“Millions of Years: Unscientific and Catastrophic Ideas” with Dr. Terry Mortenson

Back to Presentations

To really understand what is wrong with belief in millions of years, we need to go back to the early 19th century and study the origin of this idea. This unique and interesting lecture, based on Dr. Mortenson’s PhD research, will clearly show that the idea was not the result of just letting the rocks and fossils “speak for themselves” but rather comes from anti-Biblical worldviews (or philosophical assumptions) being imposed on the geological evidence. The talk explains the key men who helped develop the idea of millions of years, one of the geologically competent Christians who opposed those theories, and the subsequent consequences of the church’s compromise with millions of years.

This event is free with paid museum admission or Museum membership. Seating is first come, first served.

Dr. Terry Mortenson: Dr. Terry Mortenson earned a PhD in history of geology and has lectured on the creation-evolution controversy in 35 countries since the late 1970s.
