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!

ZOOM-IN LECTURE: Thomas Kindell, Ph.D., will give* a remote presentation 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.

October 3, 2026 - TWO PRESENTATIONS!
Michael J. Boyle, Ph.D. (Zoology) will give a LIVE, In-house presentation titled,Astyanax mexicanus: A Divinely Engineered Exemplar of Organism-Driven Adaptation.
All organisms were created with the capacity to continuously track the conditions in their environments and self-adjust to those conditions on multiple scales. We model this process as biological adaptation. This presentation will provide examples of organism-driven adaptations that compensate for loss of vision in the blind cavefish of A. mexicanus (Mexican tetra), and exalt Jesus as the true Creator by revoking any creative ability of nature to produce or modify life on Earth.
About our speaker: Dr. Michael J. Boyle earned a B.Sc. in Biology from Humboldt State University in 2003, and a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2010, where his research centered on the developmental biology of marine invertebrates. His specializations include embryology, molecular biology, and microscopy. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Smithsonian Marine Station (SMS) in Florida and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama. He was staff biologist and principal investigator of the Life Histories Program at the SMS from 2015-2021. Dr. Boyle joined the Institute for Creation Research in 2022 as a research scientist and oversees the biology, molecular biology, and microscopy laboratories. He authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications, contributed chapters to scientific books, and is editor of a symposium volume (ISBS2), and co-editor of Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae, 2nd edition (2025).
Jeffrey Tompkins, Ph.D. (Genetics) will give a LIVE, In-house presentation titled,The Fossils Still Say No: Paleontology of the Global Flood.
Creationists have been discussing a lack of evolution in the fossil record for the past 50 years - demonstrating sudden appearance and stasis (lack of change) for many creatures. But why do we find certain creatures in specific rock layers? This talk integrates the ICR megasequence model of the global flood with paleontology. It also discusses the many new exciting discoveries of soft tissue and biomolecules found in fossils showing that the rock layers and the creatures buried in them were buried progressively and recently (~4,500 years ago) in the global flood.
About our Speaker: Dr. Jeffrey Tomkins earned a M.S. degree in plant science from the University of Idaho in 1990 and a Ph.D. in genetics from Clemson University in 1996. After receiving his doctorate, he worked at a genomics institute and joined the faculty in the department of Genetics and Biochemistry at Clemson where he worked for 12 years. He had originally become a Christian as an undergraduate in 1982 at Washington State University and was greatly impacted as a new believer by literature from Henry Morris and Duane Gish at the Institute for Creation Research. In 2009, Dr. Tomkins joined the Institute for Creation Research as a Research Scientist. He is the primary author of Chimps and Humans: A Geneticist Discovers DNA Evidence that Challenges Evolution, The Design and Complexity of the Cell and a contributor to Guide to Creation Basics and Creation Basics & Beyond.
If you've never hiked and rafted the Grand Canyon while hearing its majesty described from a biblical Creation and Flood science perspective, this belongs on your bucket list. And remember, bucket lists are made to be emptied by doing!
Below are some Creation ministries that offer tours of the Grand Canyon. Check them out!
