SEMO Bible Science Fellowship to meet

Bill Barnes will give a presentation from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Cape Bible Chapel. It will be held in the downstairs conference center.

Does the study of language give us evidence for the Biblical account? Was there one original language and others "evolved" from that? Or was there one language and others were created by God when He dispersed man at the Tower of Bable event? Does the study of language give us evidence for the Biblical account? Barnes, will present evidence for the dispersion.

Barnes has worked as a material scientist for 15 years in the defense and aerospace industries developing and producing various aluminum and magnesium alloys that are cast, rolled or extruded. Upon further examination of the believed theory of evolution, Bill was led to question all he was taught on the subject and compare it with the biblical model of creation. After six months of investigation, Bill was totally won over to the creation side of the origins debate. Bill has been in the creation ministry since 1997 and believes this subject is foundational for fighting for objective truths in our culture.
