Geology Field Trip to Explore Issues in Science and the Bible

From News Release, March 9, 2016:    A traveling seminar organized by Adventists will provide opportunities to track dinosaurs, study living sand dunes made up of sand eroded from fossil sand dunes, investigate a lava flow perched on a ridge of sandstone in the middle of a canyon, check out petrified trees and investigate evidence of ancient environments. There will be ample opportunity for discussion and sharing. The field trip will include seven days of intense engagement with the rocks surrounding St. George, Utah. It will include visits to sites in Zion National Park, Buckskin Gulch and Valley of Fire. There will be field work by day and conversation around the campfire by night.
