Documentary Producer To Take A Fresh Look At Evolution

[received via email from Creation Evidence Expo...]

INDIANAPOLIS - The 2008 Creation Evidence Expo runs all day Saturday September 20th and evenings through Wednesday, September 24th at the Indianapolis Training Center, 2820 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis. The six Saturday education workshops, offered at no cost, begin at 9:00 a.m. The final workshop begins at 8:30 p.m.

Daily classes for school children about the theories of evolution and creation are being hosted by the expo September 22-26 at The Life Center of Southport, 4002 E. Southport Road, Indianapolis.

Johan Bos of Seattle, Washington, a seasoned independent television producer, is coming during the expo to interview the creation evidence guest speakers because of their renown in the field.

The expo was co-launched in 2005 by Rev. Fredrick Boyd, senior pastor of Zion Unity Missionary Baptist Church, 3855 E. 10th Street, Indianapolis, along with scientist Dr. Carl Baugh, of Glen Rose, TX. In 2001 Baugh shocked Boyd by showing the urban pastor evidence for a much younger earth than is taught in most schools. Baugh connected Boyd with additional creation evidence experts in order to bring this less-often reported information to the public.

Boyd launched the expo to help the community. “Evolution is destroying the minds of our children,” Boyd says, “by giving them false information as to who they are and where they’ve come from.”

Bos, whose career spans twenty-three years and nearly a dozen PBS documentaries, says he is more than curious to study the creation topic and explore why one side of the debate is given more attention than the other. Speaking by phone from filming in Salt Lake City, Utah, Bos said, “I’m excited to be (coming) there.” Bos said his job is to study subjects and reveal whatever story he finds. He adds, “Maybe we should take a fresh look at all this stuff.”

Bos will not be filming during this trip. Instead, he will be interviewing several of the key speakers: Dr. Carl Baugh, Dr. G. Charles Jackson, Dr. Willie E. Dye and G. Thomas Sharp. Additionally, Bos will speak with local expert Dr. John C. Whitcomb, of Carmel.

Dr. Baugh is director of the Creation Evidences Museum in Glen Rose, Texas. Baugh found dinosaur tracts overlapping man’s tracks in Permian rock. That discovery caused Baugh to challenge the evolutionary theory with new questions.

Purdue grad, Dr. Dye, an African-American archeologist from Torrence, CA, has been excavating important finds in man’s history. His main studies have emphasized biblical archeology.

Dr. Sharp is president of the Museum of Earth History in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Sharp focuses on what ideas have traditionally guided man’s interpretation of data.

Dr. Jackson is a science educator who focuses is on science textbooks used today that present as facts early scientific theories disproved many years ago.

John C. Whitcomb, PhD., a graduate of Princeton and a former evolutionist, now lives in Carmel. Whitcomb will speak on “The Origin of Man” Tuesday, Sept. 23rd and about dinosaurs and men, “The Genesis Flood and the Fossil Record,” on Wednesday, September 24th.

All evening talks will begin at 7:00 p.m. at 2820 N. Meridian Street, site of the Indianapolis Training Center. All Saturday and evening events are free and open to the public.
