Mr. Dave PrenticeCreation or Evolution - How Can You Know For SureDate: February 10th, 7:00pmRocky Mountain Creation Fellowship is privileged to have as our February speaker, Mr. Dave Prentice. The title of Dave’s talk will be Creation or Evolution - How Can You Know For Sure. Dave Prentice received his B.S. degree in Physics from Loyola University, New Orleans, in 1976. Having been trained to believe in evolution, he continued to do so even after becoming a Christian in 1980. When the Louisiana legislature passed the Balanced Treatment Act in 1980 requiring that the evidence for creation be presented alongside that for evolution, his state representative tried to repeal the law. This is not unconstitutional in Mississippi! Dave contacted him to say that it was only fair for the "other guys," the creationists, to have their say. In response to his representative's statement that there was no evidence for creation, Dave began doing research to investigate the claims of the creationists. Within six months of study, he became one of them. Since then he has appeared on radio and television and taught seminars, Sunday school classes, and Bible college classes in Louisiana, Mississippi, China, Haiti, India, Honduras, and Peru. After working in the computer industry for over 27 years, Dave went through a midlife career change in 1999 and became a fulltime high school science teacher. He holds a Louisiana lifetime certificate to teach physics, chemistry, biology, general science and mathematics. He has two master's degrees, M.Ed. in secondary science education and Master of Arts in Science Teaching as well as a Masters Plus 30. Dave is highly recommended by Dr. Edward Boudreaux. The evolution - Creation debate has been going on for a long time. RMCF has had many speakers on these topics, both scientific and theological. Many evolutionists state that creationists can’t defend their beliefs because creation is not scientific and is not allowed to be presented in the public classrooms because of this so called “fact”. This talk is intended to develop in the listeners an understanding that both creation and evolution are logical systems based on un-provable axioms or postulates accepted by believers as true, then used to develop a comprehensive worldview. Dave plans to do the following during his talk. Identify the six ways we say we know things. This is expanded from the three categories that Dr. Behe identifies. Examine which types of knowledge have to do with science. Focus on the category of "knowledge" most pertinent to the origins controversy: how inductive and deductive logic work. Reveal the hidden axioms behind evolution (and creation). Expose the fatal flaws in evolutionary logic and why creationists need not be intimidated by claims that evolution is scientific fact. Creationists need to be able to defend their beliefs. Dave will help us here at RMCF to do just that by developing consistent logic to argue our case. Don’t miss this challenging no cost presentation.
