Floating Forests: An Example of Creation Model-Building – Dr. Kurt Wise
Floating Forests: An Example of Creation Model-Building – Dr. Kurt Wise
Seminar by Dr. Kurt Wise
Seattle Creation Conference May 31, 2014
Woodin Valley Baptist Church, Bothell WA.
Description:
Plant divisions appear in the order in the fossil record that is predicted by evolution, making them one of the most powerful evidences of megaevolutionary theory. The same order can be explained by postulating the destruction during the Flood of a continent-sized floating forest. The development of floating forest theory provides an example of how creationism can generate good theories (explaining more data than evolution, while also being synthetic, predictive, and heuristic).
About the Speaker:
Kurt Wise earned a B.A. in Geophysical Sciences from the University of Chicago, followed by an M.A. and Ph.D. in paleontology from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. At Harvard, he studied under the direction of renowned scientist Stephen Jay Gould.
For seventeen years Wise taught at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee. In 2006, he accepted a position as Professor of Science and Theology and replaced intelligent design proponent William Dembski as director of the Center for Theology and Science at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Since Fall 2009 he has been serving at Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland, GA. He is presently a professor of Biology and Chair of the Math and Science Division. He is also the director of the Creation Research Center at Truett-McConnell College.
