ESLUU has functioned at LLU since 1961, funded by both the university and the General Conference. More than 80 of their alumni are or have been employed by Adventist institutions. Their graduate programs foster positive approaches to understanding science in biblical context. ESLLU faculty and students have undertaken geological research with a biblically based view of earth history in mind, observing things other scientists often overlook. Project funds will support onsite examination of unique rock formations in Utah that exhibit evidence of the biblical flood account.
