Flat Gaps Have you ever heard of "paraconformities"? Learn more about them at http://bit.ly/Flat_Gaps Design In Fossil Organisms Have you ever had the opportunity to examine a real fossil? Maybe you have seen dinosaur bones or shells encased in rock. Do these remains of once living organisms look less designed than the creatures we find living around us? How might the same engineering challenges faced by living creatures have been solved by these ancient creatures? What do the conclusions we draw tell us about the Creator of these ancient yet elegant organisms? Shelley Quinn and Tim Standish, PhD Raúl Esperante - Dinosaurs, Fossils, and The Flood Raúl Esperante is a senior researcher at the Geoscience Research Institute and has a doctorate in Paleontology from Loma Linda University. His research projects include the study of fossil whales in Peru and the study of dinosaurs in different parts of the world. What do Fossils Tell Us? Fossils are fascinating objects that give us information about animals and plants of the past, but what do fossils tell us about origins? In this session of Fundamentals of Faith and Science, we explore the fossil record and its main features, as well as the different interpretations that have been proposed for its formation. Ronny Nalin - Geology, Hominids, and Biblical Record Ronny Nalin is Professor of Geology at Loma Linda University and Deputy Director of the Geoscience Research Institute. He has a PhD from the University of Padova and regularly publishes articles on sedimentology and stratigraphy in specialized magazines. How to Catch a Fossil Dr. Ronny Nalin explains why we find marine fossils both on flat areas of the continents and in the highest mountains, including Mt. Everest. What mechanisms produce such different results? Ronny Nalin - In the Beginning God Created Does the Bible present an understanding of origins that is obsolete in light of modern advancements in scientific knowledge? Are there better witnesses to truth than the Word of God, when it comes to origins? In this talk, Dr. Nalin shares his testimony of trust in the infinite wisdom of the Word of God, and introduces contributions from other scientists who have dedicated their life to the study of nature and have found that God's revelation is trustworthy in a way that pierces through all times and cultures. Leonard R. Brand - Science, Evolution, and Fossils Leonard R. Brand is a researcher and professor of Biology and Paleontology at Loma Linda University. He has published his research in scientific journals and has a PhD from Cornell University. Solving a Fossil Mystery Have you ever encountered someone who sees things that are not actually there? This can be a problem among those looking for dinosaur footprints. What one person thinks is a footprint might just seem like erosion on a rock to others. How can we tell the difference between “fake” and real dinosaur footprints? Watch to find out.
