Meeting Topic: A talk by Kent Powderly on “The Era of Epistemological Breakdown” (Part IV of Creation in History).

“Epistemology” is the study of how we know what we know, or the mechanics of knowledge and our ability to reason. Its breakdown in society affects our ability to communicate evangelism in general, and Creation evangelism in particular.

  • How did our civilization get to this place?
  • Where can we go from here in Creationism as a movement?
  • What new dangers face us?

Come find out!

Kent has presented three times before on the topics of church history, the development of Creation doctrine, significant people involved, and more. This talk will summarize the history (very difficult) and talk about the state of thinking today: “Epistemology” in action.

Meeting Topic: A video by Mark Armitage relating to his work with Dinosaur Soft Tissue.

“In May 2012, Mark Armitage made a discovery that he had dreamed of for years. While digging in Montana, he uncovered one of the largest triceratops horns ever found in the Hell Creek Formation, a legendary stack of fossil-bearing rocks that date to the last days of the dinosaurs. Armitage drove the horn back home to Los Angeles, California, where his microscopic examination revealed that it contained not only fossilized bone but also preserved layers of soft tissue. ‘They were brown, stretchy sheets. I was shocked to see anything that was that pliable,’ he says.”

Since that time, soft tissue found in “fossil” remains has become rather common. Here is a link to some of his work:
