CHARLESTON, WV, Jan.
26 /Christian Newswire/ -- CreationLetter.com is
urging churches to celebrate Creation Sunday this
February 14th to counter the Clergy Letter Project's
Evolution Sunday, scheduled on the same date.
As the Year of Darwin comes to a close and we enter the
Post-Darwin Century, CreationLetter.com is renewing its
efforts to answer the challenge the Clergy Letter
Project represents to the plain, traditional
interpretation of Genesis.
Since 2004, the Clergy Letter Project has been
recruiting ministers as evolution advocates, promoting
the idea that "religious truth is of a different order
than scientific truth," echoing an unBiblical notion
popularized by the late Stephen J Gould: non-overlapping
magisteria, or NOMA.
"Jesus refuted the concept of NOMA in John 3:12," notes
CreationLetter.com founder Rev. Tony Breeden, "when He
pointedly asked Nicodemus, 'If I've told you of earthly
things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I
tell ye of spiritual things?' How can you trust the
Bible for spiritual things like the Gospel for salvation
when you can't trust what Genesis says about earthly
things like biology, geology and so on? The Bible isn't
a science textbook, but if we can't trust it when it
speaks on science, when can we trust it?”
Nevertheless, the Clergy Letter has a list of over
12,000 ministers who affirm that evolution is true while
the Genesis record is a teaching myth like Aesop's
Fables.
"We don't follow cleverly devised fables. The plain
meaning of Genesis is clear: supernatural creation in
six calendar days. It's sad when ministers compromise
the authority of God's revealed Word in favour of man's
fallible opinions. So-called science advocacy [read:
evolution enforcement groups use those 12,000 clergy
signatures to allege that Christians need have no
problem with evolution. Yet statistics demonstrate that
most children who are taught evolution as scientific
fact go on to reject religious truth wholesale," states
Rev. Breeden. "That's a real concern. Nobody thinks of
eternity when they preach Darwin from our pulpits on an
Evolution Sunday.”
CreationLetter.com provides an opportunity for
Christians to answer this challenge to Biblical
authority and the foundational basis of the Gospel.
Visitors can sign a Creation Letter affirming the
historical veracity of a literal Genesis. They'll also
find information on how to celebrate Creation Sunday
this February 14th in place of the Clergy Letter's
Evolution Sunday.
