Greg Rutherford will be presenting a series of lectures on Creation Viewpoints, beginning Oct 24 and running for 6 Monday nights. Lectures are from 7:00 – 8:00 pm, followed by a question period, at New Life Church.
The church address is 2041 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna. Look for the sign “The Fridge” on the west parking lot (towards the back of the building, on the bakery side). Please access through the doors below the sign and not the main church entry.
We plan on attending the lectures and then possibly going for coffee with any of “our group” who would like to discuss more.
The tentative lecture line-up will be as follows:
1. The Genesis Narrative – October 24th – This introductory session deals with how evolutionary dogma has permeated our Churches and society. Questions of relevancy for Christians regarding the creation/evolution debate are examined.
2. Interpretation of Evidence – October 31st – This seminar looks at how preconceptions and biases can influence the way in which scientific evidence is interpreted.
3. Creation/Evolution Models - November 7th – The creation and evolution models of biological origins are compared and contrasted. The so called evolutionary “Tree of Life” is critiqued showing the impossibility of life originating by chance to the complete lack of evidence for indisputable transitional forms. The creation model is demonstrated to be superior in interpreting the known scientific facts.
4. Dr. Emil Silvestru Lecture – November 14th – UBCO campus – Emil works full-time for Creation Ministries International (www.creation.com) as a researcher, writer and speaker. More details to follow.
5. The Genesis Flood (Part I) – November 21st – In the book of Genesis the Bible described an event which was pivotal in human history. A catastrophic flood covered the whole earth destroying all surface dwelling animals, only those humans and animals on the Ark survived. This presentation looks at commonly asked questions about Noah’s flood. Examples include: was it possible the flood was only local, how did Noah fit all the animals in the Ark? The lecture concludes with a look at the geology of the flood event.
6. The Genesis Flood (Part II) – November 28th – Various geologic evidences for a global flood are presented. The results of this catastrophic event are examined in detail. There will also be a brief look at the Ice Age and Grand Canyon formation.

When the series ends, our eFaith group will continue meeting on Monday evenings, location TBA.
