I Admit my Personal Bias in the Creation Controversy.

Nothing is more important to me than the issue of where I am going after death. I have entrusted my ultimate life-truth, my eternal destiny, to the words of the Bible. While people showed me the way, all of the truths that I trust for my salvation are from that Book. So that Book has become the the truth-source that I trust above all others for all matters of faith and where it tells about history, or science or any other field of knowledge, it speaks truth. So I also trust it above all other truth sources to explain my origin and every other vital life question. Right or wrong, that is my Source. All my eggs are in that one basket.

The Bible claims to be God's own innerrant words and there is much internal and external evidence to support that. If the Bible tells lies anywhere, then how can I know where it tells the truth and where it does not?

So the Bible is my authority. While it does not contain all knowledge, it rules over all man-made knowledge. Whatever disagrees with Scripture, I reject.

What is Your Bias?

Can you identify and admit your bias? Everyone wears invisible tinted glasses —unseen and unknown to its wearer. If you believe you don't have bias, your blindness is complete. often we can know our bias if we examine the authority we have chosen to trust. Sometimes it is only with extensive, deep soul-searching and careful, honest introspection that we can see our paradigm.

The Bible is the Cause of the Controversy.

If we remove the Bible from the discussion there is no conflict.

A so-called Creation Debate in our city pitted an atheistic scientist against a liberal theologian who denied the Bible's plain meaning and made it say anything he wanted. The debate was comical. There was no argument—it was a lovefest.
