But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that bought them,
2 Peter 2:1
"But the assumption that the events of the first week required thousands upon thousands of years, strikes directly at the foundation of the fourth commandment. It represents the Creator as commanding men to observe the week of literal days in commemoration of vast, indefinite periods. This is unlike His method of dealing with His creatures. It makes indefinite and obscure that which He has made very plain. It is infidelity in its most insidious and hence most dangerous form; its real character is so disguised that it is held and taught by many who profess to believe the Bible." Patriarchs & Prophets p.111 E.G.W.

| Oakwood University Professor Juliet Bailey-Penrod sees no conflict between conducting her research into cell biology and beginning with an assumption of a literal creation. 'We all have our biases,' she says, explaining how one can be a serious scientist and also a creationist. Oakwood University is a Seventh-day Adventist institution, part of the worldwide organization headed by President Ted Wilson who last week told SDA science professors at a gathering that believing in evolution was incompatible with being an Adventist. |
