Harlan wrote: Why? Our hope is in God not people making themselves better. In Christ saving his people the glory will all go to him. The Puritan Hope was the spring of modern missions. What liberals held was man saving himself and gradually getting better. Like your comment, and your name. My dad's name is Harlan also. |

"Intelligent design holds that the universe's order and complexity are so great that evolution cannot explain it."Unfortunately it is simplistic definitions of ID like this that prompt many evolutionary hard-liners to stereotype we creationsists as worshippers of a "god-of-the-gaps". ' "Students should learn about the evidence for and against evolution," he said. ' Though I couldn't agree more, we must be realistic regarding human intellectual inertia and predjudice regarding prevailing ideas/opinions. Afterall, I doubt very much that Claudius Ptolomy and his ilk would've tolerated a serious consideration of the Copernican universe, had the idea been presented in his time. This whole struggle of ID/creationism vs. evolution is going to be pretty rough-and-tumble for some time to come, I think. |

'"The bottom line is that these young kids fought their way through it and ultimately were winners. And that's the message, that you don't have to give up. And you don't have to give in," he (Denzel Washington) said.''Echoing Washington's description of the movie as a "David and Goliath" story, Cynthia Bond Hopson, an executive with the United Methodist Black College Fund, proudly spoke of the support the United Methodist Church provides to black colleges. "We have moved mountains simply by educating people and giving them a sense of 'I can do this for myself,'" she said.' Even though I'm white, I have no problem with movies about black people 'clobbering' white people (be it debate or other forms of "combat"--as Washington's character describes debate), but at least give the glory to GOD (as David did when Goliath fell) for the victory rather than keep it for yourselves. Washington, Oprah, et. al. are doing little more than puffing- up their "brothers and sisters" rather than pointing them to anything greater than themselves (i.e. God)...which is why I detest movies like these so much. |
