Creation: Science and the Bible (Apologetics Event)

Nate Loper speaks about the story of creation through the lens of science and the Bible.

PT. 1 - FLOOD GEOLOGY – 3 Rock-Solid Evidences for a Global Flood as seen at the Grand Canyon:

• Great Unconformity - A massive erosional boundary from fast-moving water seen between the Pre-Cambrian rocks and the Cambrian Tapeats Sandstone. The Great Unconformity is seen around the world.

• Cambrian Explosion - An “explosion” within the rock record where fossils are found suddenly and seen around the world beginning at the same strata

position. A mystery of evolutionary biology explained by the onset of the Flood, containing creatures buried by the worldwide catastrophe. The

“Cambrian Explosion of Life” coincides with the same “explosion of erosion” seen in the Great Unconformity.

• Extent of Sedimentary Layers - Examples include the Tapeats Sandstone and its global equivalent. Material carried by fast-moving water across multiple continents at the same time.

Pt. 2 - SPACE AND ASTRONOMY:

• The Flatness Problem – The universe appears to be expanding at a perfect rate. Too much expansion and the universe flies apart. Too little expansion and the universe contracts on itself.

• Spiral Galaxies – Spiral galaxies rotate differently yet show clear spiral arms. If billions of years were to have occurred, the galaxies should have spun themselves into disks, with no spiral arms visible.

• Recession of the Moon – The moon is moving away from the earth about 1.5 inches at present. At calculated rates, the earth and moon should have been touching only 1.5 billion years ago.

Pt. 3 - HUMAN BIOLOGY:

• Fingerprints - Showcase uniqueness and the beauty of individuality.

• Human Eye - A design of incredible complexity.

• Blood Vessels - We have 60,000 miles of blood vessels running through our bodies, organized by design.

• Human Body - The beauty of our bodies showcase the creative power of God and the value He sees in us.
