Noted Creationist To Address Wichita State University -- Feeds On-Going Debate For Creation Being Taught In Public Schools
WICHITA, Kansas, August 9, 2006 - /Christian Newswire/
-- Dr. Jerry Bergman will discuss the persecution
of Darwin Skeptics on the college campuses nationwide.
He has written extensively on the subject and interviewed
hundreds of professors who have been terminated,
some for being suspected of not whole heartedly supporting
macroevolution. Many have been dismissed, not for
anything they have done, but for who they are which
is unconstitutional discrimination.
Who: Dr. Jerry Bergman
When: Friday, August 18, 7 PM
Where: Wichita State University, Hubbard Hall,
Room 208
Why: To discuss the persecution of Darwin Skeptics
on the college campuses nationwide
In Dr. Bergman's book The Criterion he wrote
(paraphrased) "Dr. David A. Warriner, formerly
of East Lansing, Michigan, received his B.S. in Chemistry
from Tulane and his Ph.D. from Cornell and was close
to a second Ph.D.. He was invited to join the Natural
Science Department at Michigan State in order to
balance the evolutionists on the faculty. After four
years, his department head suggested tenure. Because
he had openly opposed evolutionary naturalism, the
Dean claimed that he had "damaged the image
of science" for the university, and so was dismissed.
He was able to find a teaching job in a community
college until he landed a position at a university.
This Cornell Ph.D. later experienced the same problem
at Eastern Kentucky University and University of
Southwestern Louisiana. He has now resigned himself
to the fact that, as an open Darwin Skeptic, it is
all but impossible to find a teaching position."
In Dr. Bergman's latest book The Long War by
Darwinists Against Darwin Skeptics he documents
hundreds of cases of blatant discrimination. This
book has not yet been released.
According to Dr. Bergman, the issue in Kansas is
not the age of the earth, but whether God had anything
to do with Creation. In some areas Teachers are not
even allowed to suggest that God was involved in
evolution. Atheistic evolution is all that is allowed
in some schools in Kansas. John Calvert ( jcalvert@att.net),
who supports a theistic evolutionary position, has
been heading up the Intelligent Design movement in
Kansas. Many in the Intelligent Design movement oppose
the conclusion that evolution can explain everything
and argue that God had something to do with the formation
of the cell, for example, but still hold much of
what evolutionary biologist's teach.
Dr. Bergman will also address issues such as the
DNA sequencing in T-Rex bones which would be impossible
if the bones were 65-80 million years old, as the
orthodox evolutionists claim. Using his extensive
experience in forensics, he can show to date even
an 80 year old bone can be difficult.
Dr. Bergman will also address certain biological
concerns which he believes refute the macro evolutionary
model as being scientifically valid such as Why Mutations
Cause Degeneration in Gnomes He will also show why
the Miller-Urey experiment does not support the evolution
of the first cell and, and will address the so called
biological "proofs" for macroevolution.
Dr. Bergman has nine college degrees including
two Ph.D.s, has over 700 publications including 20
books and monographs, and has presented over one
hundred scientific papers at professional conferences
in the United States, Canada, and Europe. He has
also served as a consultant for CBS News, ABC News,
Reader's Digest, Amnesty International, several government
agencies and for two noble laureates. He is listed
in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the Midwest
Who's Who in science and Who's Who in Science and
Religion.
