That book did so much damage to the cause of Christ, caused so much rancor in the body of Christ, and promulgated what amounted to dreams and suppositions as gospel truth. I am sorry for anyone who believes the nonsense in that book.

And yes, I have read it.

So then you are comfortable with the idea that the Bible lies about creation and the worldwide flood?

(btw - I checked out your blog - really good stuff there!)

My testimony is at odds with your statement that this book and the works of Dr. Henry Morris did damage to the cause of Christ. I was raised in a liberal mainline denomination and grew up reading the evolutionary Time-Life encyclopedia set cover to cover. My faith was marginal due in part to the apparent discrepancies between “science” and the Bible. Consequently, I lived a marginally Christian life and wandered far.

It wasn't until I experienced a year of intense discipleship that included reading Dr. Morris’ writings, that I woke up and realized that true science (discovering God's works) and true faith (discovering God's Word) are perfectly synchronized. For me, the cause of Christ was realized as I now walk as a devoted follower of Jesus.

And really, isnt that the problem - too many marginal believers or pseudo-believers not living fully for Christ, sharing truth and loving the folks that are put into their lives?
