John Baumgardner, Ph.D., Geophysics and Space Physics, gave a remote presentation by ZOOM titled, GEOLOGICAL OBSERVATION POWERFULLY AFFIRMS THE REALITY OF THE GLOBAL FLOOD OF SCRIPTURE.
The vast lateral extent of sedimentary strata and a general lack of erosional channeling across layer boundaries point to global scale processes in the past radically different from the erosion, transport, and deposition processes occurring on Earth today. To deposit such uniform, laterally extensive layers with flat boundaries between them implies that vast portions of the continental surface were flooded by rapidly moving water and were nearly smooth. The water speed had to be high to keep sediment particles in suspension over such large distances. Further, fossilization generally requires that an organism be buried quickly and entirely, which is close to synonymous with catastrophic conditions. The ubiquity of fossils across the Phanerozoic portion of the geological record argues that this entire portion of the record is the product of catastrophe. These and other features of the record are consistent with the cataclysm described in Genesis chapters 7 and 8. This presentation will survey these observations and highlight the evidence that the cataclysm involved very rapid plate tectonics and rapid movement of
rock within the Earth’s mantle. It will also present the basics of the mechanism responsible for this cataclysm that involves a runaway instability in the mantle that reduced the shear strength of mantle minerals by a factor of a billion, led to a rapid mantle overturn, generated the entirety of today’s igneous ocean floor, and caused continental blocks to migrate thousands of miles across the face of the earth, all within a span of only a few months’ time. The still cool rock from the pre-Flood ocean floor now lies at the bottom of the lower mantle on its boundary with the outer core and is a prominent feature in all current seismic tomography images of the mantle. This mechanism is generally referred to as catastrophic plate tectonics.

During our August 6 meeting, Dr. John Baumgardner demonstrated that the thesis of Materialism - that particles in motion and the forces between them are all that exist - is falsified by even a single example of something that is non-material, yet clearly exists. The example Dr. Baumgardner highlighted is language.
Mathematics has been called, "The Language of the Universe."
Our August 20 program, the PBS Nova documentary,
"THE GREAT MATH MYSTERY" allows us to watch evolutionary secular scientists wrestle with cognitive dissonance in their naturalistic worldviews as they struggle to answer the question, Is math discovered or invented? Along the way, the documentary provides many mind-boggling incidences of discoveries in abstract mathematics, which led to predictions about the material universe - predictions that were eventually confirmed by scientific observation.

John Baumgardner, Ph.D., Geophysics and Space Physics, will gave a remote presentation by ZOOM titled, A LINGUISTIC ARGUMENT FOR GOD’S EXISTENCE. <<<< CLICK here for video - (Please be patient. Large file may take a minute to load. It is worth the wait!)
(This lecture was based on a 2015 paper by the same name found here - https://www.etsjets.org/files/JETS-PDFs/58/58-4/JETS_58-4_771-86_Baumgardner&Lyon.pdf )
Philosophical materialism is predicated on the claim that no non-material realities exist. Hence, a single substantive counterexample of this foundational truth claim falsifies that framework.
A category of reality which plays a huge role in the world around us is that of formal language. Formal language involves the assignment of snippets of meaning to a set of arbitrary symbols to form a vocabulary. It further involves a set of rules by which elements from the vocabulary may be joined together to form more complex meaning structures. Formal language includes not only human languages but also machine languages, mathematics, and the genetic specifications found in the DNA of living organisms.
Formal language in its ultimate essence is nothing more than encoded meaning. Because meaning is abstract and non-material, so is formal language in all its diverse expressions. Formal language plays such prominent roles in the world around us that it is impossible to argue that it is not real. Living systems are unthinkable apart from the non-material linguistic specifications on which they rely. Our thoughts and communications with others are also manifestations of non-material formal language but nonetheless are indisputably real. Thus, the claim that non-material realities do not exist is easy to demonstrate to be false. Because matter shows no innate ability to assign meaning to symbols or to manipulate such symbols, linguistic entities require a non-material source. The only candidate source is mind. The size and complexity of the linguistic structures on which living organisms rely demand a mind
for which there is but one viable candidate, the God of the Bible.

Brief Personal History
After graduating from high school, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Texas Tech and then a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Princeton. But the most significant happening in my life before or since was my conversion to Christ through a verse-by-verse study of the gospel of John in a college Sunday school class in 1970. I liken this event to a curtain being pulled back on a dimension of reality I had earlier not even suspected to exist. Christ has since made my life an incredibly exciting and fulfilling experience—way beyond anything I otherwise might have imagined.
Soon after my conversion I began a four-year tour of active duty in the U. S. Air Force, a time of exciting and deep spiritual growth. A desire for Christian ministry then led me to join the campus ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Grieved by the deliberate use of evolution to assault and destroy the faith of Christian college students that I observed on the campus where I served, I began to present classroom lectures and evening forums to expose evolution’s fraudulent claims. In researching issues relating to the Genesis Flood and earth history in preparation for some of these events, I realized that Noah’s Flood logically involved planetary scale tectonic catastrophe. This awareness prompted me to leave Campus Crusade in 1978 to begin a Ph.D. program in geophysics at UCLA to obtain the training and credentials specifically to address the problem of the mechanism of the Genesis Flood at a professional scientific level. My Ph.D. thesis research involved the development of a 3-D spherical finite element model for the earth’s mantle, a program now known as TERRA. Most of this thesis research I conducted at Los Alamos National Laboratory. I completed my Ph.D. from UCLA in geophysics and space physics in 1983.
Between 1984 and 2004 I served as a staff scientist in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos where, in addition to other computational fluid dynamics research, I was able to continue my research in planetary mantle dynamics, including the potential for catastrophic mantle overturn. I have presented my research results on catastrophic plate tectonics as the mechanism for Noah’s Flood at seven International Conferences on Creationism held in Pittsburgh beginning in 1986. Between 1997 and 2005 I served as a member of the Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth (RATE) team that uncovered strong radioisotope evidence that the earth is thousands, not billions, of years old. One such line of evidence is the retention in zircon crystals in granite of more than a billion years’ worth, at present rates of decay, of radiogenic helium. Diffusion limits the lifetime of helium in these zircon crystals to only a few thousand years. Another line of evidence for a youthful earth was our discovery of C-14 in natural diamond.
Between 2005 and 2008 I served as a full-time staff scientist at the Institute for Creation Research in Santee, California. Much of my work there involved, as part of a small team, the development of Mendel’s Accountant, a state-of-the-art population genetics program for studying issues of mutation and selection in natural populations. This software shows, with no room for uncertainty, that natural selection does not and cannot deliver the miraculous results that evolutionists routinely attribute to it. Since 2008 I have been a senior research associate with Logos Research Associates (http://www.logosresearchassociates.org) where I continue to research topics relating to earth history and Scripture. In addition, from 2014 to 2018 I served as an adjunct faculty member at Southern California Seminary located in El Cajon, California, in its Center for Creation Studies. I currently serve as research professor emeritus in the School of Engineering at Liberty University. My wife Mary and I reside near Lynchburg, Virginia.
Highlights of My Technical Career
• As a project officer during four years of active duty at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, Kirtland AFB, NM, I had responsibilities in the design of the resonator optics for a large, classified CO2 gas dynamics laser that was later built and flown in the Airborne Laser Laboratory, a refitted KC-135 aircraft. As part of this effort I developed a 3D optics/power extraction code that solved the gas kinetics rate equations in the supersonic flow where the lasing and power extraction occurred and computed the optical quality of output beam as affected by shocks in the supersonic flow. The laser performed according to specs and successfully demonstrated the capability from an airborne platform to destroy incoming missiles.
• As part of my Ph.D. thesis research at UCLA I developed the 3-D spherical code now known as TERRA for modeling the dynamics of planetary mantles. This code utilized the then newly discovered multigrid method for solving the large elliptic systems of equations arising in this application. The efficiency of multigrid plus the advantages of the almost uniform icosahedral grid made such 3-D calculations feasible for the first time. This code was the first 3-D spherical code of its kind and continues almost 30 years later to be the state of the art and used by several research groups around the world. One example is the research collaboration with Prof. Uwe Walzer and his geodynamics group at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany. The many diverse applications of TERRA by this group and the resulting publications may be found at www.geodyn.uni-jena.de. Another example of TERRA’s ongoing application is the research by Prof. Hans-Peter Bunge and his geodynamics group at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany. Their publications can be found at https://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/Members/bunge.
• During my 20 years in a computational fluid dynamics research group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, I was one of the main developers of the Pagosa code, a massively parallel multi-material Eulerian code that tracked material interfaces cell by cell in a robust high-order manner. The unique ability of this code at that time to treat a DOE mission-critical weapons application earned our team a Distinguished Performance Award in 1991.
• While at Los Alamos, I assisted the German Weather Service 1995-1999 in applying icosahedral grid techniques for modeling fluid flow on the sphere to the task of developing their next-generation weather forecast model named GME, a model that became operational in 2000 and is currently used in more than 20 countries.
• In 1996 I was part of a team of earth scientists who wrote a successful proposal for NASA’s High Performance Computing and Communication Initiative Round 2. This $1.3M award supported TERRA research from 1997-2000 and significantly advanced TERRA’s abilities. TERRA readily achieved NASA’s Round 2 massively parallel computing benchmarks.
• Also at Los Alamos, I was part of the ocean modeling team that developed the POP global ocean model, which is the ocean component of the NCAR Community Climate System Model, one of the two main U.S. climate models.
• During my tenure at Los Alamos, I supervised several graduate students who utilized my Terra mantle dynamics code for their Ph.D. thesis research.
• After retirement from Los Alamos, I have collaborated with Dr. John Sanford, a Cornell geneticist, to develop a state-of-the-art population genetics program named Mendel’s Accountant. I have also advised additional graduate students who have utilized the Terra software in their Ph.D. thesis research. In addition I have undertaken research into the manner that rapid plate tectonics during the Genesis Flood likely generated tens of thousands of giant tsunamis that played a key role in the erosion, transport, and deposition of the fossil-bearing sediment layers that blanket the continents today.
• Over 80 peer-reviewed publications.

(This lecture was based on a 2015 paper by the same name found here - https://www.etsjets.org/files/JETS-PDFs/58/58-4/JETS_58-4_771-86_Baumgardner&Lyon.pdf )
Philosophical materialism is predicated on the claim that no non-material realities exist. Hence, a single substantive counterexample of this foundational truth claim falsifies that framework.
A category of reality which plays a huge role in the world around us is that of formal language. Formal language involves the assignment of snippets of meaning to a set of arbitrary symbols to form a vocabulary. It further involves a set of rules by which elements from the vocabulary may be joined together to form more complex meaning structures. Formal language includes not only human languages but also machine languages, mathematics, and the genetic specifications found in the DNA of living organisms.
Formal language in its ultimate essence is nothing more than encoded meaning. Because meaning is abstract and non-material, so is formal language in all its diverse expressions. Formal language plays such prominent roles in the world around us that it is impossible to argue that it is not real. Living systems are unthinkable apart from the non-material linguistic specifications on which they rely. Our thoughts and communications with others are also manifestations of non-material formal language but nonetheless are indisputably real. Thus, the claim that non-material realities do not exist is easy to demonstrate to be false. Because matter shows no innate ability to assign meaning to symbols or to manipulate such symbols, linguistic entities require a non-material source. The only candidate source is mind. The size and complexity of the linguistic structures on which living organisms rely demand a mind
for which there is but one viable candidate, the God of the Bible.

Brief Personal History
After graduating from high school, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Texas Tech and then a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Princeton. But the most significant happening in my life before or since was my conversion to Christ through a verse-by-verse study of the gospel of John in a college Sunday school class in 1970. I liken this event to a curtain being pulled back on a dimension of reality I had earlier not even suspected to exist. Christ has since made my life an incredibly exciting and fulfilling experience—way beyond anything I otherwise might have imagined.
Soon after my conversion I began a four-year tour of active duty in the U. S. Air Force, a time of exciting and deep spiritual growth. A desire for Christian ministry then led me to join the campus ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Grieved by the deliberate use of evolution to assault and destroy the faith of Christian college students that I observed on the campus where I served, I began to present classroom lectures and evening forums to expose evolution’s fraudulent claims. In researching issues relating to the Genesis Flood and earth history in preparation for some of these events, I realized that Noah’s Flood logically involved planetary scale tectonic catastrophe. This awareness prompted me to leave Campus Crusade in 1978 to begin a Ph.D. program in geophysics at UCLA to obtain the training and credentials specifically to address the problem of the mechanism of the Genesis Flood at a professional scientific level. My Ph.D. thesis research involved the development of a 3-D spherical finite element model for the earth’s mantle, a program now known as TERRA. Most of this thesis research I conducted at Los Alamos National Laboratory. I completed my Ph.D. from UCLA in geophysics and space physics in 1983.
Between 1984 and 2004 I served as a staff scientist in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos where, in addition to other computational fluid dynamics research, I was able to continue my research in planetary mantle dynamics, including the potential for catastrophic mantle overturn. I have presented my research results on catastrophic plate tectonics as the mechanism for Noah’s Flood at seven International Conferences on Creationism held in Pittsburgh beginning in 1986. Between 1997 and 2005 I served as a member of the Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth (RATE) team that uncovered strong radioisotope evidence that the earth is thousands, not billions, of years old. One such line of evidence is the retention in zircon crystals in granite of more than a billion years’ worth, at present rates of decay, of radiogenic helium. Diffusion limits the lifetime of helium in these zircon crystals to only a few thousand years. Another line of evidence for a youthful earth was our discovery of C-14 in natural diamond.
Between 2005 and 2008 I served as a full-time staff scientist at the Institute for Creation Research in Santee, California. Much of my work there involved, as part of a small team, the development of Mendel’s Accountant, a state-of-the-art population genetics program for studying issues of mutation and selection in natural populations. This software shows, with no room for uncertainty, that natural selection does not and cannot deliver the miraculous results that evolutionists routinely attribute to it. Since 2008 I have been a senior research associate with Logos Research Associates (http://www.logosresearchassociates.org) where I continue to research topics relating to earth history and Scripture. In addition, from 2014 to 2018 I served as an adjunct faculty member at Southern California Seminary located in El Cajon, California, in its Center for Creation Studies. I currently serve as research professor emeritus in the School of Engineering at Liberty University. My wife Mary and I reside near Lynchburg, Virginia.
Highlights of My Technical Career
• As a project officer during four years of active duty at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, Kirtland AFB, NM, I had responsibilities in the design of the resonator optics for a large, classified CO2 gas dynamics laser that was later built and flown in the Airborne Laser Laboratory, a refitted KC-135 aircraft. As part of this effort I developed a 3D optics/power extraction code that solved the gas kinetics rate equations in the supersonic flow where the lasing and power extraction occurred and computed the optical quality of output beam as affected by shocks in the supersonic flow. The laser performed according to specs and successfully demonstrated the capability from an airborne platform to destroy incoming missiles.
• As part of my Ph.D. thesis research at UCLA I developed the 3-D spherical code now known as TERRA for modeling the dynamics of planetary mantles. This code utilized the then newly discovered multigrid method for solving the large elliptic systems of equations arising in this application. The efficiency of multigrid plus the advantages of the almost uniform icosahedral grid made such 3-D calculations feasible for the first time. This code was the first 3-D spherical code of its kind and continues almost 30 years later to be the state of the art and used by several research groups around the world. One example is the research collaboration with Prof. Uwe Walzer and his geodynamics group at Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany. The many diverse applications of TERRA by this group and the resulting publications may be found at www.geodyn.uni-jena.de. Another example of TERRA’s ongoing application is the research by Prof. Hans-Peter Bunge and his geodynamics group at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany. Their publications can be found at https://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/Members/bunge.
• During my 20 years in a computational fluid dynamics research group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, I was one of the main developers of the Pagosa code, a massively parallel multi-material Eulerian code that tracked material interfaces cell by cell in a robust high-order manner. The unique ability of this code at that time to treat a DOE mission-critical weapons application earned our team a Distinguished Performance Award in 1991.
• While at Los Alamos, I assisted the German Weather Service 1995-1999 in applying icosahedral grid techniques for modeling fluid flow on the sphere to the task of developing their next-generation weather forecast model named GME, a model that became operational in 2000 and is currently used in more than 20 countries.
• In 1996 I was part of a team of earth scientists who wrote a successful proposal for NASA’s High Performance Computing and Communication Initiative Round 2. This $1.3M award supported TERRA research from 1997-2000 and significantly advanced TERRA’s abilities. TERRA readily achieved NASA’s Round 2 massively parallel computing benchmarks.
• Also at Los Alamos, I was part of the ocean modeling team that developed the POP global ocean model, which is the ocean component of the NCAR Community Climate System Model, one of the two main U.S. climate models.
• During my tenure at Los Alamos, I supervised several graduate students who utilized my Terra mantle dynamics code for their Ph.D. thesis research.
• After retirement from Los Alamos, I have collaborated with Dr. John Sanford, a Cornell geneticist, to develop a state-of-the-art population genetics program named Mendel’s Accountant. I have also advised additional graduate students who have utilized the Terra software in their Ph.D. thesis research. In addition I have undertaken research into the manner that rapid plate tectonics during the Genesis Flood likely generated tens of thousands of giant tsunamis that played a key role in the erosion, transport, and deposition of the fossil-bearing sediment layers that blanket the continents today.
• Over 80 peer-reviewed publications.

With the kind permission of Former Military Space Engineer, Spike Psarris, we watched his newest expanded and updated edition of WHAT YOU AREN'T BEING TOLD ABOUT ASTRONOMY Volume I - OUR CREATED SOLAR SYSTEM. This visually stunning video shows example after example of recent discoveries among the planets and their moons that, according to conventional scientific wisdom, shouldn't be there. Scientific convention says the Solar System formed all by itself without a Creator, 4.5 billion years ago. But the heavenly bodies themselves display evidence that suggests otherwise.

Joseph Kezele, M.D., gave a live, in-person presentation titled, "FROM DARWIN TO DICTATORSHIP." <<<(Double click)
This hard-hitting presentation is born from Dr. Kezele's personal experiences in Eastern Europe and opens with the “Laying the Foundation” for evolution that Ernst Häckel, laid down in Germany and in Europe as a whole. It then reviews how this foundation was used to promote racism and how the Nazis took advantage of that foundation. The scene then shifts to Soviet Russia after “Revolution of Foundation” and a recounting of some of the terrible events that occurred there in an evolutionary based political system. The last sections are “Evolution of Foundation” in America and “The Consequences”. They show why we now have to deal with racism, abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cells, and rationing of health care.

Monte Fleming, Ph.D. Geology, surveyed his new book, "STORIES ABOUT EARTH'S HISTORY: A Geologist's Dissent From Deep Time. "
Citing contents from his book, Dr. Fleming gave powerful geologic evidence that Earth's continents are YOUNG - only thousands of years old, not millions.
About our Speaker:
Monte Fleming holds a PhD in earth science. He is a teacher and a researcher, and his projects have included studies of whale fossils in Peru, analyses of giant rock basins on the tops of mesas in Arizona, and laboratory flume research (examining the deposit of sediments from rapidly flowing muddy water). He works at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California, where he lives with his wife, his oldest son, and his two-year-old triplets.
Citing contents from his book, Dr. Fleming gave powerful geologic evidence that Earth's continents are YOUNG - only thousands of years old, not millions.

MOVIE NIGHT
We watched Bruce Malone's videos THE STONES CRY OUT, Lessons 5 & 6 *
- The Rocks Cry Out Curriculum Lesson 5: Dinosaurs and Dragons
Dinosaurs are used extensively to convince children that evolution is a fact and mankind evolved to appear upon the Earth millions of years AFTER dinosaurs went extinct. Yet cultures around the world and throughout history have references to these creatures. This lesson examines how dinosaurs fit into biblical history and reveals recent irrefutable discoveries confirming that dinosaurs were created quite recently – right alongside mankind.
-The Rocks Cry Out Curriculum Lesson 6: The Age of Creation
The belief in billions of years of Earth history implies that death, disease, bloodshed, and extinction have been around long before mankind appeared. If this were true, death is not really the penalty for mankind’s sin and God is the “author of death”. This lesson examines exactly how dating methods work, shows why they give erroneous results, and climaxes with a tour through a typical science and history museum which all too often are simply billion-dollar propaganda machines promoting non-biblical philosophical beliefs disguised as science.

We watched dvd Disc 1 (127 minutes) of the "RATE PREMIER CONFERENCE, Thousands . . . Not Billions" held on November 5, 2005.
The November 5, 2005 conference, held at Shadow Mountain Church in San Diego, (and the attending two-volume book Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth), culminated 8 years of research by eight leading scientists, revealing multiple lines of evidence that earth experienced one or more episodes of accelerated radioactive decay in its past.
We will watch* dvd Disc 2 at a later date.

These were :
EXPERIMENTS IN STRATIFICATION (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFST2C32hMQ&t=47s)
Collectively, these videos challenge the simplistic interpretation of geological strata as have being laid down slowly in calm water over millions of years. The tired old mantra, "The present is the key to the past" FAILS. Rock layers give evidence of fast and recent catastrophic deposition on a global scale. These videos suggest that most strata were laid down rapidly by vast sheets of fast flowing water, loaded with sediments, which on such a massive scale, have no counterpart in the world today. Rock layers around the world give silent testimony to a recent, global, catastrophic flood.

About our speaker (The following information is borrowed from Creation Ministries International's website at https://creation.com/dr-matthew-cserhati-cv.)
Education
During his Ph.D. studies, Matthew developed a transcription factor binding site dyad prediction algorithm, with application to crop species at the Biological Research Center in Szeged, Hungary. He also developed a dedicated website for housing haplotype information on candidate drought genes in barley and taught two science courses.
From 2010–2011, he took part in the development of the program OPTIMA in the laboratory of Chemical Kinetics in the Institute of Chemistry at ELTE University, in Budapest. This work involved the estimation of a number of Arrhenius parameters in a number of combustion reactions. He also taught Linux programming as a special course.
From 2011–2013, he worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. The two main projects he was involved with included the analysis of Next-gen sequencing data to discover differentially expressed genes in the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii due to low carbon concentrations, and the analysis of the regulation of 177 ribosomal protein genes across ~30,000 experiments, representing hundreds of gigabytes of data from the ENCODE project.
From 2013–2017, he worked as a bioinformatics programmer at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. His tasks included the development of the NNTC-DCC database, a browsable, integrated website for storing experimental and clinical data on neuroAIDS patients. He was also involved in the demultiplexing, storage, and analysis of Next-gen sequencing data for wet-lab researchers. Other notable projects included the de novo genome assembly and annotation of ten NCLDV (NucleoCytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses), as well as the application of a motif prediction algorithm to the genomes of modern and archaic humans. He also helped teach a couple courses in bioinformatics.
In 2017 he started an M.A. program at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
From 2018–2019, he took part in the prediction and analysis of differentially expressed genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in mouse and human at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
From 2010 He performed over 200 translations and interpretation jobs in Hungarian, German, Swedish, Dutch and Norwegian. He was also a member of the American Translators Association and the Nebraska Association for Translators and Interpreters for several years and he led an informal biblical languages club at Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church in San Antonio, Texas.
In 2001 he helped establish a creation science group in Hungary called the Protestant Creation Research Group. In 2015 he became a member of the Creation Research Society.

Dr Robert W. Carter, Speaker/senior scientist, Creation Ministries International (USA)
Education
- 2003 University of Miami, Ph.D. Marine Biology
- 1992 Georgia Institute of Technology, B.S. Applied Biology
- Between my undergraduate and graduate work, I spent four years teaching high school science at a large college-prep school in NW Georgia. In addition to my teaching load (including AP biology, chemistry, physics, and electronics), I spent the winter months coaching the swimming and diving teams and the summer months running the outdoor high adventure program.
- In 1996, I was awarded the three-year Maytag doctoral fellowship by the University of Miami. When that expired, I received a one-year fellowship from the Institute for Marine Science. While working on my PhD, I designed and performed many experiments in marine ecology and genetic engineering and helped to develop new protocols for the rapid cloning of fluorescent protein genes. The green and red fluorescent proteins my coworker and I cloned from hard and soft corals were used to create transgenic zebrafish. We patented one of these protein genes and licensed it to Promega, Inc. under the trade name ‘Monster Green’.
- From 2001–2004, I helped design and build an aquaculture facility for Caribbean corals at UM’s Experimental Fish Hatchery. During these years I also performed over 500 research dives on the shallow coral reefs of the Florida Keys and Bahamas. Many of these were done at night to study the mass coral spawning episodes that happen at specific times during the warm summers.
- I spent two years after obtaining my PhD working for an engineering company, mainly focused on impact mitigation for the Key West Harbor dredging project (since the channel runs right through the coral reef).
- Upon leaving Miami, I was hired by the Institute for Creation Research to help on their GENE project. While there, I wrote computer programs to analyze human genetic data and managed to get one publication on this work into the secular literature.
- In 2006, I was hired by Creation Ministries International as a scientist, speaker, and writer.

Matthew Cserhati, Ph.D., Bioinformatics, gave a LIVE, IN-PERSON presentation titled, "MOLECULAR BARAMINOLOGY." "Baraminology" refers to the science of organizing today's plants and animals according to their inferred created "kinds," ("baramin" in Hebrew). "Molecular baraminology" seeks to resolve each Genesis kind by identifying multiple distinctive molecules shared by members of the kind. Dr. Cserhati has developed algorithms that allow him to rapidly sift through huge genetic data banks, identifying created kinds by shared nuclear DNA, shared mitochondrial DNA, and and shared gene sequences.

About our speaker (The following information is borrowed from Creation Ministries International's website at https://creation.com/dr-matthew-cserhati-cv.)
Education
During his Ph.D. studies, Matthew developed a transcription factor binding site dyad prediction algorithm, with application to crop species at the Biological Research Center in Szeged, Hungary. He also developed a dedicated website for housing haplotype information on candidate drought genes in barley and taught two science courses.
From 2010–2011, he took part in the development of the program OPTIMA in the laboratory of Chemical Kinetics in the Institute of Chemistry at ELTE University, in Budapest. This work involved the estimation of a number of Arrhenius parameters in a number of combustion reactions. He also taught Linux programming as a special course.
From 2011–2013, he worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. The two main projects he was involved with included the analysis of Next-gen sequencing data to discover differentially expressed genes in the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii due to low carbon concentrations, and the analysis of the regulation of 177 ribosomal protein genes across ~30,000 experiments, representing hundreds of gigabytes of data from the ENCODE project.
From 2013–2017, he worked as a bioinformatics programmer at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. His tasks included the development of the NNTC-DCC database, a browsable, integrated website for storing experimental and clinical data on neuroAIDS patients. He was also involved in the demultiplexing, storage, and analysis of Next-gen sequencing data for wet-lab researchers. Other notable projects included the de novo genome assembly and annotation of ten NCLDV (NucleoCytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses), as well as the application of a motif prediction algorithm to the genomes of modern and archaic humans. He also helped teach a couple courses in bioinformatics.
In 2017 he started an M.A. program at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
From 2018–2019, he took part in the prediction and analysis of differentially expressed genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in mouse and human at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
From 2010 He performed over 200 translations and interpretation jobs in Hungarian, German, Swedish, Dutch and Norwegian. He was also a member of the American Translators Association and the Nebraska Association for Translators and Interpreters for several years and he led an informal biblical languages club at Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church in San Antonio, Texas.
In 2001 he helped establish a creation science group in Hungary called the Protestant Creation Research Group. In 2015 he became a member of the Creation Research Society.

WORLD RENOWN DOCTOR BLOWS THE LID OFF OF COVID VACCINE
https://rumble.com/vhp7y5-full-interview-world-renowned-doctor-blows-lid-off-of-covid-vaccine.html
About the Video's Featured Speaker:
Dr. Peter McCullough has been the world's most prominent and vocal advocate for early outpatient treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection in order to prevent hospitalization and death. On May 19, 2021, he was interviewed regarding his efforts as a treating physician and researcher. From his unique vantage point, he has observed and documented a PROFOUNDLY DISTURBING POLICY RESPONSE to the pandemic -- a policy response that may prove to be the greatest malpractice and malfeasance in the history of medicine and public health.
Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M College of Medicine, Dallas, TX USA. Since the outset of the pandemic, Dr. McCullough has been a leader in the medical response to the COVID-19 disaster and has published “Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection” the first synthesis of sequenced multidrug treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the American Journal of Medicine and subsequently updated in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine. He has 40 peer-reviewed publications on the infection and has commented extensively on the medical response to the COVID-19 crisis in TheHill and on FOX NEWS Channel. On November 19, 2020, Dr. McCullough testified in the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and throughout 2021 in the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, Colorado General Assembly, and New Hampshire Senate concerning many aspects of the pandemic response.

We watched a video by Dr. Jason Lisle titled, "THE SECRET CODE OF CREATION."
Showcasing Mandelbrot fractals as evidence, Dr. Lisle demonstrated that there is more to reality than the material universe of matter and energy. Governing the physical cosmos lies a universe of abstract entities, patterns, and relationships that is unarguably REAL, that secular science cannot explain. This abstract universe reflects the unfathomable Genius of our Creator.
"THE SECRET CODE OF CREATION" is currently available on YouTube.
