I’ll just let the story do all the talking: Permanent Exhibit At PHCC Library Unveiled<\/a><\/p>\n

More than 100 guests gathered last week at the Raymond H. Center, M.D., Library on the campus of Trinity College for the unveiling of a new exhibit now on permanent display.<\/p>\n

The C.S. Lewis Society Fossil Collection includes painstakingly accurate replicas of things like a triceratops horn and the foot bones of an allosaurus.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

But wait, isn’t Trinity College a Christian school? Aren’t fossils and paleontology in general in direct opposition to the belief in biblical creationism or intelligent design?<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

In paleontology, the more that is learned, the greater the case that can be made for intelligent design, Woodward believes. “Science has a chance to surprise us.”<\/p>\n

To help clarify this viewpoint, Woodward invited Dr. John Whitmore to speak at the unveiling. Whitmore is an associate professor of geology at Cedarville University, in Cedarville, Ohio, serves on the board of the Creation Research Science Education Foundation and is a member of the Creation Research Society and the Geological Society of America.<\/p>\n

“I think creationists have been doing scientific work for some time,” Whitmore said. “Some of it hasn’t been very good, but there is really a new crop of creation scientists out there who are willing to look at things honestly and forthrightly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
