From Creation to Exodus: Exploring Biblical History

with David Lathrop

June 9 - June 30

Class Details

What if the Bible’s opening chapters are the most accurate record of our origins?

In this exciting 4-week journey, we’ll dive into the evidence from science and history that powerfully supports the Genesis-to-Exodus timeline: stunning and solid evidence from the fields of paleobiology, geology, astronomy, genetics, meteorology, and even archaeological discoveries, and secular ancient records that align with Scripture.

Come see why the Bible isn’t just spiritually true; it’s historically and scientifically correct. Bring your questions; the evidence might surprise you!

He is a retired teacher, and over the years has had the opportunity to take summer trips to many national parks and states (including Alaska,) the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum, and the Grand Canyon via rafting the Colorado River, just to name a few.
