The Dinosaur Project: Where Faith and Science Meet by Keith Snyder
“The Dino Dig experience is a hub for networking and collaboration. Participants have the chance to work alongside experienced scientists and fellow enthusiasts, sharing ideas and forging connections that can lead to future research opportunities. The shared passion among participants fosters an environment of mutual support and learning. This collaborative spirit advances scientific knowledge and strengthens the bond between participants, who are thereby empowered to use the information gained while digging and taking the class offered by SWAU in the evenings to further the work of the Adventist Church in their home fields. Participating in this type of professional experience strengthens their convictions about a short-term, recent view of creation and enables them to explore viable flood models. It also gives them credibility with their students and government organizations. It has been a very positive experience for those who attend and has spread the news of Christ through Christian paleontologists in many parts of the world.”

Pavel Kudelich: A Sculptor’s Journey of Faith and Art by Ivan Riapolov
