Creationism Exposed: There has been an ongoing debate in America for the past 50 years or so as to whether to ditch the Biblical principles of creation in favor or evolution. The subject tends to heat up then fade away for a while then heat up again. Recently the debate has shifted as the creationism folks have tried to change the terms (something I abhor) and now call it intelligent design. Well of course its intelligent, its God!

Today I saw a terrific set of photographs on a new development on Mt. St. Helens. It is a rock slab that is coming out of the middle of the once mighty mountain, and the thing is growing at 4-5 feet a day (currently as I write it is about 300 feet tall). The thing is smooth on one side and jagged on the other. My guess is that there are thousands of mountain climbers all over the world who are already planning on climbing this new formation, regardless of the fact that it is in the middle of a VOLCANO! Okay, so it is not actually spewing lava at the moment (actually never did the last time, it just blew up, I was there!) Still, it would be incredible to climb.

But the issue of creationism is being played out right now before our very eyes. The old school evolutionists will tell you that it took billions of years to make a rock, but here we are seeing the creation story unfold right before our very eyes. So cool!
