DVD: Creation As Science

by Dr. Hugh Ross

In Creation as Science, Hugh Ross resolves one of the most divisive debates of our time. His "creation model" reveals a path toward genuine resolution. It affirms biblical truth as well as the scientific enterprise.

CREATION AS SCIENCE FLYER

Ray Williams

The program for this meeting will be a PowerPoint presentation given by Ray Williams entitled, Cosmogony, Geology and Genesis 1, followed by a discussion of scientific evidence, biblical interpretation and intelligent design.
 
Starting with the beginning of the creation/evolution debate, the presentation will reveal how, concerning biblical interpretation, the "wool" has been pulled over the eyes of many believers to the extent that they reject current scientific evidence that clearly establishes the antiquity of the earth/universe.
 
The long-standing belief in the "plain meaning and literal interpretation" of Genesis 1 is challenged and the question is posed – Should the leaders of the Intelligent Design movement distance themselves from the doctrine of young-earth creationists?
 
The colorful PowerPoint presentation promises to be an eye-opener for those who have been following the young-earth/old-earth debate.
 
Ray was the speaker at our January 2005 RTB meeting when he gave a presentation showing that we live in a "sea" of electromagnetic radiation that pervades the universe and that there is definitely Harmony of Science and Biblical Creation. 

Ray has a diverse background.  He is a retired Navy officer having served during WWII and the Korean war .  With an electrical engineering degree, following retirement, he worked with several companies to include the Naval Air Development Center, the FAA, and the Lockheed Aircraft Company.  Ray is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and has served as a Ruling Elder since 1969.  He is a Ruling Elder Emeritus from Christ Presbyterian Church, Marietta, GA and has taught classes in Christian Doctrine, Books of the Bible and the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Ray has been engaged in the discussion of science and faith issues for many years and has written a number of articles that were posted on the PCA News web site. The articles contained comprehensive scientific and biblical arguments that stressed the Harmony of Science and Biblical Creation.

He became a member of RTB Atlanta in January 2005.

A WORKSHOP on presenting "Intelligent Design" to small groups

This month we are happy to announce that Angela Brannen and Robert McKnight will conduct a workshop on how to present a Biblical view of "Intelligent Design" to a Sunday school class or other small group.   Helpful handouts will be available.

After Angela and Rob share their presentation outlines and resources, this will be an open forum discussion of ideas, resources and experiences of how we can easily and with confidence share the great news that faith and science are allies. We will also discuss ideas on how to deal with objections from young earth creationists, atheists, and other skeptics. 

Angela Brannen is an experienced high school biology teacher.  Rob McKnight is a trial attorney and an adjunct professor of law at Georgia State University College of Law.     

You have all heard many things about Intelligent Design from both sides of the argument and it has become quite controversial and politically charged.   As a result it has been maligned in the press and there is much misinformation out there on exactly what it is and what it isn't.   The object of this workshop if for us to learn together how to plant the seeds that the realm of nature and science declares God's existence and gives trustworthy revelations of God's character and purpose.

THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPT TRADITION: AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON THE TRUSTWORTHINESS AND RELIABILITY OF SCRIPTURE

 

 Professor Paul Elbert

This illustrated lecture features a unique collection of color photographs from libraries, monasteries, and private scholars from around the world.  All the relevant writing tools used to produce the Old Testament Scriptures and the New Testament documents will be shown.  The inspiration of the New Testament writers will be framed within the communicative and rhetorical traditions of the ancient world, against the development of writing, the Qumran discoveries, the earliest New Testament fragments, the earliest likenesses of Jesus, and the five major New Testament codices from which the Greek text of the New Testament is mainly taken.  The presentation concludes with a selected array of beautiful illuminated manuscripts depicting biblical scenes, followed by several icons.

How Do We Account For the Complexity of Life?

As a scientist, I must evaluate data.

•The data argue strongly for the existence of a designer.

•Did God use "evolution" as the mechanism for his creation? 

 

I don't know, but I know that he did it.

 

Genesis 1:1 says:  "God created the heavens and the earth."

 

Proverbs 3: 19, 20 says:   "The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth;  by understanding hath He established the heavens.  By his knowledge the depths are broken up and the clouds drop down the dew."

 

 

Dr. Eugene C. Ashby

Emotionally charged opinions on this very complex scientific subject have been published by both Creationist and Evolutionists without having personally studied the issues. Some study of Astronomy, Paleontology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Physiology is necessary in order to arrive at an informed position on the subject.

Dr. Ashby has spent the past 5 years studying the issues and has defined the problem. He proposes a simple theory that can be understood by the non-scientist that should satisfy both Creationist and Darwinist Evolutionists as to the origins of the universe, life, and man.
