Creation or Evolution - Faith Mission
Date: Monday, March 13th, 2012 at 7:30pm
Speakers: Dr Marc Surtees, Paul James-Griffiths, Phil Holden,
Location: Faith Mission Centre, behind bookshop and cafe, 548 Gilmerton Rd, Edinburgh, EH177JD (Map)
Dr Marc Surtees will give an up-to-date look at the science (Marc's PhD is in zoology). Phil Holden give his personal testimony of how he changed from being an atheist/agnostic to someone who believes in the Bible's account of creation. Paul James-Griffiths, a former lecturer in ancient history will also give and account of how he came to believe in the Biblical account of creation.
So it looks like Marc will be lying about science and Paul James Griffiths will be just lying.
For those who don't know Paul James Griffiths is the one who made the others look virtuous and sane by doing a talk on the fruits of evolutions (and its roots in paganism and witchcraft - yes you heard right) where he blames evolution on a masonic plot to overthrow God and blames it for Kinsey research into sex in the 50s (how is evolution to blame - nobody knows cos PJG didn't explain) and the rise of single parenthood (hows it to blame there - well yet again PJG doesn't explain).
What makes PJG even thicker is he does seem to understand the inconvenient fact that we evolved into bipeds alongside having having increasingly large brained and immature, helpless babies which rather precludes mothers giving birth and both of them surviving totally alone ha ha. Evolution would have rendered them somewhat vulnerable.
And even if he doesn't believe in evolution that is what evolutionists think - making the rise in single parenthood to evolutionists something cultural rather than evolutionary in origin. So not only none of his business how others conduct their lives but also factually about as loony as it is possible to get.
Unfortunately I think even they've found his fruits of evolution talk too bonkers to remain. It looks like it's been removed. Which is lucky otherwise I'd have had to listen again and that would be sad for me. But guess its unfortunate for the rest of you whom I'm sure would have loved it.
Philip Holden, I assume will be talking about acquired brain injury?
And afterwards:
Celebrating Creation - Classical Music Event
When: Sat 24th March 2012 7:30pm
Where: St Columba's Free Church, JohnstonTerrace, Edinburgh EH1 2PW
Price: £6
Dovrak once said: 'I study with the birds, flowers, God and myself.' Observing creation often fills us with awe and wonder. From the vast cosmos to the tiny flower, a panorama of beauty and majesty calls forth creativity from all of us. For some that outlet is music. In this concert we will listen to music by the composers J.S. Bach, Chopin, Vivaldi, Mozart, Hande
Now for any other group, that would be a nice night out or social event. A night at a concert just to get together. Not for creationists tho. So great is their obsessions that even a night out has to be hi jacked by the book of Genesis. Not only Newton and Faraday but now Dovrak and Vivaldi have been co opted as science denying loons (wonder why Dovraks more famous pal Dvorak was ignored)! Better not try that with Morrissey!
So maybe next week the football? Ally Mcoist says 'I study with the grass, broken glass, tax forms God and myself'? From kick off to final whistle we can think of Genesis as we watch.
How odd life must be when everything single thing has to revolve around the book of Genesis? Bonkers or what.
Anyway I guess they're using a creationist calender - Monday is the 12th not the 13th. Or maybe just a creationist interpretation of the evidence from a normal calender? Who knows.
