So did we come from monkeys? Or did God create us? Or both?
Are evolution and creation compatible? Did humans and dinosaurs coexist?
Is the world billions or thousands of years old?
These are some of the main topics that creation science evangelist Steve Grohman, PhD, is covering in the "Creation Seminar" at United Pentecostal Church, at 180 Oak St. in Batavia.
Grohman visits hundreds of churches and schools -- both public and private -- every year to present scientific evidence for the Creationist theory of the universe. Pastor John Hatch of United Pentecostal invited The Batavian to see him in action, and Grohman was kind enough to answer some questions in a video interview.
Yesterday was the first day of the Creation Seminar. Each session is different, and a variety of topics are covered -- including geology, fossil records, the Great Flood of Genesis, etc. The congregation welcomes anyone who would like to attend, including skeptics.
The remaining times and dates are as follows:
1 to 3 p.m. and 6:45 to 8:45 p.m., Monday, May 3
6:45 to 8:45 p.m., Tuesday, May 4
6:45 to 8:45 p.m., Wednesday, May 5
