28 Jan ‘09 : Poll!

January 15, 2009 · 4 Comments

The poll below is my first attempt within WordPress. I think you can only answer once, you will not be able to change your answers. If you want to look at the reading choices, use the links below the poll to go there, before voting.

These are articles from the Journal of Creation (see the Go There links in the right hand sidebar for the journal homepage).

Astronomical troubles for the astronomical hypothesis of ice ages (4 pages + references). Planetary wobble, kilo-year cyles, and north-south pole out-of-phase cooling cycles. How much change is there in how solar radiation affects the earth? How many ice ages have taken place? Can deep-sea cores be trusted, and what do their sediments show of ice age history?

Migrating planets and migrating theories (3 pages) If planets coalesce from proto-solar discs, then why are planets in our system significantly different than those around other stars? Did planets in our system form with different methods from each other? Do planets migrate in to collapse in the sun, or migrate outward to stable orbits? Or both?

Days 1–4 : Viewpoint on Genesis (7 pages + references) This article is the longest, but much less technical than the first two. Provides a stripped down outline of the first four days of creation Biblically, with some scientific perspective on the implications of the separate projects on each day. The viewpoint takes some radically different definitions than the ‘classical’ literal model, but still attempts a literal application.

2009 : Garden of Eden 2

November 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment

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

October 22, 2008 · Leave a Comment

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.
