I had the wonderful priviledge of being
received at the Institute for Creation Research, Dallas on Tuesday 25th 2013,
on my return trip from a Scientific conference in nearby state of Georgia. Early evidence of divinely-ordered steps include my arriving at
the front door just as Dr John D. Morris was stepping in. I simply could not restrain my excitement at the
pleasure of meeting him and having a warm handshake!
It was a great priviledge joining the
ICR family at devotion, and being treated to a comprehensive tour of the
facility by amiable Dr Jake Hebert – meeting several famous personalities whose
articles and research works I had fed on for over a decade. A further confirmation of the Lord’s ordering
of these events was the rescheduling of Dr Jake Hebert’s “brown paper”
presentation on the Ice Ages. This
premiere presentation, as it were, was shifted back a day, and was presented on
the day of my visit. Not only did I have
the priviledge of listening to a most educative, witty, and fascinating
presentation on the Ice ages, I also had the rare opportunity of seeing the ICR
at work, as invaluable critiques were made to the presentation - starting from
John Morris himself. I probably had a
semester-worth of learning in those 2 -3 hours!
I also had physical tangible blessings
to show for the trip. In a true
Christian spirit, I was loaded with a number of latest resources from the
ICR. The list include the books:
Five
Evidences for a Global Flood (Brad Forlow, 45 pp, 2011)
Why GENESIS
Matters (Jason Lisle, 54pp,
2012
Five Reasons
to Believe in Recent Creation (Henry M. Morris III, 45pp, Feb 2011)
Dinosaurs
and the Bible (Brian Thomas,
58pp, May 2013)
Exploring
the Evidence for Creation (Henry M. Morris III, 115pp, Dec 2011)
Taking Back
Astronomy (Jason Lisle, 125pp, Oct 2012)
The
Stargazer's Guide to the Night Sky (Jason
Lisle, 240pp, Apr 2012)
Guide to Creation
Basics (ICR, 117pp, May 2013)
The Design
and Complexity of the Cell (Jeffrey
P. Tomkins, 129pp, Jun 2012)
and the DVD
Wonder of God
It is my intention to donate all these
resources to jumpstart a Campus Christian Creation Society on the Obafemi Awolowo
University. Interested students (and
staff!), particularly from such fields as Geology, Philosophy, Physics,
Theology, etc where various forms of the dubious evolution theory is being
forced down students’ throats as fact, should please see me for further
details.
