John Swan, Logos Research Associates. Crystal Lake, Illinois. john_swan@sbcglobal.net KEYWORDS creation, computing, engineering, design, numerical analysis, database, computer science, programming ABSTRACT In November 2023 Logos Research Associates expanded our ministry to include an engineering and technology related resources group to come alongside and support scientists doing creation science research. This group includes technical professionals that have not traditionally been included in creation science research. This initiative is intended to create a framework for that to happen by matching engineer and/or technologists with scientists performing creation research. This recognizes that the origin of all things was designed with engineering principles and implemented by the master engineer and creator God. The created is way beyond man’s ability to imagine or exactly replicate. This is continually confirmed by a wide variety of ongoing new and ‘surprising’ scientific discoveries, which are not surprising to us who believe in the Creator. Our Objectives: 1. Maximize creation research by bringing in more compute capability and expertise, 2. Apply the benefit of engineering expertise with design intent driven, higher-level hypotheses to drive scientific research directions and predictions, 3. Be a ministry to both the scientists who have not traditionally had these resources available as well as for engineering/technology professionals who have not traditionally had opportunities to contribute their expertise to the creationism movement. The engineering/technology professionals referenced in (3) include technologists who have expertise in engineering, design, computer science and/or programming, numerical analysis, databases, geographic information systems (GIS), mathematics and statistics, and similar fields. Participants of the ETMP will contribute their expertise in support of the scientific researchers where our partnership can be fruitful. In the presentation we explore the need, the process, and report on some of the work we have done with researchers. We ask you to pray for this initiative and consider how, as a scientist, you could make use of us or, as a technologist, how you would like to contribute your expertise to a researching scientist. 33 2025 New Scholars Swan, J. 2025.
