The Creation Science Association of Alberta (CSAA) is pleased to announce that Dr. Mark Horstemeyer, Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Liberty University (USA), will be our speaker at Creation Weekend 2026. The sessions will begin on Friday evening, October 23, and continue on Saturday, October 24. Over the years, many of the speakers featured at the CSAA’s Creation Weekend have been well-qualified scientists with a wide range of expertise in different fields such as geology, biology, and paleontology. This year we are grateful to have Dr. Horstemeyer speak to us about God’s amazing creation through the lens of an engineer.
Dr. Mark Horstemeyer has authored over 600 research articles on a wide range of engineering topics including the physical properties of metals, the impact damping design of animal horns, impact testing of football helmets, and the mathematical modelling the deformation of space by gravity. A fellow in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society of Metals, Society of Automotive Engineers, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he has given engineering lectures all over the world.
Dr. Horstemeyer began his engineering career at Owens Corning Fiberglas, and later worked at Sandia National Laboratories where he later became involved in technology transfer to the US automotive industry. He then worked at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) at Mississippi State University, where he was involved in optimizing automotive designs for Ford, GM, Chrysler, and Nissan. During his time at Mississippi State, he also began work to develop a bio-inspired football helmet to decrease concussions. In 2019, Dr. Horstemeyer joined Liberty University—a post-secondary college offering a Christ-centred education and located in Lynchburg, Virginia—as the Dean of Engineering. He stepped down from his position as Dean in 2025, and now serves as Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Liberty where he teaches and conducts research.
Dr. Horstemeyer will present on a variety of engineering topics at Creation Weekend 2026, beginning with Friday evening’s presentation Noah’s Ark: Testament to Excellent Engineering. In the process of building a large boat to sustain the year long Genesis Flood, God created a plan that incorporated stability, strength, and safety for the ark, and the people and animals onboard. Notes Dr. Horstemeyer, “God is an awesome ‘creationeer’ who not only gave specific design guidance to Noah for an ark, but Who can also be fully trusted with the details of our own lives.”
Drawing on his life-long career as an engineer, Dr. Horstemeyer’s second talk, on Saturday morning, is titled Engineers Who Believed in God. This session will focus on the accomplishments of famous engineers of the past, such as Stokes, Fleming, Werner von Braun. This presentation, which will demonstrate that some of the most well-known engineers in history believed in the God of the Bible, will be an antidote to people who say that what Christians believe is nonsense and that real scientists don’t believe in God. We can rejoice as we join a great cloud of witnesses like these engineering geniuses who were Christians.
The final talk in the Creation Weekend series, to be held on Saturday afternoon, will be Creationeering the Geosphere. This presentation will show how the vastness and complexity of our world is exemplified in how God designed and made the Earth. Dr. Horstemeyer will examine the multiscale hierarchical structures within the core, mantle, and crust. He will discuss how God designed these structures to maximize safety for human life here on Earth as well as how they worked together during the Genesis Flood. Simply put, God made metals, rocks, and minerals for mankind’s use.
Join us for a weekend of encouragement as we learn about God’s amazing designs at Creation Weekend 2026—God: The Ultimate Engineer.
