Scientists, educators, theologians, and even state politicians have wrestled with the creation-evolution debate in recent years, but which theory is correct? Creation? Evolution? Intelligent Design? Does it matter whether the earth was created in six days or six billion years? Where does the evidence lead? Held at the downtown auditorium of ***First Baptist Church Jacksonville,*** the Demand the Evidence Conference will feature sessions on both science and faith during the Friday/Saturday event. Attendees will learn biblical and scientific evidences for the accuracy and authority of Genesis, the complex design of the human body, the facts that support recent creation, the flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution, and much more. Speakers include Dr. Mac Brunson, Dr. Henry Morris, Dr. Gary Parker, and Dr. Randy Guliuzza. A Q&A panel discussion will be held on Saturday. - - - First Baptist is the church that gave me the biggest laughs when I lived in the Jax area. It had its young teens publicly pledge vows of chastity, only to encounter a huge increase in the number of teen pregnancies a few years later. Huge church of simpies. Now, it apparently is funding an institute of cretinists, er, creationists. Why has every response to Harry's post attacked a person or group of people instead of debunking the statement, "Attendees will learn biblical and scientific evidences for the accuracy and authority of Genesis, the complex design of the human body, the facts that support recent creation, the flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution, and much more." Maybe you can't and that bothers you? While you take a moment out to consider that, could somebody tell me why these fundies always jump on Darwin? Darwin? Finding flaws in Darwin's theory and concluding that evolution doesn't exist is a lot like concluding that Franklin and his kite got electricity wrong, so today, informed people know that electricity is a false concept. It is, also, a well documented phenomenon that these poor kids, brain washed into taking virginity pledges, are just as likely to have sex as any other teens, but are more likely to do it without protection. That is sad and leads, for folks that young, to some devastating consequences that could very easily have been avoided..... Indeed. While I was still living in Jax, the local newspaper, a right-wing rag, actually ran the results of a study that tracked these local "virginity pledge" teens and revealed a much higher number of unmarried pregnancies, earlier marriages and earlier divorces than teens "exposed" to the sort of religious craziness practiced in fundie churches. |
