Sad and discouraging story: Answers in Genesis conference in Florida<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rick Lindsey, minister of students at Hibernia, said over 900 were in attendance at the Aug. 28 evening session.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

In explaining the prevalence of evolution as the basis for education, Riddle offered an explanation of the scientific definition. He said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We must be discerning\u00e2\u20ac\u009d because although most of the criteria is not met for evolution to have occurred, it is simply not challenged.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Much to the delight of children\u00e2\u20ac\u201dof all ages\u00e2\u20ac\u201din the audience, Riddle showed humorous slides of various dinosaur shapes and discussed whether dinosaurs could have existed with humans on earth.<\/p>\n

Evolutionists would deny they could have, but evidence, and Scripture indicates otherwise, Riddle said. In one slide, Riddle showed what one of the long tails described would have looked like on an elephant\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand other large animals.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Commentary can be wrong and embarrassing,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Riddle said, showing another slide of engravings on a brass ring around the tomb of a British bishop believed to be from 1496. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The evidence is overwhelming at that point. It refutes the entire evolution story.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You rule out the truth if you cannot accept the truth,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Riddle said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You accept anything in its place. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what evolution is.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Riddle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s remarks prompted a member of the audience to ask, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it be illegal for a government institution to teach false information?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Not skipping a beat, Riddle said the institutions are covered by state laws and protected. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The government, basically, is at war with Christianity,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
