Dr. Purdom describes herself as a “teacher at heart” and this is clearly displayed in her presentations. As a former biology professor, she has the experience to make scientific concepts understandable to a wide variety of people.
9:00 – 10:00 “The Code of Life: DNA, Information, and Mutation”
Does the genetic evidence support one continuous evolutionary “tree of life” or a discontinuous “orchard” of separate kinds created by God? Can mutation and natural selection increase information in DNA and provide a mechanism for molecules-to-man evolution? These questions will be answered and equip you with biblical and scientific knowledge that shows Genesis is true history confirmed by the evidence in DNA.
10:00 – 10:30 Break / Book Table open
10:30 – 11:30 “Why? Answering Life’s Toughest Questions About God and Suffering”
Is the pain and sickness we suffer from just a natural part of millions of years of evolution? Or is suffering and death an intrusion on this world? Within a biblical worldview, we understand that suffering and death were not part of God’s original “very good” creation but entered as a result of man’s disobedience to God. God lovingly showed His grace and mercy by providing a way to spend eternity with Himself through sending His Son to pay the price for our sins. This very personal presentation will help you reconcile the existence of pain with a loving Creator and how He can use it for His glory.
11:30 – 12:00 Q & A / Book Table open (ask your questions!)

Topic: Hope Amid Despair: The Legacy of Eve
Eve was the original bad girl of the Bible. Her legacy was one of sin and despair that condemned the world. But she has another legacy—one of salvation and hope. By studying Eve, we’ll discover that where sorrow and despair abound, God’s love and mercy abound still more. This leads to hope in our own lives as we trust the Creator whose Word is true and keeps His promises.

I am a member of Grace Lutheran in DeWitt and am interested in introducing more specific information on Creation Science to our youth (2nd grade-adult). I have mentioned this to some of our youth leaders, and they are interested. I hope to find out more about your programs.
Thank you,
