Speaker: Rod Martin Topic: God Is A Young Earth Creationist Time: 6:45 Young-earth creationists believe the earth is about 6000 years old. This age is based primarily on genealogies given in the book of Genesis. Genesis provides a tight genealogy from Adam to Jacob. Later verses give the exact number of years between significant events (Abrahamic covenant to Moses' Law, Exodus to start of Solomon's temple and start of the divided kingdom to the Babylonian captivity). Knowing the age of the earth, Biblically, should give confidence to young-earth believers. Following the genealogies also reveals some interesting facts. For example, the year of the Flood and the Tower of Babel, how many generations of his descendants that Shem outlived and Jacobs age when he left for Haran. Unfortunately, many pastors and theologians compromise with evolution regarding the age of the earth. This is regrettable and unnecessary. The genealogies are given for a purpose and they are not boring when studied together. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable, even the genealogies. Rod J. Martin has held engineering and management positions in oil and gas, mining, and the electric power industries. His career has taken him from installing offshore oil platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel, to helping develop a pioneering tarsand mine in Northern Alberta, Canada, as well as expanding heavy oil production in California, operating oilfields in Texas, drilling oil wells in Wyoming, surveying for the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado, and managing a coal-fired steam-electric cogeneration plant in the Czech Republic. He holds an M.S. degree in geology (Cal. State, Northridge), a P.E. degree in petroleum engineering (Colorado School of Mines), an M.A. degree in Biblical counseling (The Master's College), and a D.Ed.Min. in Biblical counseling (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). He has also taken additional graduate study in business, engineering, and theology. Rod is a Registered Professional Engineer in California and a certified Biblical counselor with ACBC. He has been a young-earth creationist since 1982. 
Video: How Darwin Got It Wrong - Dr. John Sanford
Time: 5:30 pm Charles Darwin was the father of evolutionary biology, but how much do we actually know about him? No, he did not invent evolutionary theory. No, he did not come up with evolutionary theory while on the Galapagos Islands. He was a product of his times, and the science of his day was extremely limited compared to what we know today. If Darwin were alive today, and had access to our vast scientific knowledge that clearly shows how complex life is, would he still develop evolutionary theory? Evolutionary ancestry is wrong, and the latest findings from modern genetics effectively falsify it? |
