President Barack Obama had this to say about free speech: "I believe in evolution, scientific
inquiry, and global warming; I believe in free speech, whether politically
correct or politically incorrect ..."
Kudos to Obama for supporting the First Amendment! However, if Young Earth Science (YES) is true,
then Darwinism in all its many splendored forms must be tossed out. In addition,
there are sufficient scientific reasons for rejecting the "climate disruption" movement. Writing in
2016, Anthony Fisher provided this keen summary of Obama's thoughts on free
speech:
For the better part of the past year, President Obama has repeatedly beaten this drum. He decried "militant political correctness" on college campuses as a "a recipe for dogmatism" in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopolous. He told a high school student in Iowa that he didn't believe young people needed to be "coddled and protected from different points of view." In an interview with NPR, Obama said, "unwillingness to hear other points of view can be as unhealthy on the left as on the right."
A startling law proposed in California (AB 2943) could
lead to the banning of Bibles according to a CBN News report. You can read the law yourself - note Section
1 point "r" in the light of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
Is there a chance that the young earth view will
eventually be banned in the USA? Recall
that during the Obama administration organizations seeking tax-exempt status
associated with the Tea Party, “Patriots,” criticizing the government or
Constitutionalists were subject to extreme scrutiny by the IRS.
What about so-called “net neutrality?” The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
attempted to control the Net in 2010 making an analogy with the AT&T phone
monopoly we suffered under during most of the last century. In 2014, courts struck down this push.
Now let's consider some of the evidence for a youthful
world. Chemist Melvin Cook (d. 2000) was
an explosives expert in the mining field.
He was a Nitro-Nobel recipient and won the Chemical Pioneer Award from
the American Institute of Chemists. Cook
was a Professor of Metallurgy at the University of Utah and published around
200 scientific papers. His
groundbreaking Prehistory and Earth
Models was published in 1966 (I own a signed copy).
According to Cook, high oil pressure is consistent with
YES: "... there are really no
completely impervious traps [e.g. anticline trap]; abnormal and abnormally high
pressures can thus only mean sudden deep burial not long ago." [1]
Let's continue with the oil theme. Crude contains porphyrins which as William
Low Russell explains, writing in Principles
of Petroleum Geology (McGraw-Hill), "... are complex organic substances
related to chlorophyll and hemoglobin, which are destroyed by oxygen and heat." Rapid catastrophic burial would protect them
from oxygen and if most rocks were formed quickly, this poses a challenge for
the standard geologic timescale. This
mainstream source admits that the source beds for oil deposits were formed quickly (see p. 11). Could it be that these porphyrins in oil were
protected from heat for millions of years?
We think not. Let us know your
