My Seminary invited the CEO of Creation Ministries Canada to deliver a lecture. Discussing it afterwards with the students, Creation Ministries lost their opportunity. It was not as I expected. I thought that the students might react to Creation Minstries' point of view on creation. Instead, they strongly criticised them for
(a) a lack of internal debate, and
(b) a lack of external debate --
which is to say, debate within their own argument, and debate with the students. One of the students said cryptically, "Maybe they think that Africans don't debate things." When the lecture was over, Creation Ministries left immediately, although they had personal discussions with students afterwards. OBSERVATION: I had other problems with Creation Ministries -- also not their point of view on creation. I teach the subject God and Creation, so had a direct interest.
