Rumor has it that something called a RATE Conference is scheduled for Sept. 15 in Denver, CO. What exactly, I hear you suspiciously inquire, might a RATE Conference be?
Well, I'm not entirely certain myself, but it seems to have to do with the age of the Earth according to radiometric dating, and how it proves that the whole shebang is 6,000 or so years old. Or something like that. Of course, they are scheduled to present some PhD-level experts to expound in depth on the subject. These notables include……
Dr. Gary ParkerWhile investigating the Biblical and scientific statements of creationist Gary Parker, I came across a puzzling story. Dr. Parker claims to have participated in a college debate where the Bible Department defended evolution, while he and a Science professor defended the Bible. I figured that some debate took place with some Bible department somewhere, but the description of this event seemed to be slanted in Parker's favor. Is that really what happened? Gary Parker's web site at Answers in Genesis states that he taught at Christian Heritage College, Eastern Baptist College, and Dordt College. He does not specify the college where The Debate took place. Dr. Parker now teaches at Clearwater Christian College.

Dr. John BaumgardnerJohn R. Baumgardner (b. ?) is a geophysicist, creationist, religious fundamentalist, and proponent of catastrophic plate tectonics.
Baumgardner has a Ph.D. in geophysics and space science from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and works at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, is Adjunct Professor of Geophysics at the Institute for Creation Research.[1]
He became a Christian at 26 and has tried to prove Noah's Flood scientifically ever since, creating a computer program called Terra to model the flood.[2]
In 1985, Baumgardner joined archaeologist and explorer Ron Wyatt and salvage expert David Fasold to Durup#305;nar, Turkey for an expedition recounted in Fasold's The Ark of Noah to locate the biblical ship's remains.[3]
Baumgardner appeared on the documentary television series Understanding episode "Evolution".

Dr. Russell HumpherysHumphreys's book called Starlight and Time presents a scientifically unorthodox cosmological model in which the Earth is several thousands of years old, but the outer edge of an expanding and rotating 3-dimensional universe is billions of years old, with various ages in between. He claims that this is based on Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. His critics, including other creationists, claim that he misrepresents science and question his research.
