I never attended a Christian college, though I looked into attending Christian Heritage University in Calif. (founded by the guy who wrote the Left Behind books) soon after it was founded because I wanted to become a creation evangelist. Funny, Gish at ICR told me to study biology at a secular college instead because Heritage wasn't accredited yet, and my criticisms of evolution would be respected more. So I did. I remained a YEC all throughout college, and only began having my first inkling of doubts after leaving college and reading "The Impossible Voyage of Noah's Ark" which is online today. So though I never attended a Christian college, I was elected president of the most evangelical group on my secular campus, Chi Alpha, and we stood out handing tracts in the parking lot and hosting a Chrstian band to come play, and witnessing and singing Christian songs in the quad. Much later I edited LEAVING THE FOLD: TESTIMONIES OF FORMER FUNDAMENTALISTS Best wishes in all your future endeavors! Ed Glad to hear things are going well for you!
