Archaeology Wars! – Bruce Barton – Apr, 2016

Seminar by Bruce Barton Apologetics Symposium Cedar Park Church, Bothell WA April 6th, 2016 One aspect of apologetics is showing how archaeology can support Biblical accuracy. This presentation attempts to make Bible archaeology culturally relevant by showing how it relates to issues facing our culture today. Atheists and skeptics accuse the God of the Old Testament as being an unjust, unforgiving tyrant. To answer these charges we examine the practices of the Canaanites and surrounding nations, including Sodom and Gomorrah, through archaeological evidence to show why God had to judge them and end their practices. This presentation will cover two areas: Why did God command the Israelites to utterly destroy whole cities? Archaeological discoveries can help shed light on this question. Have Sodom and Gomorrah been located? Several sites have been proposed. Which one(s) seem to be the best candidates? About the Speaker: Bruce Barton has degrees in meteorology and theology, with studies in engineering and graduate work in atmospheric sciences. Mr. Barton was an instrumentation engineer in Research and Development for Weyerhaeuser Company until retirement. He has a broad background as a teacher and speaker to groups of all ages in a wide range of subjects including science and technology, aviation, and Bible topics, particularly apologetics. He has been speaking and teaching on the creation–evolution controversy for ten years. He also serves as the vice president for the Creation Association of Puget Sound. __________________________________________________________________ This seminar was recorded during our Apologetics Symposium at Cedar Park Church in Bothell Washington (http://www.cedarpark.org/).
