FOUNDATIONS IN GENESIS OF IDAHO/OREGON

PRESENTS

Traveling to the Southwest Canyon Lands

or The Fabric of a FIGI/O Field Adventure

featuring Mr. Brent Carter

“Seeing the unseen through the seen” (Roman 1:20) characterizes most Field Adventures in the United States, or in fact throughout the world. God has used tremendous creative, purposeful and judgmental forces to illustrate our earth with fascinating and mysterious object lessons clearly visible for us to learn from every day. What are these object lessons and why do we need to adjust our world view accordingly? The huge, steep-walled canyons, the strange “hoodoo” forms, the transcontinental rock layers, the paper-thin contacts between rock layers, the fossils, and the ancient beds of yesteryear lakes, all point to exciting happenings in the recent past that are important for all to understand. The southwest canyon lands of Utah and Arizona are one of the most elaborate earth science laboratories in the world, given to us by God, for the purpose of teaching us about the awesome Biblical Flood. The presentation will include at least four important reasons to study the factual field evidences that God has shown us!

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.

FOUNDATIONS IN GENESIS OF IDAHO/OREGON

Foundations In Genesis of Idaho/Oregon, also known as ‘FIGI’ (pronounced fig-ee), is a local Creation Science organization that hosts Adult & Children's science seminars and geological field adventures. Bringing in scientists who are experts in their fields, FIGI Seminars & Field Adventures offer fascinating information and cutting edge evidence which encourages critical thinking and an understanding of factual science which are key in which worldview (biblical or evolutionary) a person chooses.

“For by Him all things were created…”   Colossians 1:16


“For in six days the Lord made the Heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them...”
Exodus 20:11

What does science tell us about the scriptures above? Did everything evolve millions of years ago from a big bang or are we living on a relatively young earth created by God? 

Please join us. Our seminars are lay people friendly and are offered at no charge.  Our geological field adventures consist of local one day trips and camping expeditions and costs are minimal. Check out our website for a history of our past seminars & Field Adventures and for upcoming events.
