I was flying back to San Diego recently, when the video being shown on the in-flight entertainment system caught my attention.

"There is no way the six days of creation are meant to be taken as six literal, twenty-four hour days," stated a Christian at a recent seminar.

"Why not?" I asked.

Someone at a meeting said to me "If you stand on the devil's toes, he is going to react. You people in the foundational creation ministry are really stamping on his toes. Be prepared for a major reaction."

Another year has gone by. During that year, whom did we allow to influence us, and what attitudes did we and our children adopt?

Whom do we want our children to be like? Who is a role model for our children? Do our children have heroes?

Recently I had the opportunity to speak at a Christian college where the majority of professors do not accept a literal Genesis.
