Show Creation And Science Don't Conflict Geologist Contends ESCALANTE Reconciling science with the Bible after his conversion to Christianity in 1981 was the challenge facing geologist William A. Hoesch. Hoesch, now employed with the Institute for Creation Research as their Public Information Officer, will be speaking Thursday, Apr. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Escalante Community Center. Hoesch received his bachelor's degree in geology from the University of Colorado in 1981; He worked afterwards as a geologist, engineer, and geophysical technician in the oil industry, both abroad and in the U.S. He received his masters degree in geology from the Institute for Creation Research graduate school and is pursuing his doctorate in geology. Following his conversion to Christianity in 1981 he realized many dramatic changes concerning his perspective on origins. In spite of the vast popular and widespread belief in a self-created universe, he found this evolutionary origin explanation to be scientifically untenable and irreconcilable with a rational rendering of Scripture. Hoesch, who will be speaking on "The Six Trade Secrets of Science" says, "Springing from the (See CREATION on Page 4-A) CREATION From Front Page crucial passage in Romans 1:16-25 on natural revelation, emphasis is placed on the fact that science is important. It is shown that God has revealed Himself clearly through the study of nature (science), that man is 'without excuse' in denying God's existence. Scientific evidences are presented which strongly support the creationist view of earth history," he says, "demonstrating that true science is the friend, not the foe of Christians." Hoesch, who resides in Santee, Calif., is a frequent guest on the weekly radio program, "Science, Scripture, and Salvation." He speaks at college campuses, local churches, and creation seminars, and enjoys leading backpacking trips into the Grand Canyon each year. Books will be on sale before and after the meeting and a freewill offering will be taken to offset the speaker's expenses. More information is available at 435-826-4915. |
