		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for that Mike. I was going to check it out on iView: except I don&#039;t know which program it was! Dickson is a Moore College man, I believe ... Another Moore man I know is keen on the evolution/creation fusion. Is that their bag at Moore?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One more comment - cognitive dissonance is actually distress caused by holding two conflicting ideas. I guess that means education in a theological academy makes one numb to this condition. Education in this case is intellectual morphine. Although it seems to spread to others, in which case it is leprosy for the brain.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ha! Dickson made out that the problem with Creationism is one of education. He&#039;s sincere and I have a lot of respect for him, but he&#039;s also too dumb to realize when he&#039;s totally sold the farm. (You can probably still catch Q&amp;A on iView at www.abc.net.au) Dickson was by far the smartest guy on the panel though. The others can&#039;t see how restrictive their worldview is, which is both frustrating and hilarious.

Any compromise puts us into the atheist boxing ring, on their turf. Genesis 1 as history puts them on our turf, on the earth that the saints will inherit, and under a very, very bright light. Their defense is just that old debunked ANE garbage. Here&#039;s somebody on their site who is, let&#039;s say, ANE retentive:

http://publicchristianity.org/library/the-lost-world-of-genesis#.USqksOVRF5c

It says &quot;from an ANE perspective&quot; but that&#039;s a lie. It&#039;s from a modernist perspective, one entirely given over to evolution, which, as my friend Tim Nichols says, is merely &quot;Enuma Elish baptized in post-Enlightenment balloon juice.&quot;

Anyhow, the lectures are very friendly and very helpful. And my sledgehammer intro did get around 4000 hits yesterday, so I figure it&#039;s worth calling a spade a spade sometimes. Though I won&#039;t go so far as Saint Nicholas and punch anybody out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks Mike. You refrained from expletives, but I sense you were close. I&#039;ll be listening with interest. I missed Dickson on ABC. What was the gist?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow. I must have been in a mood. Perhaps it&#039;s time to show less respect to these ideas that have no respect for the Word of God. Plenty of destructive nonsense comes wrapped in respectable academia.
