How to Think About Origins – Dr. Terry Mortenson

Multimedia Presentation by Dr. Terry Mortenson Cedar Park Christian School, Mountlake Terrace campus February 6th, 2019 This lecture challenges children to think, and motivates them to become better informed so that they are not deceived—and so that they can more boldly witness to their evolutionized friends. Dr. Mortenson begins by explaining the significant difference between operation science and origin science, and the role of assumptions in the interpretation of the scientific evidence regarding origins. Then Dr. Mortenson gives a number of concrete examples from biology, paleontology, and geology to illustrate this and expose the erroneous and misleading “evidence” that evolutionists present. The goal is to exhort the audience members to build all of their thinking on the Word of God. About the Speaker: Dr. Terry Mortenson holds a PhD in the history of geology from Coventry University in England and an MDiv from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois, Dr. Mortenson has lectured on the creation-evolution controversy in 25 countries since the late 1970s. He has spoken in homes, churches, schools (primary, middle, and secondary), secular universities, Bible colleges, and seminaries. Several of his popular lectures have been produced as DVDs and as TV programs. He has also participated in seven formal debates with PhD evolutionary scientists in secular venues in four countries. He is the author of numerous magazine and journal articles and several book chapters. The revised version of his PhD thesis was published as The Great Turning Point: the Church’s Catastrophic Mistake on Geology—Before Darwin (2004). With a deep burden to reach seminary professors and students, he co-edited and contributed two chapters to the scholarly 14-author book Coming to Grips with Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earth (2008), and he edited and contributed to the 16-author book Searching for Adam: Genesis & the Truth About Man’s Origin (2016). Dr. Mortenson is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS), has presented seven creation-related papers at ETS annual meetings, and spearheaded the formation of the Creation study group sessions at the ETS annual meeting, beginning in 2008.
