Dr. Vern Peterman
Talk: Creation, Evolution
and Gender
Date: June 13th, 7:00pm
Rocky Mountain
Creation Fellowship is privileged to have as our June speaker, Dr.
Vern Peterman. Dr. Peterman holds a BS in Civil Engineering,
which included a substantial background in Geology and Geotechnical
Engineering, an MBA in Business Management, and a Doctor of Ministry.
His work background includes Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Forensic
Engineering, Marketing and Accounting. For the last 6 1/2 years
he has been a pastor and Elder at the Holly Hills Bible
Church, which hosts RMCF at its facilities in Denver, Colorado.
When Dr. Peterman
began his geology studies, they began from an old-earth standpoint,
since that's what they taught as fact as than time. But in his concurrent
fieldwork and classroom studies he began studying the young earth
perspective, including books and the Creation Research Society quarterly.
He attended several
ICR seminars. In his independent investigations, he made a trip
around the western US, along with additional reading, substantial
calling and writing letters to scientists, noting limestone cave
feature (stalactites & stalagmites) growth rate, he accepted
the young earth model of geology.
He switched to
civil engineering in 1973, receiving his degree from San Jose State
University in June 1977 and professional engineering (PE) registration
in 1980. Dr. Peterman received his M.B.A. in Business Management
from Golden Gate University in 1986 and his Doctor of Ministry from
Tyndale Theological Seminary in July 2001.
Dr. Peterman will
be speaking on a seldom discussed topic, Creation, Evolution
and Gender. His talk will sharply contrast the
origins of the views on gender from both the Creation and Evolution
worldview. Additionally, he will address some very relevant
and controversial issues and questions, such as: 1. How was human
gender begun, and what is its purpose (or lack of it), 2. What are
the implications of each worldview for marriage, singleness and
modern culture, 3. How many genders are there?, 4. Does human gender
come from animals and accidents - or from God?, 5. Does marriage
- or singleness - even matter any more?, 6. Are gays and lesbians
really born that way?
This should be
an enlightening discussion, which is seldom ever discussed in churches
these days. Please let those in your church know about these teachings.
They usually won’t ever hear these topics elsewhere. There
will be refreshments after the meeting in our fellowship hall and
there is no cost for this engagement. To become a member of RMCF,
please call RMCF at (303) 525-5500 or email us at talk@youngearth.org.
A DVD will be made of Dr. Peterman’s talk and will be available
that evening. Hope to see you all there
