I have never subscribed to Time magazine as far as I can remember. In approximately 1997, I began to receive a weekly copy by an anonymous benefactor. I received the August 15, 2005 copy today. The cover story was "Evolution Wars: The push to teach 'intelligent design' raises a question: Does God have a place in science class?"

I did not bother to read the article. Time has already stated in a one page article earlier this year that Darwin got his evolution theory right. Time, of course, is wrong but with that position I didn't have a reason to read the article.

However, I think Time missed the real issue. If GOD created the universe, why isn't true science being taught in the classroom? Is it better to teach a lie than to teach the truth because it includes GOD? Science is supposed to be based upon truth. GOD is truth. One can not teach the truth and keep GOD out of the classroom.

Throughout the Bible, the WORD of GOD declares that GOD created the universe and all that is within it. "In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) "Pray that this will not take place in winter, because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when GOD created the world, until now--and never to be equaled again." (Spoken by JESUS--Mark 13:18-19) "HE (JESUS) is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn over all creation. For by HIM all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by HIM and for HIM." (Colossians 1:15-16) "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at GOD'S command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." (Hebrews 11:3) "YOU are worthy, our LORD and GOD, to receive glory and honor and power, for YOU created all things, and by YOUR will they were created and have their being." (Revelation 4:11)

In 2004, I watched approximately half of a PBS "Nova" program and then turned it off because of the lies being told. I wrote the following op/ed letter. Of course, it was not published.

How can anyone believe what is being pushed upon us as the scientific explanation for the creation of the universe? I watched the first half hour of "Nova" Wednesday night September 29, 2004. Putting it into terms I and most everyone else can understand, the program declared that billions of years ago, there were billions of letters. (How these letters came about no one can explain. Some claim the explosion itself created them.) One day an explosion ("Big Bang") or tremendous burst of energy occurred. (How that happened no one can explain either. Maybe someone lit a match. Wait. No matches!) The burst of energy threw all of the letters into space and gravity somehow, in one try, eventually turned all those letters into a Nobel Prize winning novel. Isn't that ludicrous? Yet that is what some within our scientific community want us to believe.

A basic scientific law is that one can not get something from nothing. Yet, the universe consists of more mass than we can calculate. Where did it come from? Either it was there before the explosion or it had to be created by the explosion. If it was there before the explosion, where did it come from? How was it created? Who created it? If it was created by the explosion or burst of energy, how was it created? How did all that mass get created from nothing? Give just one example where an explosion or burst of enery created anything new let alone the amount of mass that exists in the universe.

Another basic scientific principle is that a one time phenomenon generally doesn't occur. If it occurred once it should occur again. Yet, we have a one time major instance of creation and for continuing billions of years, nothing. Why not? Why was that one time so unique? Why hasn't the same process that created the first explosion, burst of energy occurred at least once more in all these billions of years? How did that one time explosion, burst of energy occur? What force existed to create it? Another creation problem. Even a burst of energy or an explosion needs a source. What was the source? Where did the energy come from? Now we have two creation problems. How was the explosion, burst of energy created? How was all that mass created? It can't just happen. Not scientifically.

A third basic scientific law is that processes are repeatable and testable. Has anyone at any time ever exploded some thing and as a result something was created (rather than a pile of junk). Test the theory. Blow up a bunch of junk and see if a house is created. Blow up a car and see if a car results. Maybe, instead of a car we will get two motorcycles. Maybe, a bike with left over parts. A house, a car, two motorcycles, a bike; all are less complex than our universe. An explosion, burst of energy has never created one of the above or anything else. Explosions destroy; they don't create. Yet some scientists expect us to accept that one explosion, burst of energy created (accidentally, by chance--no creative thought process involved) the vast, marvelously complex universe we have today.

Get real! Get honest! Stop trying to pass off a denial of GOD and HIS creation as science. GOD is the greatest scientist ever. None of man's efforts even come close. "For the foolishness of GOD is wiser than man's wisdom...." (I Corinthians 1:25a) To me, it takes more faith to believe the foolishness proposed in the name of science than it does to believe that this marvelously complex universe, that man still hasn't come close to understanding or explaining, was created by a SUPREME GOD. As an old story goes, man had finally discovered how to clone a man and in his arrogance challenged GOD to a "man creation" contest. GOD created a new man and began to leave with all HIS creations except for the first man. Man yelled for HIM to wait. Man claimed HE wasn't being fair. GOD responded, "Get your own dirt!" Man can't create without using that which GOD created. That which is created is done by a creator. An explosion, burst of energy created the universe. Ludicrous!!!

When scientists can answer truthfully and scientifically the questions asked, I'll reexamine the explosion, burst of energy theory. Until then, stop lying to us!!!
