How many times have you heard the assertion that true science will always be in agreement with Scripture? Or that unless every detail of the biblical creation narrative accords with physical science, the entire Bible is untrustworthy? Bring a friend and join author Gordon J. Glover as he discusses these and other questions relating to science and the scriptures on Friday, Sept. 19, at Java Grande (7-9 PM) in Ellicott City.

In his ongoing quest to integrate science with Christian orthodoxy, Gordon has probably held just about every conceivable position on Creation. He now spends most of his free time studying, discussing, speaking and writing about the challenging philosophical issues that arise from the scientific investigation of natural history - and doing backyard astronomy with his kids.

Gordon has always had an insatiable interest in the natural sciences; specifically how they relate to Christian theology and the Bible. Sacrificing the romantic idea of a scientific career on the alters of pragmatism, he studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas and Ocean Engineering at Texas A&M University. He then served 11 years in the U.S. Navy as a Deep Sea Diver and Ocean Engineer before settling down in the suburbs of southern Maryland.
