Patrick Nurre was in the second grade when he made his first big find – a large dinosaur bone in the alley behind his house! That was the beginning of a love for geology. Raised in beautiful Montana, he spent many days rockhounding near the Big Horn River. This early interest led him to a lifelong study of the world of geology. Patrick was trained in secular geology, but after becoming a Christian, he began to seriously reevaluate his previous evolutionary beliefs, and became, instead, a young-earth creationist.
Today, Patrick conducts geology classes (PreK-12) and seminars in the Seattle area, and speaks at numerous home school and church conventions on geology and our young earth. He also leads a variety of geology field trips every year, including Yellowstone Park, where he helps families discover the Biblical geology of the Park. Patrick is the vision behind Northwest Treasures, a 501(c)3 corporation, devoted to creating excellent geology kits, curricula and education for all ages. To help in this endeavor, Patrick has written 19 textbooks on geology. In the fall of 2012, he opened the Geology Learning Center, a museum/educational center in the Seattle area. Patrick is a Certified Biblical Creation Ministry Professional. He and his wife, Vicki, have three wonderful children and two grandchildren, and live in Bothell, Washington.
Mr. Nurre will be speaking on geology with an eye towards the following day's safari to Rocky Mountain National Park. Refreshments will be served after the presentation. Please join us!
