Science and Faith Series
October 19, 2013
Immanuel Presbyterian Church
114 Carlisle Blvd. SE, Albuquerque
“Geology and Genesis: Scientific and Theological Perspectives on the History of the Earth”.
Perhaps the most visible flashpoint of conflict between science and religion in America regards the history of the earth. “Young-earth creationists” reject both the concept of biological evolution and the consensus opinion of geologists that the earth is billions of years old, in favor of an interpretation of Genesis that posits a literal Garden of Eden a few thousand years ago. How strong is the scientific evidence for the history of the earth? For the writers of Genesis, what was the point of the creation and Eden stories? This talk will explore these questions from the perspective of a professional geologist who is also a life-long Christian.
Dr. Fred Phillips is Professor of Hydrology at New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology, in Socorro, NM. He has worked for much of his 40-year career on developing methods for dating the surface of the earth that employ radionuclides produced by cosmic rays. He is a recipient of the F.W. Clarke Medal (Geochemical Society) and the O.E. Meinzer and Kirk Bryan Awards (Geological Society of America). Dr. Phillips is a member of Epiphany Episcopal Church in Socorro.
