Report from VA meeting

18 October 2012

 

Hi Everyone,

 

Wow.  For everyone who was able to attend the presentation last evening by Dr. Charles Jackson at McLean Bible Church, you saw a phenomenal, engaging, funny, and informed speaker.  If you missed him, I hope that we can get him back to northern Virginia soon and employ a coalition of churches to get the word out.  Fathers, Mothers, kids (teens especially), need to hear Dr. Jackson.  Be prepared to have your socks blown off!

 

Thanks to Dan Callahan and his volunteers for hosting Dr. Jackson.  Thanks to Dr. Bob Scovner of the Frederick (MD) Creation Group for alerting us of Dr. Jackson’s visit.

Dr. Jackson in about 60 minutes delivered, hardly taking a breath, one of the most seamless and integrated weavings of real science and the Gospel of Christ I have ever witnessed.  His main theme concentrated on the lie of “junk DNA” and why the evolutionists are now “emperors with no clothes.”  He provided quote after quote, source upon source, from secular and evolutionary sources, the concerns and puzzlement of why the human DNA strand with its genome and chromosome attributes, is indeed all working and complex and the demonstration of a wise and intelligent Creator God.  The evolutionists are confounded and dumbfounded and left now with inventing new stories.  Dr. Jackson showed why science is on OUR side, not that of the secular evolutionists.

 

And he did all this with superb articulation, grace, and humor.

 

Until somewhat recently it has been chanted, and I’m sure you or your kids have read or heard this, that humans and chimpanzees / monkeys share about 97% (or thereabouts) of our DNA.  But Dr. Jackson peeled back the onion layer after layer and demonstrated why this is incorrect, and showed why humans have complex speech and articulation skills, and why chimps simply use ambiguous gestures.  There is no connection in the evolutionary chain – there is no missing link – God’s creatures are all specially created by Him for His glory.

 

Dr. Jackson is skilled and proficient in areas that today’s church member and Sunday School teacher (and public school teachers!!) should hear and see.  I hope that we can get him before a group again in the near future.

 

God Bless,

Mike Shelton
