2005 Creation Mega Conference |
Liberty University is hosting the 2005 Creation Mega Conference from
July 17 to 22nd. Details on the participants are at
http://www.answersingenesis.org/events/megaconference/speakers.aspx or
link from The Landover Baptist Church website,
http://www.landoverbaptist.org/. Its on the right hand side of the
January issue.
The rooster of speakers includes several PhD's from real universities
with real science degrees. OK, they are Answers In Genesis, but they
are real scientists. Therefore, they know what a scientific theory is.
They know what evolution is. They can give us an actual Theory of
Creation and provide positive evidence for it. They can be expected to
correct poorly informed Creationist when there is errors in defining
Evolution and the Theory of.
Among the speakers are:
Dr. John Baumgardner
B.S. (Texas Tech University, electrical engineering), M.S. (Princeton
University, electrical engineering), Ph.D. (UCLA, geophysics and space
physics)
U.S. News and World Report called Dr. Baumgardner 'the world's
preeminent expert in the design of computer convection.' His
technical work at Los Alamos National Laboratory (New Mexico) included
development of a new global ocean model for investigating climate
change.
Dr. Baumgardner will be presenting:
Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together: Global Tectonics and the Flood
He may be the John R Baumgardner who co-wrote TIME SCALES AND
HETEROGENEOUS STRUCTURE IN GEODYNAMIC EARTH MODELS, By: Bunge,
Hans-Peter, Richards, Mark A., Lithgow-Bertelloni, Carolina,
Baumgardner, John R., Grand, Stephen P., Romanowicz, Barbara A.,
Science, 00368075, 04/03/98, Vol. 280, Issue 5360
The article does not mention God, Genesis, The Flood, or Creationism so
I do not know if they are the same person. The article does discuss
geological events from of 100 million years ago. If these are the same
person, why does Dr Baumgardner ignore YEC in his professional
publications? If he truly believes the earth is less than 10,000 years
old then writing about the Cenozoic and Mesozoic in a professional
journal is unethical. That is not a Christian value. Dr Jerry Falwell
should dis-invite him.

Would you describe a *real* scientist by proclaiming him a "real
scientist"? Therein lies the difference between creationism and
reality.
First, if they publish in peer reviewed journals and have a degree
from
a legit university, they are real scientist regardless of the crap
they
write off the job;
Second, I am allowed by imperial proclamation of Ming the
Merciless,
somewhere on Planet Mongo.

Hmm..
I don't have a degree in any scientific discipline.
On the other hand, I have published in scientific journals, carry out
original research and have made a fair number of presentations at
scientific symposia.
Am I a scientist?
A science degree means the person has a formal science education and
should know better. The creationists who do have such a formal
education and who Jekyll/Hyde their professional work are my target.
Yes, you do science. You publish and expect a rational review of your
work. You are a scientist.
(Yes, you are now a scientist by imperial decree in the name of Ming
yada yada yada, please exit through the gift shop.)
