The Flood, Fossils, and the Ice Age by Kevin Rose

We will discover how present local catastrophic flooding events help explain the global catastrophic nature of Noah's flood and its after effects. We will show how evidence is interpreted and which paradigm, the Biblical Flood or Uniformitarianism, best explains sedimentary rocks, fossils, and remnants of the ice age we find in our world today.

The Fame, Flack and Fallout: Report On My Talk at the Springfield, Illinois Library in February 2009 (200th Anniversary of Charles Darwin's Birthday) by John Mark Henry

John Henry spoke with MAC back in 2008 and shared with us a "draft" of his talk then in preparation for the Springfield, Illinois Public Library debut in February 2009. We look forward to hearing how well it was received and of the audience response. We know this will be an interesting time with John.

Biographical Sketch

Mr. Henry is a professor of Mathematics at a community college in Springfield, Illinois. He received a:
- a BA degree in Mathematics from Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL in 1980
- a MAT degree in Mathematics from Indiana University, Bloomington, IN in 1983
- a MA in mathematics from Indiana University, Bloomington, IN in 1986
John worked 6 years for the Department of Defense during which time he took their special training part time. He was "professionalized" as a Cryptologic/Cryptanalytic mathematician while with the DOD.

During the last 10 years, he has put together evolution/creation presentations in his spare time (about 1 every 2 years) and presented them at the local public library in the Springfield, Illinois area when he was ready. He always seems to draw a big crowd since evolutionists feel the public library is their "turf" which they are dedicated to defend.
