President of the Creation Research Society, Joel Brown, Ph.D. (Molecular Biology,) will give* a live, in-house presentation, titled,
A’Mouldering in the Grave: What decaying dinosaur bones tell us about the age of the earth .
66 million years ago an asteroid impacted Planet Earth, dramatically ending the Age of Dinosaurs…or that’s how the story goes. 66 million years, (66 thousand millinia!), is a long, long time to lie “a’mouldering in the grave”, so it came as a surprise when scientists found soft tissue and intact proteins in dinosaur fossils. This raises the question, just how long can organic tissue last after death. In this session, you will learn about the research being performed by the Creation Research Society and others which leads to the inescapable conclusion…that bone ain’t 66 million years old.
About our speaker:
Growing up, Dr. Joel Brown experienced two different worlds. As a pastor’s son, he was exposed to a Biblical understanding of the world and chose to serve and follow Christ from a young age. After completing an undergraduate degree in Biology Education at Pensacola Christian College, his love for science took him into academia where he spent ten years in a secular research environment. He earned a master’s degree in biology from the University of West Florida, followed by a PhD in Molecular Biology from Cornell University. During his PhD, researchers used mice to explore genes and molecular pathways that impact early mammalian development. After completing an additional year of postdoctoral research at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Brown turned his attention to science education.
He spent five years teaching biology in the public school system in the greater St. Louis area and was blessed to have one of the most unique classrooms in the entire country… a 100-acre forest! This 100-acre outdoor classroom, called Little Creek Nature Area, was a natural oasis tucked into the heart of the St. Louis suburbs. The mission at Little Creek was to help city kids experience nature and learn how nature works. This was a unique, wonderful experience, but something was missing.
Although Dr. Brown loved teaching in the public schools, Ecclesiastes 12:1 reminded him to “remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth.” He decided to take his research and teaching background and fully invest in studying and sharing the Biblical message of creation by joining the mission of the Creation Research Society (CRS). As Director of CRS, his goal is to perform and promote sound scientific research that glorifies the Creator. As a scientist, teacher, and Christian, the conflict between the Biblical and Secular worldviews fascinates Dr. Brown. Rather than avoiding this conflict, he wants to help churches, believers, and young people think through one of the greatest questions of all, the question of our past.

Chris Rupe, Ph.D., Geology, will give* a presentation, titled, WHAT ABOUT APEMEN?
Is it true that man evolved from so-called fossil hominins ("ape-men") like Homo erectus, Neanderthals, "Lucy", etc.? Is it possible that the fossils are easily explained in light of the biblical view of human origins outlined in Genesis? Dr. Rupe shares findings from his book, Contested Bones, about how the fossil pattern of ape and human coexistence confirms the biblical view of human history recorded in Genesis..
About our speaker:
Dr. Chris Rupe is a sedimentary geologist (PhD) and a biologist (BA), who has been speaking on the topic of origins for many years. He is the founder of Back2Genesis and co-author of Contested Bones.
Chris was born and raised in a loving, biblically-consistent Christian home. However, as a high school student, Chris had lots of doubts about the Bible, specifically about whether or not the early chapters in Genesis could be trusted. After an intense season of researching the topic of science and origins, Chris' doubts were settled, and he was led right back to Christ. He was soon baptized and immediately began speaking at youth groups on the topic of origins and the trustworthiness of the Bible. That was 20 years ago!

Thomas Kindell, Ph.D., will give* a remote presentation by ZOOM, titled, DIATOMS AND RADIOLARIA -GOD'S MICROSCOPIC JEWELS OF THE SEA.
About our speaker (borrowed from Creation Wiki):
Dr. Thomas Kindell was once an ardent believer in the “fact” of evolution. However, through his exposure to the scientific case for creation, he became a zealous creationist. He has received advanced training in scientific creationism through the Graduate School of the Institute for Creation Research in Santee, California. He has been privileged to study under several of the world's most prominent creation scientists. He also has studied Christian Apologetics and Biblical-Scientific Creationism at California Graduate School of Theology where he received his M.A. in Biblical Studies. He holds a Doctorate in Philosophy of Theology (major in philosophy of Biblical apologetics.)
Dr. Kindell is the founder and president of Reasons for Faith Ministries, Inc., a non-profit ministry dedicated to equipping Christian believers to “give every man an answer” for their Biblical faith. He is a licensed Assemblies of God evangelist and is the only credentialed Assemblies minister devoted to full-time teaching of Creation-Science apologetics. He is a member of the Oregon Design Science Association and is a lifetime sustaining member of the Creation Research Society.
For over twenty-eight years he has engaged in a traveling teaching ministry lecturing on Biblical apologetics and the scientific case for creation. Dr. Kindell is available for speaking engagements full-time on a free will offering basis throughout the United States and abroad. His seminars have been enthusiastically endorsed by Dr. Duane T. Gish, Senior Vice‑President Emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research. He has also successfully debated the scientific case for creation against notable evolutionists on high school and college campuses, radio, and television. Dr. Kindell is a frequent guest on the radio series “Science, Scripture & Salvation” which is produced by the Institute for Creation Research. He is the author of the acclaimed book, Evolution on Trial.
