Are
you a descendant of an ape-like creature, that lived millions of years
ago? Did your forbears swing through the-trees on some remote island
a few million years ago? Can you trace your "roots back to some
primordial slime that evolved, by chance and environmental pressure,
into the human being you are today? We see
television specials and read textbooks on the "history of man"
in which we see mankind move from the swamp on all fours, straighten
up, shed his tail, grow hair, and learn to move and think. We see
this alleged scenario almost daily through such, magazines as National
Geographic, Time, Natural History, and others. Is this
really what happened? Are you the end-product of billions of years
of evolutionary change? Are you the result of spontaneous generation,
that took place a long time ago only to find its culmination in Homo
sapiens of today? Or,
did God specially create you "in His image?" Did He, as
the Bible indicates, create mankind "male and female" (Matthew
19:4)? Are we, as the psalmist wrote "fearfully and wonderfully
made" (Psalm 139:14)? What
does the evidence say? It is not enough for someone to, offer a mere
opinion. What we need here is evidence adequate to the situation.
Is there any? Indeed there is! If you
would like to take an in-depth look at organic evolution versus creation;
we invite you to attend a seminar we will be conducting on January
25-26, 2002. The seminar, titled Science
& Nature: Two Votes for God, is an examination of both;
organic evolution and special creation. There
is no charge whatsoever for the seminar, no collections will be made.
In addition, there will be free handout materials on the topics covered,
as well as question and answer sessions after most lecture periods.
Everyone is invited to attend. The speaker is Dr.
Bert Thompson, former professor in the College of Veterinary
Medicine at Texas A & M, University. Join us as we investigate
these important issues. More
details and scheduling coming soon! |
