I have no control over that.

And guys, for the record, we could talk in tongues all day and night, but I want to make the point that I don't care how many people were going around claiming they were the "messiah."

If they were not born of a virgin, their chatta don't matta.

Is that okay with everyone?

Or should I believe differently?
Phtttttt.... believe what you need to.

However, am I underestimating the assault on Creationism from atheists who are hell-bent on undermining the Christian faith? Perhaps we need a Creation School? I don't know. What do you think?

A creation school is a good idea. Evolution theory does not just make an issue out of the age of the earth, but the theory is the focus point for an onslaught against all knowledge about how things are chosen in the universe. People should know how choosing works, the mechanism of creation. They can get direct benefit from that for their daily lives.

So what does that have to do with a definition of "truth" which includes Jesus?
Jesus is the chief cornerstone. All measurements in a building goes back to the cornerstone. No matter how big the building is. The corner stone sets the standard for what is level and what is plumb. Jesus came to set an example for us to follow. He went about preaching, teaching and healing the sick. We are to do the same, we are to follow Jesus in the example He set for us. Like in marriage Jesus sets the example for us. The husband is to love the wife and sacrifice himself for the wife. Jesus gave himself for the church. Even the husband is to love the wife as Jesus loves the Church. So the wife is to respect the husband. What we see with the reprobate is no respect for God and the things of God. Jesus was a carpenter and so to be true is a term for carpentry. It is how faithful we are to follow the example He set for us. So true means to be accurate or exact. So to misrepresent the evidence is not true. We remain true when we properly represent the evidence we have. If the evidence shows something is unhealthy and they try to claim it is healthy, then they are not being true. If science claims this pill is good for you and it does you more harm then good, then they are not being true. They misrepresent their claim. IF people say there is no God, then they say there is no standard to follow. They are not being true. Perhaps they do not understand the precision that God expects from us.

...Beg your pardon? At its core, the theory of evolution doesn't even make an issue out of the age of the earth! The earth could be 6,000 years old and species would still diversify through descent with modification and natural selection. Common ancestry would be considerably harder to account for, but the genetic evidence would still very firmly point to it. The idea that it's somehow an onslaught on all knowledge of god is, to put it frankly, a load of nonsense.

People should know how choosing works, the mechanism of creation. They can get direct benefit from that for their daily lives.

How long would you need to teach students everything they need to know about creation?

Teaching creationism (any kind) in a comparative religion class is perfectly fine: but to do so in a science class wastes precious time.

Why anyone even bothers to talk to creationists about evolution is beyond me.
They are never going to lean about evolution because they do not want to learn, they know that if they do they will stop being creationists.
Ignorance about evolution is the key to believing in their creationism.

No. There is lots to know about how things are chosen, and evolutionists generally use a wrong concept of it, and deny it altogether.

Creationism belongs in history class.

You misunderstand. Creationism is not science and so does not belong in the science class. It does belong in a comparative religion and history of science class. For what reason would you contest this?

Creationism is a man made view, mostly by ancient men from thousands of years ago. God's Truth of the Creation is actually written in Genesis and agrees in every way with every discovery of Science and History IF you have the proper interpretation. It seems that you do not. Amen?

No. Genesis is not an accurate description of how the universe developed. Genesis says that the water and the earth were made before the light. Ca. 377,000 years after the Big Bang the universe stops being opaque to photons and there is light in the universe. Until 560 million years after the Big Bang there were no elements (other than hydrogen, helium and lithium) to make up earth or water as the Gen 3 stars had not formed and supernova'd till then (to produce the heavier elements to make up earth and water.

This means Gen 1-3 is wrong.

All the best.

To understand how choosing works, as it is understood in law and government, and in religion, is not that easy. Without guidance, it is sure you are going to be wrong about it.

No. Genesis is not an accurate description...

This means Gen 1-3 is wrong.

The scriptures are Gods word. Literally God-breathed.
To say scripture is wrong is to say God is wrong. Impossible!
