Skeptics Abound

Posted on Oct 28, 2010 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

Teaching about creation at universities is always “interesting” – and often challenging. It’s refreshing when honest seekers come to hear an alternative to evolution. However, sometimes these seekers seem to be few and far between (or maybe they are just not as “vocal” as the skeptics who come simply to debate). Somehow it seems to be a badge of “intellectualism” to doubt, mock, and blaspheme the God of the Bible. Sadly, this “intellectualism” is really just pride which...

In The Public School Arena: Highschool and University

Posted on Oct 27, 2010 in Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

In Harrison, NE, I had the unique opportunity to speak in a public school. Over a two day period, I spoke to four different science classes. Some of the students already believed in creation, so the teaching reinforced their beliefs, but others were doubtful, and so the information was a challenge for them to rethink what they believe. Many of the students also attended our evening seminars held at a local church. We appreciate the Christian teachers in public schools,...

After many excuses about the unavailability of any of the directors she was given a Visitor Comment Form to fill out with her...

Lectures at the University of Minnesota

So far things are going well at the University of Minnesota. The design lecture seemed to connect with most of the students last night. During the Q&A time, students did not really question the weight of evidence for design which was presented. One student asked how I explained disease or when things don’t work as “designed.” My answer had to delve into the Biblical perspective: There was a creation with fabulous design, but there was a FALL by Adam and Eve leading to...

Thank You for sending Us!

We are returning from a month of speaking in WY, NE, and SD. It has been a fruitful time of teaching and fellowship. While we were at Frontier School of the Bible in WY, we had the privilege of enjoying an Austrian breakfast at the home of Harald and Helga. They had come to the U.S. several years ago in order to thank Christians for sending missionaries to their country, which resulted in their salvation. Their hearts were filled with gratitude. While here, they heard...
