Subject: Creation vs. Evolution
Greetings to all of you who lead college Christian Fellowships or
participate in Christian Fellowships,
I am the Staff Advisor for the Christian Fellowship at
CCBC-Catonsville, and we have been having some subtle and not-so-subtle
persecution of students who hold the world view that the universe and all
that is in it is the creation of God. Our students have requested a forum
for debate between college professors teaching evolution and an academically
credentialed creationist. Well, we have found the man to uphold the
creation debate and his name is Dr. Kent Hovind. I just hung up from
speaking with him and he has laid out a challenge for us. He would be
willing to debate up to 10 professors at one time on two conditions: 1) That
he gets half the time to speak, and 2) Only one topic is discussed at a
time. The problem is, he has debated so well, there has been a dearth of
professors who will take him on in a debate! He demolished four professors
at Emery-Riddle last month. This is where I'm hoping you will help me.
Dr. Hovind would like for us (advisors and students) to invite the
evolution-teaching professors to debate him on a Tues, Wed. or Thurs. and he
will fly up to take them on. Are you willing to invite one (or many!)
professors from your college to debate Dr. Hovind? If so, we must arrive at
a common date, reserve a hall that seats 1,000 and prepare to advertise.
The Creation vs. Evolution issue has been in the Baltimore area news
lately because of the textbook controversy in Cecil County. This semester
would be a great time to have Dr. Hovind come and he is more than willing to
hop on a plane.
This is what I'm asking you to do. Reply to my email if you would
like
to participate in any way with seeing this debate happen. Give me a few
dates (preferably Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) that would be doable
for your students. If you have a hall that can seat 1,000 let me know that,
too. Make the list of professors you would like to invite to debate Dr.
Hovind. Do this by March 7th.
This is what I will do. Once we settle on a debate date, I will
prepare a letter of invitation to be sent to all of the professors whose
names you send me (I can send the letter as an attachment to you, or
actually mail an invitation to the address you will provide to me).
After they decline to debate (this is what Dr. Hovind says invariably
happens), I will begin advertising in newspapers and media outlets the date
and time of our debate (if it is going to actually be a debate), or I will
be advertising the lecture that Dr. Hovind will be giving with the list of
all of the college professors names of those who were invited to debate, but
turned him down. Either way, we will be able to broadcast far and wide the
truth of Creation, and at best the "wrongheadedness" of evolution (if a
debate) or at worst (if lecture) the cowardliness of evolutionists.
If you would like to speak with me directly don't hesitate to
call. If
you would like more information about Dr. Hovind I placed a link at the end
of this email. This email is going out to some of my personal contacts, the
Spring 05 and Fall 04 CCBC-Catonsville Christian Fellowship students, plus I
am sending this email to all of the Spring 2005 leaders of Baltimore Metro
Campus Crusde for Christ so you know who you are from the colleges across
Maryland! If you would like to forward it to other like-minded individuals
who you think would like to be involved, please feel free to do so. Let's
work together on this, and bring our Christian college students together as
we pursue Truth in academia in Maryland.
