Geology Conference

Third Annual Creation Geology Conference

The third annual Conference on Creation Geology will be held in conjunction with the BSG meetings again this year. The dates are July 29-31, at Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. The BSG meetings will include the Genesis Kinds Conference, the first installment which was held in England earlier this year (which was absolutely fantastic!). Registration details will be forthcoming.

Call for Abstracts

Abstracts are due April 4, 2009

Send them to tlclarey@delta.edu. The Creation Geology Group invites abstract submissions for their second joint conference, to be held July 29-31 2009 in Louisville, Kentucky. We seek submissions relevant to the life and earth sciences and the issue of origins. Submissions must offer positive, constructive interpretations or criticisms. Abstracts that are primarily negative or destructive in tone will not be accepted. All abstracts will be reviewed by an editor and at least one other specialist. Submissions will be judged on scientific merit, adherence to the guidelines, and relevance to creationism.

Guidelines

  • Abstracts should not be longer than 700 words. Examples of published abstracts can be found in the Conference Proceedings issues of the Occasional Papers of the BSG (OPBSG).Abstracts may include references (which are counted in the 700 word limit), but they must be formatted according to the guidelines of the Occasional Papers.
  • Abstracts must include a complete summary of the paper. That includes an introduction, methods, results, and conclusion where appropriate. Abstracts that do not include results or conclusions will be immediately returned for revision.
  • Abstracts should be written in English.
  • Names and affiliations of all authors should be included. Authors working independently should identify their affiliation as "Independent Scholar."

Accepted abstracts will be published on the Cedarville website.

Special thanks goes out to Todd Wood and the BSG for allowing us to use their abstract guidelines and format, and to join with them at the upcoming meeting.


Frontiers in Creation Research

August 7, 2008

The Second Conference on Creation Geology was held in conjunction with the BSG at the Green Tree Radisson Hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The meeting was held on August 7th, 2008, immediately following the conclusion of the 6th International Conference on Creationism. "Frontiers in Creation Science" was chosen as the theme. The BSG set aside an entire afternoon session for the geology-related talks. Five talks were presented and make up the 2008 proceedings.

Geology Education for the Future

July 26-28, 2007

Geology Education for the Future is the theme for a new conference designed to gather together the young earth creation geology community. All young earth creation geologists and earth science teachers are urged to attend. Technical and education sessions will be held on the first two days of the conference where professionals can present research, get feedback on new ideas, and develop collaborative relationships with one another. Time is planned for a local geology field trip and group discussion and interaction. General sessions will be held on the last day of the conference. General sessions will be open to the broader public and will cover topics that some professional participants may already be familiar with.

This conference is being jointly sponsored by Cedarville University and the Creation Research Science Education Foundation (CRSEF) of Columbus, Ohio. We are seeking other sponsors that can help underwrite the costs of the conference and can contribute toward honorariums for the general session speakers.

Although the conference has already taken place, the proceedings are still available online.
