December 9th Speaker, Dr. Gary
Parker
Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship is privileged to have as our
December speaker, Dr. Gary Parker. The title of
Dr. Parker’s talk this December will be The Metabolic
Miracle. In his previous presentations for RMCF, he
has generated some of our highest attendance records. Don’t
miss this one either.
Dr. Parker is a Professor of Biology at the Institute
for Creation Research and an internationally renowned
speaker on creation. He is also a speaker for Answers in Genesis.
Once an atheist who taught evolution to his biology students, he
was very critical of Christians who compromised by denying
a literal reading of Genesis. By doing this he had hoped
to convert them to evolution. But they turned the tables on him.
Now as a Christian, he still is critical of those who compromise
the Bible, but he now uses his knowledge of evolution to show how
scientific facts have failed to support the theories put forth by
evolutionists.
Parker was previously the head of the Science Department at Clearwater
Christian College (CCC) in Florida. He also served for
twelve years on the science faculty of the Institute
for Creation Research (ICR) in the San Diego area.
Dr. Parker has worked with Ken Ham, founder and Executive Director
of AIG, at some of the well-attended
Answers in Genesis seminars. He has also conducted
citywide Understanding Genesis conferences. Gary was also co-presenter
with Ken Ham in the popular video series, Answers in Genesis. He
has appeared in numerous films and television programs, and has
lectured worldwide on creation. His most recent book was Exploring
the World Around Us. He is currently working on The
Fossils Book.
Dr. Parker and his wife Mary are currently hosting a Creation
Adventure Museum near Arcadia, Florida. They conduct
Creation Workshops, fossil hunting and Canoe trips on the Peace
River. The Family Program and Home School credit is provided by
Mrs. Mary Parker, Museum Curator, field paleontologist
and Dry Bones co-author.
Dr. Parker began his teaching career as a non-Christian and evolutionist.
The details of his spiritual and scientific conversion, From
Evolution to Creation, include several comic incidents.
For example, he was once a participant in a debate where his own
science department defended the Bible against the Bible department,
which defended evolution! If you don’t believe this happened,
ask him at the meeting! Among his other publishing credits are five
programmed textbooks in biology and six books in Creation Science
(the latter translated into eight foreign languages). Dr. Parker
has appeared in numerous films and television programs, and has
lectured worldwide on creation.
In his talk Dr. Parker will be focusing on the miraculous
function of body metabolism and how the body turns sugar into energy
in the cells. This wonderful mechanism could never have
evolved. Only God in His infinite wisdom could have created it.
Please note that Dr. Parker may also be speaking at other places
in the Denver Metro area in December (including radio) and the RMCF
website will list these speaking engagements. Be sure to join us
for this challenging presentation and opportunity to meet Gary in
person. There is no cost to attend this presentation by Dr. Parker
and refreshments will be served after the meeting.
