A Letter Written to Dallas Morning News

Hello.
Below is a letter written to reporter Jeffery Weiss, of the Dallas Morning News. He was the moderator of a "evolution/creation" panel discussion, which was held on March 11, 2008, at the University of Dallas. Coverage is found at: http://www.udallas.edu/ministry/evolutionpanel.cfm
Hello Mr Weiss.
I viewed the video of the one hour and 41 minute panel discussion, and may I say that you performed the duties of a moderator "very well".
As I wrote and told you earlier, there was no one present on the panel that could accurately represent the correct view of Genesis. Dr. James McGill misrepresents the Bible by saying that the scriptures convey "..a mess,... disassociated matter, turned into a life giving, life supporting world".
That is a position of ignorance. Where Dr. McGillleaves the realm of ignorance, and enters into the realm of false doctrine is when he says " the Bible denies creation out of nothing". He also makes mention of there being two "creation accounts" in Genesis. That is not true.There are no creation accountsin Genesis. Moses wrote what God had let him see while he was on Mt. Sinai in 1598 BC. Nothing in Genesis was written during the Babylonian captivity. That was another misrepresentation.
What Moses wrote about was the geologic history of Earth, because that is what God revealed to him. Nowhere in Genesis is there any description of the creation of Earth. The only description ofthe creation of anything, were the celestial bodies of our universe. Also, weCAN use science to prove the existence of God. Because it is God that reveals to mankind whatoccurred on Earth before modern mankind existed. Creationism is not the opposing view of evolution, but rather it is the "Observations of Moses". God created all science, and co-authored the book of Genesis. It is the public that is perpetually kept
in the dark, because they only get to hear the "skeptics", and those that are unqualified to expound upon the Word of God.
Finally, Genesis does not support any "young Earth" doctrine. Genesis states that there was mankind in existence on Earth before the advent of Adam and Eve. Bible scholars, creationists, and theologians, who do not understand the Genesis text, fail to convey the truth to others. That is why I tried to get Dr. Matthew Ogilvie to allow a Genesis expert to come and present the correct view of Genesis, but he refused. He, like most others of religious persuasion, don't want the truth to be known, for it would expose their own false teachings.
Sincerely,
Herman Cummings
