I decided to open the Forums in response to what I perceive as an all-out assault on the creation viewpoint within our culture. I most certainly do not believe that I have the answers to the myriad of questions that can arise from a discussion of the creation/evolution controversy, but perhaps together we can both grow in our understanding i.e. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17, NIV)
We that profess to be Christians are called to be prepared to give an account of the hope that we have in Christ (1 Peter 3:15). It's my prayer that the healthy discussion of the topics in these Forums will better equip us to do that.
