Time flies, or something like that.

I did not realise that it’s been over two months since I’ve written a blog. I guess that’s just a testament to how busy things have actually been. It’s seemed like one big whirlwind after Christmas break.

We just had the Science Fair at the school two days ago; which consumed most of my time because of reading and grading papers. It was the first fair for both secondary English teachers and the Science teacher.

The Science teacher decided to do the fair in a less conventional way and it turned out pretty well. The ninth grade class was the only class to actually do an experiment. The biology class did something very interesting (and something we could never have gotten away with in a public school), they were refuting the theory of evolution, even as far as theistic evolution (which is a load of lies too). The physics students wrapped it up with their topic of “It’s not Magic, it’s Physics” by demonstrating all kinds of things that represented different physics principles.

Along similar lines, the pastor at our church did a three week series in how theistic evolution is not possible because believing in one means you are disbelieving the other. Meaning, you cannot believe in something like the Day Age Theory and believe in the Bible, those beliefs contradict each other.

Pastor Larry did say something that I wish I would have had in college for one of my essays on creation verses evolution. He pointed out that by the terms of evolution this world we live in should be getting better; the people should be getting better, the planet should be getting better, etc. Conversely, if someone is to really examine the human condition it is clear that things are not improving, they are getting worse; thus proving the account of Biblical creation and the fall of man. God created a perfect world. Once sin entered everything started to decay, death entered the world.

I’m sure most people have heard that scientists often use canyons to help prove their theory. Which is a canyon was formed after water running in the same place for millions and millions of years. If one were to go look at the Grand Canyon for example they would observe that the layers of rock are fairly flat and straight. If the scientist theory is then correct, why are the layers straight? Why did they not erode away and become jagged and uneven? The answer is simple: it does not take millions and millions of years to create a canyon. This was seen by the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, May 18, 1980. A canyon was formed as a result of water, ash, and lava flowing over it. Are people then to assume that the only way canyons form is over millions and millions of years when this was formed in a very small window of time? Is science not about logic and being able to prove things? If a scientist discounts that, then where is the logic?

I would like to challenge you to look up the definitions of “fact,” “theory,” “truth,” “science,” and “religion” and form your own judgment.

I had no intention on going off on this when I first began writing this. This does happen to be a subject area of which I am extremely passionate. No, I do not have all the answers, but I am firm in my belief and have evidence to support it.

On the flip side to things, Matt and I are doing very well. He got hired at ICS next year as our Elementary ESL teacher (which is really nice because that means we will be on the same working schedule). His boss has agreed to allow him to continue to work until June (which is awesome too). And, the best thing yet, he does not have to go to PFO (training to work at our school) this summer since the last day of that is the day of our ceremony.

Until next time. . .
