Dr. Cserháti Mátyás: Trends in Genetics in Creation Science When: Friday, October 09, 2015, 07:00pm Where: 5900 E. Yale Ave, Denver, CO

On October  9, RMCF will host Christian biologist Dr. Cserháti Mátyás, an expert on genetics who spoke at the Creation Research Society conference in Dallas this summer, addressing the subject of bacterial genome decay from a baraminological viewpoint. “Matt”, as he is called, is currently working at the U. of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, where he is involved in a group that provides bioinformatics services to others, and in other projects, such as human genome analysis of archaic humans.  Born of Hungarian parents in California, Matt moved to Hungary at age 13 and earned a MSc in biology from Eötvös Loránd University and a Ph.D. at the University of Szeged in 2011. His research was about the development of a motif dyad prediction algorithm in the regulatory sequences of co-regulated genes.

While in Hungary in 2001, Matt co-founded a creationist group called Protestant Creation Research Group, which began with six students and grew to a mailing list of 150+ people, and remains active today. The group has participated in debates with the members of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Matt has given presentations in some 30+ cities in Hungary, and has translated two high school creationist textbooks from German to Hungarian.

Dr. Cserháti’s topic is entitled, "Trends in Genetics in Creation Science". Such trends continue to give surprising support for creation science. Phenomena such as genetic conservation, genome decay, and genetic functionality are all contrary to what evolution would predict. The genomes of organisms harbor genetic elements with complex functions, debunking the myth of junk DNA. Genetic functions are conserved across organisms, defying evolutionary innovation. Bacterial genomes undergo decay instead of evolution. Many other genetic phenomena will be covered which refute evolution and prove creation.
