This weekend is our 2021 Creation Celebration.  We began this online event last year in the middle of COVID lockdowns, and we're back for another go at it.  We've got video presentations from Joe Francis, Paul Garner, Marcus Ross, Matt McLain, and many more.  And if that's not enough, I'll be doing some live events on each day of the celebration. I'll be talking to Steve Gollmer about storms and Jeremy Blaschke about parasites, and Paul Garner and I will be doing a live "podcast" on Saturday morning to answer questions from the audience.  (If you have a question for us, send it to my email listed below).  It's all starting on this Thursday, so get your tickets now!
