Speaker
Dr. Jake Hebert
Research Scientist
Living to 900: Fossil Evidence for One of the Bible's Most Amazing Claims | 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Did humans really live for hundreds of years, as described in the Bible? Did animals also live longer and grow larger than they do today? In this presentation, Dr. Hebert addresses these questions as he discusses the topic of longevity. First, he will present compelling evidence showing that humans in the pre-Flood world lived for centuries. Second, he will discuss how animals dealt with few genetic defects thus resulting in longer lifespans. Third, he will explain how fossils help unlock the mystery of these longer lifespans.
This is a free event, however registration is required.
Please note: Attendance is limited to current college students ages 18 - 25.
