Earth: Designed For Life
In this Mini Conference Dr. Sherwin brings two seminars on the theme of Earth: Designed For Life on Saturday morning from 9:00 AM until 12 noon with a break after the first seminar, and extended Q&A after the second seminar:
- Session 1: The Wonderful Oceans – Dr. Sherwin discusses the amazing variety of marine life found in venues from tidal pools all the way to crushing ocean depths over five miles down. He also talks about the critical connection between moon-induced tides and weather, and important paths or currents in the oceans mentioned in Scripture (Psalm 8). Finally, he addresses how the volume of water in the oceans relates to the Genesis Flood.
- Session 2: Hummingbirds By Design – Of all the birds of God’s creation, the hummingbird might be the most remarkable. Everything about these creatures shouts design. Their little hearts can beat more than 1,000 times a minute, while their wings beat from 50 to 80 times a second. Its specialized interaction with plants, visual color range, complex vocalization, unique flight, and physiological capabilities are a testament to God’s design.
- There will be an extended time for Q&A after the second seminar.
Speaker: Dr. Frank Sherwin received his bachelor’s degree in biology from Western State College, Gunnison, Colorado, in 1978. He attended graduate school at the University of Northern Colorado, where he studied under the late Gerald D. Schmidt, one of the foremost parasitologists in America. In 1985, Dr. Sherwin obtained a master’s degree in zoology. He published his research in the peer reviewed Journal of Parasitology. In 2021, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Pensacola Christian College. He contributes his scientific expertise to a variety of ICR’s publications on creation science and is one of ICR’s most sought-after speakers. He is the author of The Ocean Book and Guide to Animals, co-author of The Fossil Record: Unearthing Nature’s History of Life and The Human Body: An Intelligent Design, and a contributor to Guide to Creation Basics and Creation Basics & Beyond.

Discovery of Design
In this Mini Conference Dr. DeYoung brings two seminars on the theme of Discovery of Design on Saturday morning from 9:00 AM until 12 noon with a break after the first seminar, and extended Q&A after the second seminar:
- Session 1: Design in Nature and Biomimicry – Dr. DeYoung presents practical design ideas learned about nature, and how these ideas were applied to the design of velcro (e.g. feathers), and in medical tests (e.g. horseshoe crabs). Design examples are shown in flight, water life, land animals, people, and plants.
- Session 2: The Moon, Our Nearest Neighbor in Space – Dr. DeYoung covers the important facts about earth’s moon, including: a) natural moon origin theories, b) evidences for the moon’s recent supernatural creation, and c) the moon’s importance for our survival and well-being.
- Session 3: Extended Q&A.
Speaker: Dr. Don DeYoung is a creation scientist and educator specializing in astronomy and physics. He holds an emeritus science faculty position at Grace College, Winona Lake, Indiana following a career in teaching and research. Don is a graduate of Michigan Tech (B.S., M.S.), Grace Seminary (M.Div.), and Iowa State University (PhD, physics). He has written 21 books on Bible-science topics including object lessons for kids.
Don is a Fellow and past president of the Creation Research Society with over 1700 members worldwide.
