Did you realize this is only gonna happen TWO MORE times and then not for like another CENTURY!!! ya, I know, crazy right!!?! (what can I say, I'm easily amused)
So, I'm back, we made it safe and sound. It was pretty much completely and totally AWESOME. I got to see soooo much stuff and learn all this geology from a creationist, Biblical perspective. We saw tons of evidence for the Genesis flood and Lake Missoula Flood (a HUGE flood during the Ice Age) and then of course Mt Saint Helens which was amazing. We went with a legit guide so I learned way more than the last time we went and we also like, took a hike down to the valley floor and saw the huge canyons carved by the 1982 eruption. There is so much more to that mountain...more like a crater now...than first meets the eye. There is a little museum there called the 7 Wonders museum where they present 7 things that Mt. Saint Helens taught scientist and are evidence for a young earth, the Genesis flood - basically, the Bible! It was soooo cool to learn it all and SEE it first hand.
The whole trip really kinda made me sad though because there are so few who actually hold to the truths that we were learning. I mean, most the world follows evolution blindly but there are Christians - CREATIONISTS - who don't believe in a young earth or a global flood. So many Christian universities are teaching a LIE and it makes me so upset. I mean, LOOK AROUND YOU! Creation is an open book for those with eyes to see. There are things on this planet that make NO sense unless you get the answers from THE BIBLE!
And then there are those who look at the fossil record and say that "it's obvious there are millions of years of fossils here so the 6 days of creation can't be literal"...ummmmm since when does the CURSED creation trump God's WORD!?!?! hello people! If the Bible says it is so...then IT IS! Just because the earth today doesn't seem to match it doesn't mean you change the Bible to match the earth!!! If I'm not mistaken...you'd be making a LOT of changes because creation is disintegrating around us but God's Word will endure forever so...what should be used as the truth here???
So ya, I'm kinda down about all this because there is so much truth to be seen if only you will look with the right pair of glasses - KNOWING the truth and finding evidence...not using 'evidence' to tweak the truth.
Hi Analea,
ReplyDeleteI haven't commented before but I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE reading this sweet little blog of blessing. I'm soooooo IMPRESSED with what you are learning at this FANTASTIC gem of a school, and am very much encouraged that not only you, but a whole pile of students your age, are being grounded on THE firm foundation!
I also understand your feelings of sadness as you learn, up close and in more detail, these wonderful truths and compare them with the woven lie that the whole world believes. It IS sad that we all see the same evidence, but interpret it differently depending on our world view, and which glasses we see through. But I am so thankful for this school you found, and I know that God will use your knowledge and passion to make a difference.
It's also great that you are blogging about all this - you have a way with words, Miss Analea, and you just never know who will be reading them, or how God will use them to inspire and speak truth into someone's life. :)
