hank you for your reply Mr. Gray, I've read your replies for years, and I know you are capable of very eloquent posts. It seems you might have gotten a little excited at Deepfat's return.
Respectfully I post:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_M._Morris
According to this Dr. Morris graduated from Rice with a degree in civil engineering and University of Minn. with a Ph.D. in hydraulic engineering. I work with hydraulics everyday and I respect a man who knows enough about it to have a doctorate. But how does this make him an expert on debunking evolutionary theory and establishing that creationism was the way it happened? The man is (was) an engineer not a scientist.
I don't post much so I don't know if this link will be active or not but you can google the name. I also know that some folks don't look at Wiki as a good source, but I've always found them to be fairly dependable.
Hi Kodachi,
You are right that Dr. Morris' Ph.d. was in Hydraulic Engineering. But, this was coincident with the beginning of his walk with God. This highly educated man devoted his life to learning about, teaching about, and writing about God and the works He has done.
I might use myself as an example. I have not attended seminary; however, I have spent over twenty years studying eschatology -- so, I feel comfortable leading a Bible study or writing about eschatology. I spent four years developing a set of eschatology charts which I use in leading Bible studies. I will be happy to e-mail them to anyone who asks. I also have several PowerPoint presentations on the End Times that I will share with anyone who wants them.
Dr. Morris spent more than fifty years learning, writing, and teaching about God. So, I would put this on top of his Ph.d. in Engineering and say that he was well grounded in science/engineering and in the knowledge of the Bible. I have some of his books -- and, one day, would love to have all his writings in my personal library.
By the way, I am not just happy to see Deep back on the Religion Forum -- I am delighted! Over the past three years, since his writings lured me to the forums -- he has given me many good platforms from which to share the Gospel. One cannot row against the tide -- in a still river. Deep is my faithful tide. Sorry, Deep, I know you are an Auburn fan. Maybe I should change that to "my faithful current" -- which I row against.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
