Faith and Science Sunday

FAITH & SCIENCE SUNDAY

On Sunday, October 11, we will focus on apologetics, the Sunday after the SES National Apologetics Conference. We will not have any Life Groups. We will have two sessions in the worship center in place of our three regular services.

SCHEDULE FOR THAT DAY

9:00 A.M.: Dr. Fazale “Fuz” Rana will speak on Neanderthals

DR. FAZALE "FUZ" RANA
President and CEO
PhD in Chemistry

TOPIC: Adam, Eve, and the Neanderthals:
Reconciling Genesis and Human Origins

Every headline about Neanderthal DNA, human ancestors, and fossil discoveries raises the same question: how does any of it fit with Genesis? Did Neanderthals bear God’s image—or were they a distinct creation that came before humanity?

In this presentation, biochemist Dr. Fazale Rana addresses these questions head-on, examining what the fossil and genetic records truly reveal. Discover how the physical and behavioral differences between hominins and modern humans support the biblical truth that human beings alone are made in God’s image.

10:05: BREAK BETWEEN SESSIONS

10:30 A.M.: Hugh Ross will speak on UFOs

DR. HUGH ROSS
Founder and Senior Scholar
PhD in Astronomy

TOPIC: A Christian Perspective on UFOs

People everywhere are looking for honest answers to questions surrounding UFOs (now officially called unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAP), life on other planets, and space travel. About 99% of UFO reports can be explained by natural phenomena, military activity, or hoaxes. The remaining 1% fall in the category of nonphysical reality. When humans have close encounters with the 1%, the consequences are always deleterious: recurring terrifying nightmares, injury, mental illness, and even death. In many of the close encounters, there is a communicated message, usually through a trance or automatic writing. The messages typically contain scientific and theological errors. The theological errors focus on denying the deity of Jesus Christ. Humans who experience close encounters are those with open doors to the occult. This talks shows that from a biblical perspective, it is clear that the 1% residual is explained by the activity of fallen angels (demons).
