Creation Mega Conference 2005!
If you are looking for entertainment this week, I recommend you follow the Answers in Genesis Creation Mega Conference 2005 blog. The conference is starting today, July 17, and is running through July 22 – and it’s “Featuring a stunning lineup of the world’s greatest minds in creation apologetics presenting their premier presentations. “ It looks like they will put some devotions and videos online, but if any Thumb-ites happen to be in the vicinity of Lynchburg, Virginia, and have the courage to attend for a day – you should come prepared to be stunned – we would be glad to post a report.
If anyone is looking for a suggested day, on Wednesday, Dr. Georgia Purdom is doing a talk on The Intelligent Design Movement; How Intelligent Is It?.
Looks like their poetry is almost as good as their science:
Twas’ the Night Before MEGA Conference (Part One)
Twas’ the night before MEGA Conference and all through Liberty, not a creationist was stirring, not even Carl Kerby. The books and DVDs were set out with care in hopes that people would buy them to share.
Anyhoo, if anyone goes, I would like to see if any of the creos attempt to deal with this Listing of Persistent Nuclides by Half-Life from Dalrymple’s The Age of the Earth (this particular table excludes radionuclides that are produced as by-products of decay from other radionuclides).
