The field of forensics has grown far beyond catching criminals by finding their fingerprints or footprints at crime scenes, techniques first popularized in Sherlock Holmes’ mysteries 100-plus years ago. Over the decades, investigative advancements in forensics have made significant progress and solved untold numbers of crimes. They have become a part of popular culture, including various TV programs.
Recognizing how the field of forensics can be applied to apologetics, Dr. Jennifer Rivera leads popular hands-on forensics programs at AiG’s attractions as the Director of Educational Programs. In addition to over 15 years of teaching experience in the sciences, Dr. Rivera holds an education doctorate in curriculum and instruction, an MAT with a science concentration, and a BA in criminal justice, with hundreds of training hours in the forensic disciplines. Dr. Rivera used to work in a crime scene unit in southern Florida (no, it wasn’t of CSI: Miami TV fame!) and has had multiple speaking engagements for the International Association for Identification, the largest organization for crime scene personnel.
Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson holds a PhD in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University. He serves as a research biologist, author, and speaker with Answers in Genesis and formerly conducted research with the Institute for Creation Research.
His current research involves using DNA comparisons to understand the true origin of species.
While at Harvard, Dr. Jeanson was actively involved in adult stem cell research and published several peer-reviewed papers in secular journals in his field. His current research involves using DNA comparisons to understand the true origin of species, and to understand human origins and human history. Dr. Jeanson has published groundbreaking results on this question. In addition, he has contributed to several books, including The Design and Complexity of the Cell and Creation Basics and Beyond, and he authored The Lost Treasures of Genesis, Replacing Darwin: The New Origin of Species, Replacing Darwin Made Simple, and Traced: Human DNA’s Big Surprise. Dr Jeanson recently published They Had Names: Tracing the History of the North American Indigenous People.

The Great Turning Point Kindle Edition

Many people in the Church today have the idea that “young-earth” creationism is a fairly recent invention, popularized by fundamentalist Christians in the mid-20th century. Is this view correct? In fact, scholar Terry Mortenson has done fascinating original research on this subject in England, and documents that several leading, pre-Darwin scholars and scientists, known as “scriptural geologists” did not believe in long ages for the earth. Mortenson sheds light on the following:
- Before Darwin, what did the Church believe about the age of the earth?
- Why did it believe this way?
- What was the controversy that rocked the Church in 19th-century England?
- Who were the “scriptural geologists”?
- What influences did the Church contend with even before Darwin’s book?
- What is the stance of the Church today?
This book is a thoroughly researched work of reference for every library - certainly every creationist library. Terry Mortenson spent much time and work on this project in both the United States and Great Britain. The history of the Church and evolution is fascinating, and it is interesting to see not only the tremendous influence that evolution has had on the Church, but on society as well.
