Loma Linda University Health Department of Earth and Biological Sciences, in operation since 1962, has been involved in geological research on fossil whales in Peru, fossil turtles and Yellowstone fossil forests in Wyoming, as well as many other projects in a variety of locations. The results of this research are a continuing source of encouragement to Bible believers, including Seventh-day Adventists and others. Offering funds will go toward the geological study of the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone in Utah and provide the means for Christian geologists to publish various geological formations from a biblical perspective.
