LIVE IN-HOUSE LECTURE: 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!

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.
