“Here is an interesting quote from the article:

“In fact, there are 106 Christian colleges in what is called “The Christian College Coalition.” Five of the 106 hold to the literal understanding of the Genesis Creation account and 101 do not, believing rather in some form of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.”
This just goes to show how much compromise has crept into Christian schools regarding Genesis and the need to prepare kids to stand firm in their faith before sending them of to college.”  Admin

The Creation account in the Bible Book of Genesis continues to be one of the most hotly debated topics in our culture.

Nowhere is this debate fierier, than on college and university campuses. Even Evangelical Christian campuses, where one would think Creation was accepted without question, are engaged in polarizing deliberations over the origin of man.

Recently, Bryan College an Evangelical Christian school in Dayton, Tennessee, with a total enrollment of approximately 1,400 students, stepped onto center stage in this continuing debate

As a Christian school, all faculty and staff members must subscribe to Brian College’s 8-point Statement of Belief. Included in the 80-year-old Statement of Belief is a reference to the creation of man.

“[We believe] that the origin of man was by fiat of God in the act of creation as related in the Book of Genesis; that he was created in the image of God.”

To further clarify the college’s stance on the Genesis Creation account, the school’s Board of Trustees issued a statement late last month, clarifying the Statement of Belief.

“We believe that all humanity is descended from Adam and Eve,” the Board explained. “They are historical persons created by God in a special formative act, and not from previously existing life forms.”

Two professors at Bryan College have objected to being required to subscribe to the clarified statement of faith and have filed suit against the college. They state in their suit that their contracts are not being renewed due to their refusal to subscribe to the Statement of Belief, particularly the statement on the Creation of man.

Over 300 students signed a petition in support of the professors and a no confidence vote against the President of the college.

However, some Bryan College alumni say the school’s commitment to the biblical creation account is admirable.
