General Conference

Overview

As you mature, others will question why you believe that God made the world in seven 24-hr days. They'll tell you about evolution and "the big bang" and treat that as fact, and your belief as a legend. While experiencing this honor, you'll develop strategies and conclusions that will allow you to answer those doubts (in yourself or others) and learn the truths and facts that support a belief in a special creation by a loving personal Savior.

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

7. Attend a meeting on creationism sponsored by the school, faculty, Club, church, district, or region.

a. Prior to your attendance, write some of the anticipated doubts that people may have about a scientific presentation from a Creationist viewpoint. If possible, present them to a speaker or participant so they can clarify responses from a biblical and/or scientific basis.

b. As you debrief the meeting, share at least fifteen objections that can be made by the evolutionists for a creationists viewpoint. Share some of the biblical and scientific ways that you can refute objections.
