Admission is FREE.
Some people have said the Bible is inaccurate in the areas of history and science. If this is true, the Bible’s teachings about life and eternity should not be trusted. In his talk, Pastor Jim Scudder Jr. will show that the Bible can absolutely be trusted, as he has interviewed many PhD experts in science and archaeology to uncover the truth on this critical topic. Through amazing discoveries in both science and archaeology, Pastor Scudder will present compelling evidence supporting the Bible’s accuracy.
This is the Creation Education Museum's last speaker series for the year, making it an unmissable opportunity to explore the intersection of faith, science, and history. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this talk will leave you with powerful insights that challenge assumptions and encourage thoughtful reflection.
