Dan Kreft
Cedar Park Church Bothell, WA

Description:

Many Christian laymen and apologists alike stumble over the what has been dubbed “the distant starlight problem,” citing it as a key obstacle to their acceptance of a young (i.e. ~6,000 year) creation. In this presentation, Dan takes this difficult topic by the horns and demonstrates to non-technical audiences how the distant starlight problem is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways–against young- and old-earth creationists alike; it is not the proverbial nail in the young-earth coffin that many think it is.

About the Speaker:

Dan Kreft, the Seven-Foot Apologist, is a cross-generational teacher, itinerant speaker, and author of the three-volume book, “Jesus” Is Not the Answer to Every Sunday School Question. In addition to his own ministry, he also serves as an adjunct instructor for Mike Riddle's Creation Training Initiative, and is on the board of directors for the Apologetics Forum of Snohomish County. Dan earned a BS in electrical engineering from Northwestern University, where he gained notoriety by becoming the first NCAA Division I student-athlete to keep what would later come to be known as a "blog," which earned him an invitation to write for Sports Illustrated. After graduating, he played professional basketball for three years, including a rather memorable encounter against Shaquille O'Neal. Though he's been developing websites professionally since 1995, Dan’s passion is to equip and encourage the body of Christ to confidently deliver biblical responses to skeptical assaults on our faith, with a particular emphasis on the sufficiency and authority of Scripture, starting with the very first verse.
