The Rev. Steve Kern disputes dino diets
Did the article say there were at least 1,600 people there on Friday evening? One of my good friends and fellow young Earth creationists, Tom Sharp, was a featured speaker.

Missing ‘the point’
I agree that some of the debate of evolution versus creation belongs in the philosophy class. I was writing about the science that supports evolution theory and the science that contradicts evolution theory both being taught in science classrooms.

Momentum ‘money’
The Committee for Oklahoma City Momentum’s “budget,” nor their agenda, certainly has not been covered by The Oklahoman. —Ron Ferrell Jones
