 Dr.
Gary Parker
Plant Power! Capitalizing on Chaos
Date: December 1st, 7:00pm
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 Plant
Power! Capitalizing on Chaos. We are happy to have
Gary visit RMCF and give us another excellent talk. Please
note this special date is the First Friday of the month!
Plants are stunning evidence of Creation and Dr.
Parker will show us why in his presentation. The random motion of
water molecules, under correct direction and in a properly designed
system, can be converted to direct motion. Hence we get water moving
in plants and even up the tall Redwoods.
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
books are Exploring the World Around Us
and 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).
There is no cost to attend this presentation by Dr. Parker and
refreshments will be served after the meeting. The RMCF Library
will be at the December meeting. Members are welcome to take out
vides from the library on a complimentary basis. A DVD will be made
of Dr. Parker's talk and will be available after his presentation.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
