CREATION AND EVOLUTION
Scientific evidence, myths and challenges
Radio Interview:
On Tuesday 19 October, Dr Don Batten took part in an interview (which also involved a ‘Freethinker’) with Robert Blackmore from ABC Regional Radio (Southern Queensland) about the seminar in Hervey Bay, initially requested by a university. Don was pleased with what turned out to be a fascinating interview. Click here to listen.
The Hervey Bay Ministers Association are now hosting the seminar at the Fraser Coast Baptist Church.
This is your opportunity to hear what the ‘freethinkers’ don’t want you to think about!
In today’s society, evolution is widely regarded as the authoritative theory of origins. Currently there is public debate about whether creation should be taught in schools, and some even seek to prohibit it. A common assertion is that evolution is scientific and factual, while creation is mythical and religious.
This special event was planned to give an opportunity for an alternative point of view to be aired. Dr Don Batten, a biologist, & Dr Tas Walker, a geologist, will challenge society’s largely uncritical commitment to the theory of evolution.
In this one day seminar Dr Don Batten & Dr Tas Walker will argue that conventional thinking about evolution is seriously flawed. They will present scientific evidence that lends support to creation as an alternative explanation of our origins.
Some of the questions they will be addressing are:
- Is it a matter of science vs religion?
- Is the fish really our ancestor?
- Are we just a bag of chemicals?
- Should school science lessons focus on evolution?
- Is the world really billions of years old?
- Would the evolution arguments stack up in a court of law?
