9th European Creationist Congress
The 9th European Creationist Congress took place at the Elim Family Centre, Eastbourne, from
August 3rd-6th. There were about 70 full-time delegates, including a party from Holland. Day and
evening visitors swelled the number to around 100.
There were 12 seminars, covering a range of subjects, plus a question and discussion session. There
were also several worship sessions. The programme began on Monday evening with a talk on "How
Evolution became accepted as science" by K. J. Duursma. Seminars on Tuesday were "Hume's
Dialogues and Intelligent Design" by Andrew Sibley of the Creation Science Movement, "Proving
Evolution is a Myth" by Dr Vij Sodera, "Learning from Leviathan and Beholding Behemoth" by
Philip Bell of Creation Ministries International, and "The Tower of Babel" by K.J. Duursma. In the
evening the new documentary film "The Voyage that Shook the World� was shown.
On Wednesday there were six seminars: "Why Chinese Fossil Layers Falsify Bird Evolution" by
Andrew Sibley, "Ape and Human Fossils" by Dr. Vij Sodera, "Catastrophism and the Bible:
Evidence from the Rocks" by Philip Bell, "Children and Evolution: What are they being taught?" by
Geoff Chapman of CRT, and two sessions by Professor Andy McIntosh - "Intricacies of Flight",
and "Design, Thermodynamics and Information." On Thursday there was an excursion to Down
House, home of Charles Darwin, and in the evening the final session, "The impact of Darwin in
2009" by Dr David Rosevear, chairman of the Creation Science Movement.
The congress revealed that the creation model of origins is not only scientifically and theologically
far superior to the evolutionary model, but is supported by a growing body of evidence. Sales of
books, DVDs and other resources were brisk.

DVD recordings of most of the sessions are available from Creation Conferences. Tel. 01323 732788, or
