Upcoming Events
MONTHLY MEETING: November 15, 2025
Diatoms and Radiolaria
Dr. Thomas Kindell
What are diatoms? What are radiolaria? How do these two microorganisms differ from each other?
Why are diatoms so vital to earth's ecology? How did layers of diatoms get trapped between sediment layers during the Genesis floow? Have you used diatoms in consumer products without ever knowing it?
How can different lighting techniques bring out changes of color and dazzling effects when diatoms are viewed under a microscope?
What evidence demonstrated that diatoms and radiolaria were created and could not have evolved?
Dr. Thomas Kindell was once an ardent believer in the “fact” of evolution. However, through his exposure to the scientific case for creation, he became a zealous creationist. He has received advanced training in scientific creationism through the Graduate School of the Institute for Creation Research. He also received his M.A. in Biblical Studies from California Graduate School of Theology, and holds a Doctorate in Philosophy of Theology.
