A friend in Finland

I received an email from a good friend of mine who is currently serving the Lord as a missionary in Finland. Be sure to check out the portrait Jim did, which is shown below. Jim, I can't wait to see you in October, we all miss you, my brother!

I don't think he would mind if I shared some of his last e-mail with you:

Hi Al, I read your blog, but didn't read the other blogs yet. I will get to it someday soon. I just finished "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel. Anyone who reads that book cannot have any good excuse to believe in materialism or Darwinism, even many atheistic scientists admit Darwinism is just not feasible but they can't bring themselves to believe in a Designer. Strobel talks about "irreducible complexity", which is the idea that a biological function like the cilia which is actually a very complex biological motor, could not have happened unless all the parts of the machine came together exactly as they are to function as a motor, there is no way it could have evolved from a simpler design. There are literally millions of examples of these in nature. And he also talks about how the cambrian explosion of phyla, happened all at once, there is no gradual evolution in the fossil record. How did all that dna information get programmed at one time? Even Darwinists call themselves Neo-Darwinists now because they can't stomach Darwin's theories.

Anyway, having about 18 lessons a week which run from 1 to 2 hours each. I gave two guitar lessons today (Saturday). Also finished a portrait (I have to show somebody! - it's of a kid that was killed last year - friend of a friend).

I plan to be home at the end of October to visit some relatives and then hopefully get a teaching job overseas in the Orient somewhere. It's too expensive for me to stay here without a job and I can't seem to get one. Lord bless you all,
Your brother Zeteoan (Zeteon? - sounds alien) and your brother in Christ,
Jim
