2009 : Garden of Eden 2

We watched about the first half of a video by Kent Hovind on this topic in Dec 2008. Due to Christmas, we have not yet watched the 2nd half.

As we would like to read a couple journal articles in January, this video is on the roll for “when life gets busy,” probably in February 2009. Date to be announced….

Oct 22 : Age of the Earth

A popular creationist lecturer, Kent Hovind, has a video series, downloadable from his website. At this meeting we will take a look at the first one in the series, on the Age of the earth.

The download series is listed on his website:  http://www.drdino.com/downloads.php

We will meet at Troy & Jody Wielgosz’ home, which is still in Rutland, just up the hill from our place. If you are not sure where we are, give someone a call or email us and I can give you directions. We will meet around 7 pm, video to start PROMPTLY at 7:30, as some in the group may need to leave on time, too.

Depending on the group discussion following the movie, we will decide whether to watch all or most of this series for the rest of the fall / winter. So, if you have ideas on that, please attend tonight.
