Greetings:<br><br>
Mr. Ford just posted that NSA will soon receive its accreditation from
the Transnational Association of<br>
Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). I'm afraid that it will not
be so soon as long as a third of their teaching staff still have only the
B.S. or B.A. Even TRACS, the lowest level Bible College
accrediting agency, requires that its instructors have the M.A.<br><br>
I did not attend the hearing, but if the description of Greg Dickison's
response is correct, then he has learned well from his Master's First
Rule of Argument: Don't respond to their arguments, attack them
personally instead.<br><br>

<font size=1>"Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any
system cannot be discovered by dividing it into its component parts and
studying each part by itself. . . .We must keep our attention fixed on
the whole and on the interconnection between the parts. The same is true
of our intellectual life. It is impossible to make a clear cut between
science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of
its various parts." --Max Planck<br><br>
