Bill walks you through the pre-eruption of the mountain, drama of the eruption itself, and some geological lessons that we've learned since the 1980 catastrophe. Considering this most-studied volcano in the light of 2 Peter 3:1-6 is a great avenue for discussing a recent creation and a global flood to a secular-minded person, no matter their level of training (PhDs included). Emphasis on the factual, rather than the theoretical, can have a disarming effect.
About the speaker:
Bill is a professionally trained geologist with a heart for outdoor education. As a newborn Christian 40 years ago, he left a career in petroleum exploration to obtain a Masters in Science at the Institute for Creation Research where he was trained under the best creation scientists of the time, including Drs. Steve Austin, Henry Morris, and many others. After working for 16 years at ICR where he assisted in Grand Canyon research and radioisotope dating, he has been involved in education ever since, including one year of missionary service in China. Since coming to Christ in 1981 the conviction has never left him that the evolution story (and its necessary long ages) are aimed to destroy faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the truthfulness of the Gospel that motivates him in teaching, especially at the foundational level where creation and science meet.
