Dr. John Whitmore, a Professor of Geology at Cedarville University, brings decades of expertise to the journey. With extensive research on the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon, and the Coconino Sandstone, Dr. Whitmore is one of the world’s foremost experts in his field.
His work, featured in the documentary Is Genesis History?: Mountains After the Flood, provides profound insights into the canyon’s sedimentary rock layers and their testimony to the Flood described in Genesis.
Co-leading the trip is Nate Loper, a guide, researcher, and teacher with a passion for helping people see the Bible come alive in the real world. Nate will bring together insights from geology, archaeology, and the history in the canyon to help illuminate Scripture and how these pieces fit together within the framework of God’s Word.
Throughout the journey, Nate will help bridge the connection between science and Scripture, giving travelers a deeper understanding of the historical setting of the Bible and greater confidence in its reliability.
