ROAD TRIP II: Exploring Utah’s National Parks and Monuments
Michael Calcagno
Michael Calcagno will take us on a video tour around the state of Utah to examine all five of its National Parks along with several National Monuments and some state parks too. Amazing geologic features we'll see in each are best explained by the global flood of Noah’s day as recorded in Genesis chapters 7 & 8.
Michael Calcagno, and his wife Michelle moved from Oregon to Arizona in 2013. Previously, after serving in the US Navy and Oregon Army National Guard, he received a BS degree With Honors from Portland State University and was an Oregon public school teacher for over 17 years. He became a Christian in 1981 and shortly afterwards heard a radio broadcast featuring Ken Ham, which launched his interest in Creation Science and biblical apologetics. He was a member of the Design Science Association in Portland, Oregon for about 15 years, and currently serves as President of the Arizona Origin Science Association (AzOSA) while directing operations for the Gila and Navajo Divisions. His wife is a retired Emergency Department RN. They currently reside in Heber, AZ.
