Tom Henderson - Background Information

Specialty Areas for Creation Talks and Seminars:

Creation-Science - Scientific evidences favoring Creation, rather than Evolution, as an explanation of origins, No religious references are used, thus these talks are appropriate in USA public school settings.

Biblical Creation - Scientific and Biblical evidences favoring Creation, rather than Evolution, as an explanation of origins. Scripture is used to shed light on scientific findings, to give scientific findings a better historical perspective, and/or to predict what science may find. This gives purpose or meaning to scientific findings from a Biblical framework.
