Today, Jay Seegert from the Creation Education Center joins us in the first two segments to discuss the importance of biblical doctrine regarding the creation of the world. Does it really matter if we take the Bible literally or believe the earth is millions of years old? Does our belief in Genesis and creation affect our salvation? Most importantly, what does God’s Word say on the issue?

Evolution is often taught in public schools not as theory but as fact which is wrong. Vladimir Lenin once said, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” The success of godless Marxism depends on indoctrinating youth into worshiping the created (man) instead of the Creator. Well, our children are given to government education eight hours a day for as long as 16 years–and the seeds that are sown are well-grounded and watered in humanism.
NOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW WITH JAY SEEGERT:
We talk about the age of the Earth today… but we’re really not talking about the age of the Earth… we’re dealing with the issue of “ultimate authority”. Do we really view God’s Word as the ultimate source of authority or do we seek answers elsewhere and then turn to Scripture, trying to figure out what it really means.
Right up front… this is certainly not a matter of salvation! Our eternal security is not based on our opinion of the age of the Earth, but solely on our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, what one believes about the age of the Earth and the “days” of creation, will play a strong role in how one interprets other key elements of the Bible, including the judgment of the world wide flood and even the Gospel message.
It is important to keep in mind that for most of history, we did not have science… all we had was Scripture. It’s also important to understand that science supports the Bible.
I also believe that the “age of the Earth” is arguably the most misunderstood issue among Christians when it comes to the whole creation vs evolution controversy.
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 2 Peter 3:3-6
In the last segment today, we also discuss the National Day of Silence where public schools around the nation urge youth to remain silent for a day to support the LGBT cause under the guise of tolerance, diversity, and bullying. It matters how we define these and other words! How do we prepare our children to address this indoctrination?

Karen you are correct. The failure here rests squarely on the shoulders of those propagating the heresy, the pastors that allow it, and the elders and boards that do not discipline those wayward teachers. If the congregation can hear the errors , they should hold the pastors, elders, and boards accountable, as should the members of the congregation be open to discipline and correction as described in scripture. The problem today is that "church" has become a social happening, to meet and discuss life's issues……… They mock God with shallow entertainment that passes as worship, they twist the Word of God for financial gain, they want to be adulated and they seek the approval of men rather than God. This was clearly foretold in scripture, it's begun…..apostasy rolling into The Great Apostasy.
Sorry to mention this, but as we castigate the public school systems here, let us be aware of the fact that evolution according to the world's standards IS being taught in our so called Bible colleges across this country and it is unfortunate that when these young people come back to our churches, they are teaching the youth what they learned in their colleges of higher education. And when us parents point out that what they learned is NOT from our Bibles, their response is "Well, I learned this from my professors and they have a higher degree than you, so I will obey my professors!"
And also, I have sat in churches from the Covenant religion, to the Lutheran religion, to the Catholic religion, to the Assembly of God religion, to the Baptist religion, etc., and you will find many attendees as well as PASTORS believing in the evolution theory. Sat under many a pastor from the various religious sects who promote evolution from all different angles during their sermons, some even twisting the texts from a Greek and Hebrew perspectives to account for their old earth theories, as well as totally declaring that "sin" was in existence before 'the Fall.'
So, should be tell those born again Christians to 'get out' of these apostate Bible colleges and churches…….there would be a mass exodus indeed! Indoctrination? Check out what your so called Christian colleges and universities believe, as well as what your pastor and leadership team believes…..their answers may shock you.
A lot of theories has been proposed about the world creation, but no one knows exact how this universe come into being. Some peoples research on it and present different theories some peoples belive on it but one thing is common in all theories they have many flaws on it.

How do we prepare our children to address this indoctrination? Get them out of those schools.
Yes, Ron, couldn't agree more!! It is almost unbelievable that parents lament and decry such pagan indoctrination, but then do everything they can to get their children — entrusted to them by God — to the indoctrination centers. There are alternatives, many more now than there were decades ago, if parents truly want to protect their children from such damaging thought-control.
