(Tuesday, 7:00 – 8:30 pm)

Meeting Topic: Talk by Ray Mondragon – “Babel: Myth or History – The Importance to Creation Science.”

Abstract: “There are 4 foundational historical events that had drastic effects on the entire world:  Creation, Fall, Flood, and Babel.  These 4 events set the foundation for all the rest of world history.  This talk will be the first of two sessions on the Babel event.  In this first session, I plan to contrast the secular view with the biblical view on the origin of languages and the nations.  I will expound the biblical text (Gen 11:1-9) to set the foundation for the discussion on the implications of the event.  I will also give at least one example from archaeology for evidence of the rapid development of technology rather than an evolutionary process.  The second session will focus on several examples  from all around the world of early high technology, supporting the biblical worldview on early history.”

Speaker Biography:

“I haven’t always been a true believer in Jesus Christ. I grew up Roman Catholic in a small northern NM town (Taos). But it wasn’t until I was a student at UNM that I realized that something was missing—a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Being an athlete, I saw first hand from fellow athletes, what a real Christian looked like. Being involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, we were immediately thrust into ministry. Before long I developed a passion for studying God’s Word and discovered a gift for teaching it . . . ” (Ray’s website)
