May 9, 11 & 12, 2026

with Carl Kerby
from Reasons for Hope

Breathing is something we do every moment without thinking — yet the air we inhale is filled with pollutants, dust, microbes, and harmful particles that could seriously damage our lungs. So how are we protected?

In his fascinating presentation, Carl Kerby explores your body’s remarkable “air filtration” respiratory system – a multi-layered defense mechanism so intricate and efficient that it points clearly to a wise, intelligent Designer, not time and senseless chance.

The Significance of ORFan and Taxonomically Restricted Genes

Dr. Paul Nelson from Biola University

ORFan genes were discovered in the mid-90s as automated DNA sequencing became a practical technology. ORFans are defined as genes found in a species or genus which have no matching sequences in other species. ORFans are now considered a world-class biological puzzle found all throughout the Tree of Life.

Dr. Nelson, who has published in this area, will discuss how ORFans are detected, their astonishing numbers, and their significance for origins.
