Church Leaders Affirm Biblical Creation

Seventh-day Adventist world Church president Dr Ted Wilson strongly affirmed the Church’s position that God is the Creator of the universe, as he opened a conference for senior Adventist educators in St George, Utah.

In his remarks, Dr Wilson emphasised the importance of careful study of the creation accounts in Scripture and called for Seventh-day Adventist educators to support the evidence for a literal understanding of Genesis 1-11, including acceptance of a short chronology and a global flood. He was not backward in stating that teachers in Seventh-day Adventist schools should stand up and be counted in affirming the biblical story of creation in the classroom. Dr Wilson was speaking to a group of some 450 leading educators, mainly from Seventh-day Adventist tertiary institutions around the world.
