Creation Science Curriculum

We attended the local Back to Genesis seminar this weekend. I picked two of the creation science books that were already on the HMTP and the two RATE books that I have been wanting. While we are in the mood for making drastic changes to the reading schedule I feel the urge to put some effort into trying to aggressively schedule these books as part of our ongoing science education curriculum.

STARLIGHT AND TIME, by D. Russel Humphreys.
Subtitled, "Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe." That's enough for me. Humphreys was very interesting at the conference. I just hope the book is not too technical for me to follow.

GENETIC ENTROPY & THE MYSTERY OF THE GENOME, by J.C. Sanford.
This one presents information that the accumulated mutations in our DNA proves that humans could not have been on this planet for millions of years. No species can indefinitely survive a rate of mutation greater than 1 per generation. We are living under a rate at least 100 times that.

RADIOISOTOPES AND THE AGE OF THE EARTH, ed. by Larry Vardiman et.al.
RADIOISOTOPES AND THE AGE OF THE EARTH, Vol 2, ed. by Larry Vardiman et.al.
The RATE books are very technical, and very expensive. But I deem them to be essential reading if we hope to have even the most rudimentary understanding of the conclusions made in them. This in information is the kind we would like to use in conversations with "deep time" people.

There is another, more technical, conference coming to Denver on Saturday, September 15, 2007. Registration required. 800-743-6374. www.icr.org/conference.

There is also supposed to be an conference at the Pikes Peak Center in April, 2008. It would be great to read these books before then. Just a thought.
