  • 4 Western Carolinian November 17,1994 Editorial The Back to Genesis Seminar: Who really was there? Obviously the reporter of the "Were You There?" article about the "Back to Genesis Seminar" wasn't there. A report such as that which appeared on page 8 in the November 3 issue of the Western Carolinian could only come from someone who didn't attend the seminar. In my editorial I will state why I feel that the author wasn't there, then state a few facts that are well worth mentioning. The reason why this article so infuriated me is that it contained very little truth whatsoever. I am the kind of person who demands to know the truth arid the reasoning behind it. My feelings would've been different if the article had appeared in the editorial section (where it belonged), but this essay contained too many inaccuracies to appear in the regular section of the paper. Most ludicrous is the seating capacity. How could the event bring in 25,000 people (a size near that of the Charlotte Coliseum) when the entire Ramsey Center can't even hold that many people? The theatri cal section of Ramsey that was rented out could hold 2,500, not 25,000. Also at issue is the literature that ICR (the Institute for Creation Research) brought with them. In particular is the "Creation Introductory Pack," a set of 6 books (one of which is The Lie: Evolution) which sold for $50, not $80 as the article reported. But a point more important than the cost is what is done with the money. If the reporter had attended the first few minutes of the first session, he would have heard Dr. John Morris (not "Dr. Henry Moriss") explain ICR's purpose in selling the books: The authors receive no royalties, but rather the profit goes directly to ICR to defray the cost of putting on such an event, and in the meantime, a truth is spread that needs to be told. Concerned Christians of Jackson County, the host responsible for inviting ICR, certainly didn't make any money, as they were still behind in raising funds less than a week before the seminar took place. Those who at- Were you there? The reporter's attendance at the seminar is doubtful, based on his article. Was anybody there when the universe was created or evolved? Obviously not. tended the seminar here were more fortunate than those who attended at most other locations, where there was usually a registration fee. Concerned Christians of Jackson County, however, decided to make this a free event to the public, an act of gratitude for which I commend them. Concerned Christians of Jackson County also tried to make the seminar seem a little less biased by having a debate. "What debate?" you ask. Exactly. Almost every professor (nearly 99% of them) in WCU's biology department and geosciences department were asked to participate in a debate. How many stood up for what they teach us? Not one. I must admit, though, that I am not surprised at their timidness since Dr. Gish is one of the world's leading creation debaters. I find it extremely hypocritical, however, that professors could teach something like evolution to those who can't or won't fight it, but are scared of someone who can intellectually argue with them on their level. Were you there? The reporter's attendance at the seminar is doubtful, based on his article. Was anybody th°re when the universe was created or evolved? Obviously not. However, God was there. But say for the sake of argument that you either believe in evolution or don't believe in God. If that's the case, attendance at the seminar would have been extremely helpful t< you. You could have learned the following facts, not opinions: Although no one can scientifically prove creation or evolution, all the evidence, bo biblical and scientific, so close points to creation. Evolution! not a science, but rather a religion just as creation is. Evolution is not a conclusion derived from repeatable, measurable experiments in thi laboratory. It is an idea, a waj of interpreting facts about the past, just like creation. I hope that all will consider these fad and reason through them. Iti time for all students to stop believing everything that everyone tells them. I also hope that in the future the Western Carolinian staff can report fact-based accounts of events here at WCU and not just insert editorials anywhefi in the newspaper. Sincerely, Philip Rash "rape! rape! rape!" someone was screaming in my dorm on Sunday night, it was late & i was trying to sleep, otherwise i would have ignored it. pretty typical around here. so i walked down to where the noise came from & asked the people inside (two men, one woman) if one of them had repeatedly yelled "rape! rape! rape!" the woman smiled & laughed & said yes. i asked them to close their door next time they decided to role-play so that i would not call the cops, they all smiled & laughed & thought i was some kind of freak. the next time i hear it, i will call the police immediately, i do not plan on walking around searching for truth. & i will not ignore it. the boy who cried wolf was devoured in the end. but that was because he did not live down the hall from me. in one of my classes, a woman-friend of mine was discussing a hypothetical rape situation, something that is hypothetical is a pretend game that you play to get a pretend ending, sometimes this leads to real-life conclusions, conclusions are endings. endings are final. she decided to use me in her example as a male-friend who went as bad as sour milk & decided to take advantage of her. i asked her not to do that. sometimes, pretend games hurt real-life feelings, but she didn't mean to. she was just trying to make a good point & wasn't trying to make me feel bad & i still love her. her point was that if she was sitting in an unlocked dorm room, no one would have the right to come inside and rape her. & her point was that if she was standing in public in her birthday suit, no one would have the right to touch her, or even say had things that hurt her feelings. i agree, no one has the right, but they would. people who cry wolf stand in front of mirrors all day. people who ignore your rights are the righteous. someone put up a flyer around campus that said that women who were raped deserved it because they teased the male anatomy, he used stronger wort reading level by erl than that butido not like to use those words, he also said that the women in scaar were lesbian people who had banded together to get back at men, and that they should not be allowed privileged access to male private parts. i do not understand this, i know women who have been raped, and they are not lesbians, they simply have cultivated a dislike for rage mongering dry mouth humping ignorant impotent alcoholic pieces of garbage, also known as "human shit." i said that in quotes, so it is ok. and an opinionated friend of mine has been receiving a lotof feedback from her opinions. opinions are things that people believe, they are thoughts, some people view them as weapons. she said she did not "ke rape & rapists & also did not like people who let rapists have their way with them and not suffer consequences. a man told her she did not know anything about rape and that he would show her. a woman told her that she d.d not know anything about the fear women felt, the fear that if they told, people wauld not* them. , people like the man wtio put up the flyer? people hke rapists? idonotknowwhatsn meant & i will not guess. everyone has the righ^ opinion. a no one has the right to** violence, no one has the rig destroy an innocent world- iamnotawoman&ic not speak for them, only y° speak for you. -va choosing silence is a F decision, justice differs beW the eyes of the victim and perpetrator, the p^wW^ one who performs the aa makes someone, you, a according to the sa^ that WCU sends out top students, no one gets rap i will believe this, i wi"D this, i will believe. j, because it hurts too"1 not to. . , merit. i will not pass juag i believe in karma- it is coming for Y0^ & it is coming for ■ i pray that we A* through our wolr-crie=> quiet tears.
