Talk open to the public begins after our private AGM, to start at roughly 7:30pm.
We have seen a renewed interest in the Flat Earth concept over the last few decades. Before the 6th century BC some cultures believed that the earth was flat, but since then many scientific discoveries have provided evidence that the earth is a sphere. Most people believed that the earth is indeed a sphere right through the Middle Ages until a British inventor and writer re-introduced the Flat Earth concept in the 19th century. We examine 1) the history of geodesy, 2) how flat earthers explain and defend their belief, 3) what the Bible teaches about the shape of the earth, 4) what scientific observations tell us, and 5) the challenges faced by those who believe in a flat earth. How do we explain this recent renewed interest in the Flat Earth concept?
About the speaker:
Dr. Heinz Lycklama earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering physics and a Ph.D. degree in experimental Nuclear Physics from McMaster University in Canada. Since then he has worked in the telecommunications and computer software industries. In 2013 Heinz founded the Apologetics Forum to help equip believers in the defense of the Faith.
Challenged in his Christian faith by what he was taught in university in the 1960s, Dr. Lycklama has always maintained an active interest in the Creation vs. Evolution controversy. As his children reached school age and began to ask questions about what they were taught in school, he became more involved in researching the topic of Creation vs. Evolution. He has developed a series of lectures on this topic over the years and presented the material in Sunday school classes, to college students, during church services, at Bible Schools, and other venues in Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Cameroon, and Thailand, as well as in Canada and the USA.
Dr. Lycklama’s lectures, help the believer defend the Bible’s teaching on Creation and challenge the skeptic to take an honest look at what the Bible AND science have to say about Creation.
