New Friday Morning Video Lecture Series Fridays, beginning October 11, 2013
11:00 am Art Room
The last lecture of the current series, “Why Evil Exists” will be
shown on Friday morning, October 4th at 11:00 am. On October
11th the new series, “The World’s Greatest Geological Wonders: 36
Spectacular Sites” will begin in the Art Room.
This course takes you to the world’s most
spectacular geological wonders, explains the forces that
have formed them, and tell you the stories that have
grown up around them. Our planet remains unique in
the galaxy, even after space investigations have found
many hundreds of other planets around other stars. Earth is covered with a
vast diversity of geological environments that have, for millennia, inspired
people with their majesty, beauty, and sometimes their strangeness. Yet
certain places stand out above the others and epitomize the different types of
amazing geological phenomena that are found on Earth. These are the
geologic wonders of the world, and in 36 lectures, we will travel to and
investigate as many of them as we can. Each of the lectures focuses on one
particular geographical location but touches on other examples as well. Some
of these wonders are well known, and you may already have traveled to them.
Others you may never have heard of but will likely want to visit once you
