The recently published Adventist Review article on the proposal of six LSU science professors regarding the teaching of origins is very disturbing to me, especially where the leaders of our church seem to happily accept the proposal of the LSU professors to continue to do what they’ve been doing all along – teaching mainstream evolutionism as the only valid “science” or empirically-based position on origins while biblical creationism is defined for their students as a “faith-only” position without any meaningful or rational backing by science or empirical evidence of any kind.
The LSU science professors who signed the document, especially Professors Grismer and Greer, are the very same ones who have been the most ardent in promoting mainstream evolutionary theories as the true story of origins while telling their students that the Biblical account is hopelessly out of touch with reality – at least without the input of enormous amounts of incredibly blind faith. Greer and Grismer, in particular, certainly don’t believe in a literal six day creation week during which all life was created on this planet just a few thousand years ago nor do they believe in a worldwide Noachian-style Flood.

EVIDENCE FOR GOD vs EVOLUTION!! By Derrick Gillespie
PART 1
The origin of life is a mystery that is explored basically through two mindsets. One is the view held by this writer, that life was miraculously created by God, and has a purpose or goal, while the other is that of the theory of evolution, which postulates that life originated by chance, or by ‘accident’, and then developed by itself to the present levels of mind-blowing complexity, but unaided by any outside and supernatural intelligence.
Both viewpoint does appeal to ‘supportive evidence’ in the natural world, and, ironically, both require some amount of faith to answer several unanswered questions. But while people who believe in God freely admit to employing faith while appealing to some compelling natural evidence upon which to base faith, scientists seek to present their evolutionary theories as “scientific” and “factual”, and not faith-based. But as a teacher of Geography for over 20 years, and as a science enthusiast for much longer, I declare unreservedly that this is the biggest hoax of the century, and I will demonstrate why this is so in this series of presentations.
The theory of evolution, for instance, which is called “proven science”, actually lacks ‘fool proof’ evidence of an actual “first cause” which is accepted by all scientists. All it can prove is natural variation in the species (mutations; genetic anomalies), which is quite understandable; not new species being formed, or life originating from lifeless things in the first place (or ‘abiogenesis’). And so evolution theories , usually called “science”, are based in part on *seeming evidence (sketchy at best), and also on much ‘scientific philosophising’, ‘guess-timation’ and extrapolation, or the employment of ‘scientific spin’.
This author intends to show the rather shaky ground upon which evolution is founded, and I intend to show the ever mounting scientific evidence that supports the belief that God exists, and that he has been involved in the natural world since creation. I intend to use this evidence to debunk the “millions of years ago” fairy tales of the ‘theology’ of evolution, that is BELIEVED and taught by scientists, who think they cannot be refuted. It is my aim to not only debunk the evolution theories, but also show, in a reasonable way, why it takes less faith to believe in intelligent creation and in God, than to believe we are all here as a result of ‘blind chance’ or by ‘accident’!!
To prepare you for what’s to come in this series of articles from me, let me ask you:
1. Did you know that science has never proven scientifically that life could have originated by itself without a preexisting source of life?
2. Did you know that there is more scientific evidence available to show that the Flood of Noah actually took place than ‘fool proof’ evidence that evolution began by itself and is still happening today?
3. Did you know that new and mounting evidence is available that dinosaurs did not die off some so-called “65 million years ago”, but have lived side by side with man in just the last few thousand years? Did you know that this evidence is one of the biggest blows against the “scientific theology” of evolution?
