developed by a private college in Michigan with ties to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.” Douglas “addressed the science standards controversy during the discussion of the revisions,” saying that the “focus of the draft science standards is not to introduce intelligent design,” but “rather to clearly define the strengths and weaknesses of evolution theory.” The state “board is expected to vote on the science standards at next month’s meeting,” but it is “unclear if or when it may vote on Douglas’ proposal to replace all Arizona standards” with the so-called “Hillsdale standards.”

It is almost impossible to present the theory of creation science in public schools today. But I am glad someone is trying. I appreciate DeVos working on the problem. Good luck and God bless.
