Sunday, November 17
Paul Taylor, the Director of Mount St. Helens Creation Center, will be with us at the worship services and during the Sunday School hour.
Worship Services, 8:30 am and 11:00 am: Paul Taylor, speaks on Creation or Evolution: Who Cares? Why does it matter what Christians believe on the subject? The talk aims to show the correct biblical way to think through the issues, and the implications for other Biblical doctrines.
Sunday School Hour, 9:45 am: Paul Taylor will give a talk on Only Believe. The Christian “world” seems to be full of apologists today, trying to defend the Christian faith, and prove the existence of God. This honorable intent is marred by the fact that most modern apologists attempt their ministry in a manner which is unbiblical. In this talk, taken from the book of the same name, Paul gives an introduction to biblical apologetics, commonly known as presuppositional apologetics. He shows its biblical basic, and outlines its methodologies.
Speaker: Paul Taylor was born and grew up near Manchester in the North of England. He studied piano at Chetham’s School of Music, but read Chemistry at the University of Nottingham. Paul taught Chemistry, Physics and Science in government (“public”) schools in England and Wales for 18 years, eventually becoming a Head of Science, with a Masters in Science Education and Management from the University of Cardiff.
Paul was saved at the age of 15. He came across creationist literature in his late teens, and quickly became involved in speaking and writing on the subject of creation and evolution, Genesis and apologetics. Since 2005, he has been a full-time creation speaker, having worked for Answers in Genesis (UK/Europe) and Creation Today. He and his wife are the Directors of the Mount St Helens Creation Center. Paul is married to Geri, and they have five children between them.
