Three area events to examine Higher Education vs. Global Flood

July 19, 2019 - 7:00pm
Genesis tells us that God destroyed all land and its inhabitants in judgment of sin within 1700 years of creation and Jesus affirms this in both the accounts of Luke and Mathew, yet modern academia (including many Christian schools) deny a global flood during the human experience. Could the "greatest minds of science" be wildly wrong about something as big as a moving continent or the interpretation of the fossil record? Have geologists been wrong about something this big in the recent past? Could the concept of geologic time be a runaway legend from the 20th century?

After a month, the boy came home and said casually, "By the way, Dad, I learned what Trinity means! It means 'The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.'"
The father could barely control his anger. He grabbed his son by the shoulders and said, "Listen here Boychick, there is only one God... and we don't believe in him!"
