FOUNDATIONS IN GENESIS OF IDAHO
FIGI
PRESENTS
STARLIGHT AND TIME
by Dr. Russell
Humphreys
Have you ever wondered, "Is
there a 'CENTER' of the universe? That's a BIG question to which the big bang
theory answers 'no'. A fascinating look into the Bible-based assumption that
there is a center of the universe together with Einstein's theory of relativity
provides something incredible. A way to get light from distant galaxies to the
Earth in one ordinary day, the fourth day of creation! A young Biblical 6000
year old Earth. Presented in simple layman's language, no equations or jargon.
The toughest thing to explain is how the Big Bang theorists imagine a cosmos
without a center.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr. Humphreys was born
on 2 February 1942 in Wyandotte, Michigan, U.S.A., and was raised in a
scientifically aware but non–Christian household. Not surprisingly, Russell
himself always had a love for science. In 1959 he was one of the 40 winners
of the Westinghouse National Science Talent Search. He received his B.S. in
physics at Duke University in 1963 then moved to Louisiana State University
to study postgraduate physics. He committed his life to Christ in the midst
of his graduate work. Overall, Dr Humphreys' research has been very
wide-ranging. In 1972, he was awarded a Ph.D. in physics on cosmic rays and
ultrahigh energy nucleon–nucleon interactions, by which time he was a fully
convinced creationist due to both the biblical and scientific evidence. For
the next six years he worked in the High Voltage Laboratory of General
Electric Company, designing and inventing equipment and researching
high–voltage phenomena. While there, he received a U.S. patent and one of
Industrial Research Magazine's IR–100 awards. Beginning in 1979 he worked
for Sandia National Laboratories in nuclear physics, geophysics,
pulsed-power research, and theoretical atomic and nuclear physics. In 1985,
he began working with Sandia's 'Particle Beam Fusion Project', and was
co-inventor of special laser-triggered 'Rim fire' high-voltage switches. |

A free-will offering will be received at both seminars to
help cover the cost of bringing this outstanding speaker to our area.
CHILDREN’S CREATION SEMINARS
A Children’s Creation Seminar for children ages
5 - 12 accompanies each adult seminar. These seminars are designed for
children, presenting the same topic and information that is being offered in the
adult seminars. Children will receive an interactive mini-lecture combined with
demonstrations, songs, experiments, games, activities and snacks that all reinforce the topic.
Critical thinking skills are encouraged. We have grand time learning, sharing &
exploring theories, biology, geology, chemistry and more.
ENJOY OUR FELLOWSHIP TIME Please bring finger foods for our fellowship time following the seminar. This
fellowship time is a great opportunity to ask questions, meet new people, and to
visit with the speaker and with friends.
CREATION RESOURCES will be available for purchase
at both locations. DVD's, books, T-shirts, and more will be on display.
FIGI has produced some very nice T-shirts with a creation theme. All
proceeds from the purchase of these T-shirts goes to support the activities of FIGI.
