Noah’s Flood: Washing Away Millions of Years – Dr. Terry Mortenson

Multimedia Presentation by Dr. Terry Mortenson Cedar Park Christian School, Mountlake Terrace campus February 6th, 2019 This lecture first explains some of the biblical evidence that Noah’s Flood was a unique, historic, global, catastrophic flood. Then Dr. Mortenson discusses some of the geological and fossil evidence for this event. It will be shown that the idea of millions of years did not and does not come from the rocks and fossils but rather from anti-biblical worldview assumptions used to interpret the geological evidence. Included will be brief discussion (understandable to lay people) of why Christians should not accept the millions-of-years dates derived from radiometric dating methods. 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. Since that same year, he has also helped to lead annual, by-invitation-only, seven-day raft trips down the Colorado River through Grand Canyon for more than 210 seminary and Christian college professors and other key Christian leaders from over 110 schools, churches, and organizations, and from 15 countries. _________________________________________________________________ This seminar was recorded for the Earth Science class at Cedar Park Christian Schools - a ministry of Cedar Park Church, Bothell Washington (http://www.cedarpark.org/).
