Isn't this indoctrination?

I sat in during a 7th grade social studies class today at Badger Middle School in West Bend, WI. The students are learning about "human evolution". During the class the students were to use the picture to the right and put in chronological order how "man evolved from animals". There were links to sites like the Smithsonian's, What Does it Mean to Be Human, page. The students were also told dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago during the K2 event in Mexico. One girl wisely asked the teacher,  "How do you know" it happened that long ago. The teacher said he wasn't sure; there could be more causes.
I say, good for that girl!! She wasn't swallowing the shallow statements.
Yet, the information was given with such authority;  no other explanations were allowed, and no evidence presented that contradicts what was presented.
One boy was making ape sounds during the class. I ask, if we tell kids they are animals won't they act like it? Yes, indeed!
I was not allowed to talk so I remained silent. After the class the staff member who escorted me to and from class asked how it went. I explained how I thought it went and asked him if he believed he evolved from apes. He shrugged his shoulders and would not answer me.
So, kids are taught as fact something the adults cannot even defend. Is this not indoctrination?

Why are kids not told that soft, stretchy tissues has been found in unfossilized dinosaur bones? That more and more scientists deny "Lucy" is our ancestor? That "Lucy" was a 3.5 foot chimp and was a tree dweller and not bipedal. That the bones found in the earth had no flesh or eyes in them but that artists make the bones look human? That it is a story made up to try and explain our origins without a Creator. That man evolving from a chimp through mutations and natural selection is mathematically not possible- and most scientists know it!

Well, as God grants us the opportunities we will continue to press on and speak the truth in love. Pray for us!

What's New for What's the Evidence in 2019?

For more than a dozen years we have participated in county fairs, the WI state fair and other outreaches around the state. Our booth has been the highlight of many fairs and we are told, "it's the best booth at the fair".
Now, we are working on a mobile museum called Genesis Walk Museum that will display the history of the world and mankind. Genesis 1-11 will be highlighted. The promise of redemption given by God to Adam and Eve will be the culmination of the walk. Evidences will be displayed on the topics of the days of creation, Biblical kinds of plants and animals, dinosaurs, earth's history, Noah's flood, people groups and more.
Having a mobile museum will allow us to reach more people and attend more events.

Please contact me if you would like to help make this happen.

2019

Waking up to the beautiful snowfall this New Year's Day 2019 reminds me of freshness and newness, and it reminds me of Lamentations chapter 3 and God's faithfulness:
 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
 It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

I always like to think about the pre-flood world as sort of a paradise, not Eden, but as much less harsh than what we live in today. No blizzards, no icy roads to travel down, no intense heat and humidity, food readily available, much longer lifespans, etc. Yet, as I read in Genesis 5 this morning, the text says that Noah's father, Lamech "called his name Noah, saying Out of the ground that the LORD has cursed, this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands"

Yes, life is difficult at times and we do toil to make a living and provide for our families, and "the world" bears down.
Find encouragement this New Year in the knowledge that His mercies are not consumed, His compassions fail not, His mercies and compassions are new EVERY morning.
Be thankful to Him for His faithfulness.

Happy New Year!

Speaking event in West Bend, WI

If you want to experience New Testament times simply go out and teach God's Word to our culture. It will happen! We are commanded to speak the truth in love. That we did Tuesday evening at the speaking event hosted by What's the Evidence? Some mocked and others said we will hear you again! I want to thank you all for praying for this event. We saw the Lord working. Here's a short recap: We were at the posted capacity of 35, plus the 5 of us from the team. It was a diverse crowd of Christians, college age, older folks, a current school board member, 3 former school board members, a friend who brought a young Muslim woman, 2 men who seemed to come just to be disruptive, and the local LGBTQ representation. Randy did an excellent job laying the foundation of Genesis. He used lots of Scripture about creation, mankind (male and female) made in God's image, marriage, sin and the fall, the promised Savior, Noah's flood and Babel. He put some science into the topics, and brought up racism, Darwinism and Darwin's ideas about women and the "savages", Margaret Sanger, evolution taught in schools and the icons of evolution and the hope that we can get back to teaching just science in school. He ended by comparing worldviews, Biblical vs Secular and how each affects how people live. We experienced that during the Q and A time! A lot to cover but it was very good!!

Yes, humans are fearfully and wonderfully made in God's image.

NEWS     CREATION SCIENCE UPDATE     MAN WAS CREATED DISTINCT FROM APES    

Unique Human Neuron Discovered

BY BRIAN THOMAS, M.S. *  | TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 06, 2018

With a new addition to the category of “uniquely human features,” MIT neuroscientists discovered a feature of human—not animal—brain cells. Certain human brain cells have much longer extensions called dendrites, and this research team found a uniquely human reason for it.

The cerebrum lies just beneath the skull. It has folds and bends. This largest part of the brain manages all kinds of information, and lots of it—even more than the entire internet.1 It interprets sight, sound, temperature, taste, and touch inputs. It initiates muscle movements. It stores and retrieves memories, helps perform reasoning, and stores intelligence and personality. Clearly, it does more than animal brains, but how?

This largest part of the brain manages all kinds of information, and lots of it—even more than the entire internet. 

Just last month a separate team reported the discovery of a whole new class of neuron unique to humans. They called them rosehip cells based on their shapes.2 We don’t yet know what they do, but since they make up 10 percent of our neurons, future research will surely reveal their important function.

Transformed by the Evidence

I have been fascinated by the stories of Christian scientists who once believed in evolution, but were, Transformed by the Evidence.
When I was in high school, and even microbiology in nursing school a few years ago, I learned that DNA was read in one direction. There was no mention of layering or backwards coding. Jay Seegert, a creation speaker, talks about the dynamics of DNA in one DVD.
And in his book Transformed by the Evidence, by Jerry Bergmann Ph.D he includes the account of Tom Hennigan, who is an associate professor of biology at Truett-McConnell College. Mr. Hennigan gives a stunning analogy of DNA complexity.
Let me quote what he wrote regarding the complexity of DNA. He explains that DNA is made up of "multiple instructions embedded within multiple instructions in multiple directions." He goes on to explain, "if you read the book from front to back, you would learn all about building a car. If you read it from back to front, you would learn how to design the electrical circuitry of a house. Starting in the middle and reading forward then backward you could learn a new language or, alternatively, if you began reading in the middle, reading backward, and then forward, you would learn calculus. The complexity is mind boggling and inconsistent with random natural process.

Yes, indeed, "In the beginning, God"....

Addendum:
This book, "Transformed by the Evidence"  has been so phenomenal! Men and women are coming to know Christ, or develop a deeper walk with Him because of the evidence leading to belief in a historical Genesis chapters 1-11. This is too good to not share:

By one contributing author, Jonathan Bartlett, "When I believed in an old earth, it meant that most of history was disconnected from the Biblical narrative. Now, when I think of the Paleozoic, I think of the onset of the flood; when I think of the stars, I think of the fourth day of Creation; when I think of the K/T boundary (the geological layer above the dinosaurs with very few fossils), I think about the end of the flood, and Noah releasing the animals to repopulate the earth. Christianity becomes not just one part of my life, and one part of the history of the world, but rather a total truth about the whole history of the earth."
