Dinosaurs on Day 6
with Dr. Chris Rupe

September 14 (only!), 2026

Most people have been taught only the evolutionary viewpoint about dinosaurs, with its “Age of Reptiles” existing long before humans “evolved”. But what is the biblical viewpoint about dinosaurs? Come learn about the rapidly growing field of molecular paleontology, which paints a very different picture, one that lines up with the history recorded in Genesis.

Please join us for this program at any of our three locations, but
NOTE THE CHANGES IN DATES AND TIMES FOR SOUTH AND WEST! 

This is the first time we are attempting to live-stream from one venue to the other venues. The speaker will be in-person at Antioch on September 14, and we will livestream from there to South and West. You will still be able to ask questions or make comments, by giving your input to a moderator who will type it into a “chat box” on Zoom, for the presenter to answer, live.

Zoom will be used to display the live program projected on a screen for viewing at the remote locations. You do not need Zoom when at those locations. If you would like to view remotely at home (which will be by Zoom but you can view in a browser), request an invitation here: Try us out – Remotely! – Midwest Creation Fellowship.

 October 3, 5 & 6, 2026

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”  (Psalms 19:1) 

Not only do the heavens and skies proclaim the work of God, but so does the Grand Canyon!

Join us as we take a look at the Grand Canyon and discover how the rocks, river and exposed layers are a testament not to millions of years, but rather are proclaiming to all with “ears to hear” the work of God in creation and the Flood.

In Memoriam: Dr. Walter T. Brown

Biographies, Obituaries

Photo of Dr. Walter Brown. Click for obituary onlineDr. Walter T. Brown, one of MCF’s founders when it was chartered in 1983*, passed away on September 27, 2025, at the age of 88.

Dr. Brown was a physicist and creationist who made significant contributions to the creation science movement. He was known for his work on the hydroplate theory, which proposes a model for the Biblical flood. Dr. Brown was also an author and speaker, sharing his knowledge and passion for creation science with many.

I first became aware of him and of Midwest Creation Fellowship when he conducted his In The Beginning creation science seminar at Moody Church in Chicago in 1987. His presentations were fascinating. Most of what he shared I had never been told before, and likely, most of the audience hadn’t either.

His book In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood
has been updated and revised multiple times. The last edition, the 9th, was published posthumously in March 2026. One thing I especially appreciated about Dr. Brown’s work was his willingness to update and remove evidences he had cited when new data became available. Even with some earlier evidences removed, the book is now 640 pages on Amazon. It is also available at no cost online (below).

I am told that he was asked to head the Air Force’s Geophysics Laboratory, but retired from the military instead, to devote full-time to creation ministry.

In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood. 9th Ed.
