At a conference last year, a Christian schoolteacher asked an ICR speaker if he was part of the Intelligent Design Movement. "No," he stated. "I belong to the Intelligent Designer Movement."

The teacher asked, "What's the difference?"

"Jesus!" the ICR speaker replied. "We know who the Intelligent Designer is, and we know about Him through His book."

"Stop the presses!" That was one of the effects of the decision of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) in Austin, Texas, on April 24, 2008, when the Institute for Creation Research Graduate School (ICRGS) was told that it could not move its 27-year-old Master of Science program to Texas, nor could it recruit students from Texas to apply to its California graduate school. Why?

When Bible-believing Christians who hold to creation are discriminatorily "expelled" from the academic arena, they can look to the Book of Daniel for encouragement. Why? Because Daniel was excluded, unjustly, from a government-sponsored conference of experts, and Daniel's God was the real reason for the discrimination.

What is a day? Inventing a timepiece requires intelligent design,¹ and the "day" is no exception. From the very beginning, Genesis 1:14 reveals, days were invented to measure time.
