Baptist College of Florida had a Creation Conference<\/a>:<\/p>\n

On April 26-27, The Baptist College of Florida in Graceville hosted the first on-campus Creation Conference in the R.G. Lee Chapel led by world-renowned Creation Scientist Jonathan Sarfati of Creation Ministries International. Sarfati holds a Ph.D. in Spectroscopy (Physical Chemistry) from Victoria University in Wellington, and has authored numerous books, articles, and resources focusing on the topic of creationism.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The purpose of the conference was to show how, contrary to popular belief, the biblical account of creation is actually well supported by science, including evidences from biology, geology, astronomy, and anthropology,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d stated BCF Professor of Old Testament and Event Coordinator Rick Freeman. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sarfati demonstrated how the genuine facts of science do not fit well with the theory of evolution, whereas they do fit nicely with the view that God created all things from nothing about six thousand years ago.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I missed this glorious and oh-so-educational event. But fear not; there are videos<\/a>. If I get a little free time, I may check out the one directed at the youth. Maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
