Cass St., Berrien Springs, MI). While pastoring at the Greenlake Seventh-day Adventist Church in Seattle, McLarty began participating in poetry slams and open mics. Today, he thinks of himself as a poet, not a retired pastor. He also directs geology excursions in the American Southwest through his Talking Rocks Outdoor Company. McLarty grew up with six siblings in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of a physician and nurse. He studied chemistry, mineralogy, Hebrew, religious education and theology at various colleges and universities, and he graduated from Pacific Union College. McLarty and his wife live on a small hobby farm outside of Seattle. All are welcome to attend this free lecture sponsored by the Michiana Adventist Forum.   Wed, 17 Apr 2024 08:24:49 +0000 Did God Create Viruses? http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/64806 Michiana Adventist Forum and the Andrews University Department of Biology are sponsoring a talk by James Hayward, PhD, professor emeritus of biology. The talk is entitled “Did God Create Viruses?” The COVID-19 pandemic brought viruses front and center to the stage of human consciousness. Yet a great deal of misunderstanding remains about these biological entities. What are viruses? Are they alive? How were they discovered? How diverse are they? How do they reproduce and how are they transmitted? In what ways do they impact human society? Are some viruses “good”? Did God create viruses? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this presentation.
