Dr. Kirt Martin Lecture

David and Annie reserved a nice big room at Cloud Coffee, close to the Yellow Dragon stadium. Cloud Coffee Shop had everything we needed: screen for displaying PPT, lights, microphones, a side room for watching children. Chinese Lucy invited a friend who video recorded the speeches for us. We counted about 35 adults and 6 children. The JiuLian church family came and several ladies from our neighborhood. There were about 10 visitors I had never seen before. Ronald, the Hardin’s friend, traveled from across the river.

David translated for Dr. Martin’s first class: geological evidence that the Earth is young, not millions and billions of years old. Elaine translated for the second class: there is not one bit of proof that one species has evolved into another species. The fossil record evidence shows many species all appearing at the same time, all fully formed eyes, spinal cords, limbs, skeletons, stomachs, intestines, digestive glands.

Dr. Martin’s wife, Nancy, arrived in China one week before he did. Kirt and Nancy have two girls, one in Ukraine and one here in Hangzhou. Kirt and Nancy visit their girls, sons-in-law, and grandchildren every year. So not only did we enjoy Dr. Martin’s lecture, we enjoyed Kirt and Nancy being part of our church family for almost a month.
