Re: paleonet Living Pterosaurs soon on display

[Dee Ann Cooper <deeanncooper@xxxxxxxxx>]

As part of a class entitled "Science and Religion", I
took my Earth Science Education Majors on a Field Trip
to Glen Rose, Texas to view the dinosaur footprints
excavated there.  We also toured the Creation Museum
that you can view on this website.  Make certain to
click on the tab entitled "Evidence".  These people
are deadly serious.  A couple of months later a "Dr.
Patton" - a geologist with some very unusual
credentials - was sponsored by a local church to come
to Beaumont and speak to my students at Lamar
University.  I briefed my students extensively on what
to expect and what to ask ... and they did a pretty
good job, but this guy was good.  He used basic
geologic tenets and twisted them ever so persuasively
into "proofs".  I also invited a serious of pastors
from a spectrum of faiths to speak on the topic and
was amazed at the depth and variety of Creation myths.
 Believe that this is going on and believe that we
scientists need to put ourselves out there to explain.
 My Department Chair was one of those who felt that
even looking at this material or speaking to these
people endorses their work.  I felt that it is
necessary to inform our students (especially those who
are going to teach science in the public schools) what
is out there.  "Know thine enemy", for a Biblical
reason.  Subsequently, my Department Chair let me go
as an Adjunct Instructor (specifically because of this
course) and I.D. (also called "Christ's Science"
locally) is being taught in the greater Southeast
Texas area.  There is a generation of children coming
up who are so immersed and brainwashed in this stuff
that I fear that outcome as much as I fear the
products of those who are brainwashed radical
Islamists.  We cannot fix this at the University
level.  It is too late by then and they have been
briefed on the "heresy" they are going to hear from
the professors.  Equally wrong are the professors (and
there are several at my old university) who tell their
Freshmen that "everything you heard in church about
creation is baloney".
