Cornerstone Baptist hosts speaker Dr. Carl Baugh

A leader in the scientific creation field will be a guest speaker at the Cornerstone Baptist Church Sunday through Tuesday.

Dr. Carl Baugh is the founder and director of the Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, Texas.

He has spent more than 30 years researching the atmospheric conditions before the Genesis flood. He was invited to lecture at NASA headquarters as a result of his independent research and design of a hyperbaric biosphere which was created to try to duplicate the double atmosphere pressure which surrounded the earth before the Genesis flood.

In a dig site located in Glen Rose, a man's 16-inch foot print was found inside a dinosaur's foot print. Near them, a woman's 14-inch foot print was also found. Baugh believes these findings are evidence of everything living much longer and growing much bigger before the flood.

Baugh is also the co-director of a research team looking for Noah's Ark on Mt. Ararat in Turkey. He negotiated a 49-year lease with the Turkish government for the project.

Along with lecturing at NASA he has appeared in numerous television broadcasts, including the CBS specials "The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark" and "Ancient Secrets in the Bible" and the NBC special "The Mysterious Origins of Man." He has written two books and is the author and narrator of two video series.

Baugh will speak at 10 and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday, and at 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday. The church is located at 3995 W. Prairie Ave. Seating is limited. For more information, call (208) 772-9190.

In other church news

Coeur d'Alene Bible Church will be sending a small missionary group to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to help finish a school before the hurricane season hits.

The church will be working with World Gospel Outreach. Its focus is helping orphans and street children. The group takes kids off the street, brings them back to good health and teaches them to respond to adult supervision. The children are then moved to newly constructed homes with family atmospheres. American couples live in the homes with 7 or 8 children. The children attend school, are taught English and Spanish, responsibility, morality, Christian principles and physical education.

Pat Debose, director of World Gospel, and his wife, Hellen, will be discussing the services the outreach provides for the children and the upcoming trip planned for September 17 to 24. They'll visit three local churches.

They'll attend all services Sunday at Coeur d'Alene Bible Church and the service at Grace Bible Church at 6 p.m. Wednesday they'll visit Mountain View Bible Church at 7 p.m. . They hope to encourage Christians couples to consider making a three-year commitment to help the Honduras children.

If interested in going on the short-term trip to Honduras, the registration deadline is July 31. Cost is $1,000. It's the poorest country in Central America and the second-poorest country in Latin America.
