ISCAST Perth: Dinosaurs, Earthquakes, and Deep Time – Planet Earth on the Front Line of Science and Faith

This event has passed

Planet earth is the beautiful home that God provided for us to live in and care for, yet it can bring suffering—think earthquakes and volcano disasters. How old is it? Did Noah’s flood cause the rocks we see today? What do dinosaurs and other fossils tell us? The new science of geology was the enemy of Church and Bible in the 19th century—or was it? We’ll discuss all these issues, with a plethora of visual imagery.
