Our April speaker for RMCF will be Mr. Frank Sherwin from the Institute for Creation Research (ICR). Frank Sherwin has received positive response as a regular speaker at ICR seminars and various speaking events in churches all across the country. A former college instructor, Frank is now a speaker as well as an author and coauthor of ICR Acts & Facts articles and several books. He was co-author for the book, The Human Body: An Intelligent Design and author of The Ocean Book. Frank Sherwin received his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Western State College, Gunnison, Colorado, in 1978. After several years as an Emergency Medical Technician for a municipal fire department, he attended graduate school at the University of Northern Colorado where he studied under one of the foremost parasitologists in America. In 1985, Frank obtained a Master’s Degree in Zoology and published his research in the Journal of Parasitology. From 1987 to 1996, Frank taught a variety of biology, nursing, and premedical courses at Pensacola Christian College. Frank left PCC to engage in creation ministry full time, a vocation in which he has been actively participating in through seminars, debates, and radio broadcasts since 1979.
Frank will be speaking twice that Friday night. The title of his first talk will be Mount St. Helens. Although only Noah and his family saw the Genesis flood occur, the Mount St. Helens explosion offers an outdoor laboratory of processes that probably occurred during the year-long event (Genesis 6-9). Many of the features which geologists believe take long periods have been seen to form rapidly: deposition, erosion, fossilization, petrifaction, coal formation, and radioisotope dating. All these areas of study point to a young earth and not a earth that is billions of years old!
The title of Frank’s second talk is Human Evolution. Ever since Darwin, evolutionists have insisted we accept our primate ancestry. Indeed, this field has been troublesome to many Christians. However, the fossil record fails to show how that such a strange progression of ape-to-man occurred. Alleged missing links are addressed (e.g. 'Lucy' and Neanderthals) as well as arguments from biochemistry (the similarity in human and chimpanzee DNA) and anatomy (tonsils, "tailbone" and the appendix). Through devastating quotes from secular sources, Mr. Sherwin shows the man-from-ape idea to be speculative only. The Bible, the fossil record and good science continue to show that people have always been people – created in God’s image.
