Report on the Leicester Creation Conference, 13-14 May 2005. by George Jelliss (GPJ) - Extract of.
Friday 13th 8:30 pm, Andy McIntosh: "Why Creation is Important". This was more an impassioned sermon than a lecture. The speaker's voice rose to its highest pitch when he declared that The Bible is Always True. Genesis is history not poetry. The world was created in 7 actual days, 6000 years ago. The most revealing point to me was an illustration of the Garden of Eden built on a charnel house of bones, to show that the Creation could not have been the result of prior evolution, since it was idyllic. It was only after "the fall" that death entered the world and animals became "red in tooth and claw". Precisely how this surprising effect of Adam and Eve eating the apple came about was not made clear. It was maintained that the express purpose of evolutionists is to undermine the Bible, because they are first of all atheists and secular humanists.
