COME AND EXPLORE THE HEAVENS ON AUGUST 15

Dr. Ronald G. Samec from Bob Jones University will discuss The Apparent Age of the Time Dilated Universe.

Time:	Book Table opens at 6:30 pm. Program starts at 7:00 pm.
Location:	Hosted by Second Presbyterian Church at 105 River Street, Greenville SC (map) A Love Offering will be collected to help sponsor future programs on creation issues.

ABSTRACT
In creation time dilation cosmologies (e.g., those proposed by Humphreys and Hartnett), one of the major questions is “What maximum apparent age should be used to characterize the universe?” There are many age bearing processes in today’s astronomy. Possible astrochronometers include spiral wind-up time, rotation and magnetic activity and spin down of solar type stars and binary star coalescence (magnetic braking), star cluster ages, simple Newtonian orbital motion, nuclear burning ages (H-R diagram isochron age), binary star circularization, stellar kinematic ages, white dwarf cooling age, and pulsar spin down age (due to gravitational radiation). The apparent age of the dilated universe will be presented in two parts.

Dr. Samec is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Bob Jones University and has taught at Butler University in Indianapolis, IN and Millikin University in Decatur, IL. He has over 200 professional publications. Ron has research interests in variable stars: Photoelectric, CCD photometry and spectroscopy and analysis of light and radial velocity curves of neglected eclipsing binary systems. Synthetic light curve techniques, star spot modeling in close binary systems, studying contact and near contact solar-type eclipsing binaries and eclipsing binary stars as tests of relativistic gravity.

UPDATE FOR ANDERSON CREATION STUDY GROUP—ACSG
Contact Steve LeMay; ACSGsteve@aol.com or 864-328-9723 for more details.

Their next meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, August 8^th at the Main Library in Anderson. They will have a family-friendly, back-to-school theme, featuring the award-winning "Incredible Creatures That Defy Evolution III" by Exploration Films. Plan now to attend and bring some youngsters to view spectacular evidence of God’s complex de­signs in dogs, penguins, birds, and other creatures He made.
