Student comments from Univ of MD last nite !!

Dear Readers, here're a few comments from fellow-believers after last night's "bar-room brawl" of 200 plus. Q&A was rudely dominated by the (invited) members of the Freethought Society (alias, "we hate Christians" club -- sheesh, were they mean!). It might give you an idea of how these things go out on the battlefield in Jedi-Sith warfare. Love in the Savior, Dr Jackson

Hello Dr. Jackson! I wanted to give you a huge thank you for coming to the University of Maryland and discussing the evidence for Creationism. As a Catholic and an aspiring scientist, I love hearing talks such as these. Truth be told, I feel I owe you an apology on behalf of all the students that harassed you and were simply rude to you. I found the Q & A to be silly at times - people just spewed their beliefs at you, but nobody seemed to contest any of the 'big' things you talk about (at least the things I considered 'big'). I thought many of your examples were excellent, and was saddened to see other scientists simply refuse to extend their imagination and curiosity to the possibility of a God. Isn't that what science is about - curiosity and learning? I don't like that God and science appear to have split and become opposite each other to many in the scientific community. Anywho, thank you wholeheartedly for the talk - I really enjoyed the time I spent listening to you. Have a wonderful week! Julia, University of Maryland, Neurobiology & Physiology

Dear Dr. Jackson, I want to begin applauding your presentation at UMD. The atmosphere obviously became heated with Darwinist students and that one professor on the side. I was unable to express any appreciation for your presentation nor get your e-mail from you personally (I had to ask the microphone lady). You said you were a Bible literal and young Earth creationist. You briefly tried to explain how you fit your beliefs with current data about the Earth's history until there were more interruptions. How do you deal with the stress of these events? Obviously, the frustration was visible, but I think you maintained composure and calmness amidst some very irritated audience members. This is probably my most important question! I hope you are able to find time to answer my questions. Thank you, Nicolas, Univ of Maryland
