Dr. Jake Hebert
Research Scientist
Living to 900: Fossil Evidence for One of the Bible’s Most Amazing Claims | 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Did humans really live for hundreds of years, as described in the Bible? Did animals also live longer and grow larger than they do today? In this presentation, Dr. Hebert addresses these questions as he discusses the topic of longevity. First, he will present compelling evidence showing that humans in the pre-Flood world lived for centuries. Second, he will discuss how animals dealt with few genetic defects thus resulting in longer lifespans. Third, he will explain how fossils help unlock the mystery of these longer lifespans.
This is a free event, however registration is required.
Please note: Attendance is limited to current college students ages 18–25.

Dave Napier
ICR Speaker
The View from the Tower | Founders Hall | 10:30 a.m.
In this presentation, Dave takes a look at the “so-called” races and exposes the false thinking of evolution. Over the last 30 years, science has finally started catching up with the bible. Understanding genetics and linguistics has allowed conventional science to realize there are no races. We are all one people! It is in the light of the Bible that different people groups and varied languages start to make sense.
Patriotic Saxophone Performance | Founders Hall | 11:30 a.m.
Celebrate Independence Day with a lively performance from The Treblemakers Saxophone Ensemble, led by Fred Franke. United by their faith and love of music, this talented group brings a meaningful blend of faith, gratitude, and national pride as they showcase the full range of the saxophone family. This Fourth of July, the group will offer a dynamic and uplifting musical experience through a patriotic program of familiar American tunes designed to uplift and encourage audiences of all ages.
We recommend purchasing tickets in advance as this type of event tends to sell out prior to the day.
