Dr. Kurt Wise
Talk: Fossil's, an Ice Age and
Hypercanes
Date: October 14th, 7:00pm
On Friday, October 12th, Rocky Mountain Creation
Fellowship is honored to have Dr. Kurt Wise as its monthly
speaker. Dr. Wise is a Professor of Science & Theology
at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY
and the Director of the Center for Science & Theology at
Southern Baptist Theological Society, also in Louisville, KY. Dr.
Wise will be speaking twice that evening.
He attended Harvard University in
Cambridge, MA., where his principal advisor was Stephen
Jay Gould. He graduated in March, 1984 with an M.A. in
geology and in June, 1989 with a Ph.D. in Geology. During his academic
years 1982/3 thru 1985/6 he was a Teaching Fellow in various
courses at Harvard University, including Stephen Jay Gould's introductory
geology/biology course.
He was Assistant Professor of Science, Division
of Mathematics and Natural Science at Bryan College, Dayton,
TN where he taught: Introductory Biology, Biology Senior Seminar,
Philosophy and Ethics of Science, Origins, Calculus-Based Physics,
and Algebra-Based Physics. He also was the Director of the Center
of Origins Research at Bryan College. Dr. Wise was a Visiting Assistant
Professor of Paleontology at the Institute for Creation Research
and is currently a science consultant for Answers in Genesis. He
is the author of the book, Faith, Form, and Time: What the Bible
Teaches and Science Confirms About Creation and the Age of the Universe.
Dr. Wise’s first talk will be on The Floating
Forest. The Flood of Noah would have involved great turbulence,
erosion, sedimentation and subsidence in association with the ‘fountains
of the great deep’, the rising waters, volcanic activity and earth
movements. The evidence that the vegetation which formed the ‘Carboniferous’
Euro-American coals was not ‘grown in place’, but consisted
of huge mats of floating forest washed into place as part of a sedimentary
sequence. The evidence is not just suggestive, it is overwhelming.
The fact that such obvious evidence continues
to be overlooked or ignored speaks volumes. Dr. Wise will show that
the vegetation which formed the Euro-American coals did not, and
could not, have grown in place. In fact, the roots of these now-extinct
trees were not growing in soil at all, but floating in water!
He states that these floating forest give very good fossil sequences
for evolution, especially for the so called Paleozoic era and the
transitional forms between fish and amphibians, but not for the
reasons that evolutionists believe.
His second talk will be on Morphing Moles
and Moving Mountains. During and after this great flood
there was major geologic catastrophes and rapid change in
organisms. There was a time of a wild post flood period that
caused rapid change not only the in earth's geology but also
in many organisms. Dr Wise also states that he believes in the “horse
sequence” as they all did exist but are not evidence for evolution.
This should be a fascinating talk.
There is no cost for this RMCF engagement and
a DVD of Dr. Wise’s presentation will be available after the meeting.
The RMCF library will be available that night as well as the RMCF
bookstore. Bring your scientist friends and relatives to hear these
talks on flood geology and post flood changes to our earth, animals
and environment. They surely show what the Bible teaches: that this
is a young earth after all!
