Denver Society of Creation
On October 4, Dr. Barbara Helmkamp, Ph.D. will be returning as our speaker! Her topic will be “Who Done it? Geology as Forensic Science”. Genesis chapters 1-9 give the essential framework for earth’s biological and physical history. God makes the cosmos in six days, including mankind—that is, Adam and Eve. Plants are given for food so there is no carnivory—until death enters the world with Adam’s fall. Nine very long generations later, God sends a global flood that reconfigures the surface of the planet. A convincing case for the Flood is plainly seen in earth’s rocks—assuming the eyewitness testimony isn’t disallowed. Spoiler: Lord Peter Wimsey does exonerate the Duke of Denver from accusation of murder even though the jury never knows the Duke’s whereabouts.
