When I was a little boy, I didn’t know the difference between a cemetery and a seminary. But now I do.  he cemetery is where they bury dead people. The seminary is where they bury truth.  Take,  for instance, a guy named Yamada, president of the McCormick Theological Seminary. As reported in the November/December 2013 issue of “The  Layman,” this teacher of teachers, this preacher to preachers, says  that Genesis 2:18-25—in which God forms Eve from Adam’s rib—“is  not about a man and a woman.”  Oh,  no, says the seminary honcho: it’s only about God not wanting the  man to be alone. The Lord could just as easily, implies this babbling  schnook, have created for Adam a nice male “partner” to share  the Garden of Eden with. I ask the reader’s pardon for this absurd blasphemy: I’m only reporting on Mr. Yamada’s prating at the recent “Marriage Matters” conference sponsored by the  Presbyterian Church USA. The blasphemy is his, not mine.

He doesn’t  say why God decided to create a woman rather than another man—only that it didn’t really matter. Perhaps God flipped a coin. Nor does Yamada explain how, with only a pair of poofs for starters, God might have planned to populate the earth with human beings. All he says is that any old help-mate would do.

Gee, I wish this was a satire. But it’s not.

Surely there must be a few seminaries where God’s word is faithfully taught;
