The title of my lecture, "The Fossils Don't Speak!" is intended to evoke curiosity from those familiar with creationist literature. It is, of course, a re-working of tile title of a book written by one of our conference speakers, Dr. Duane Gish. The re-working is not intended to contradict the work of Dr. Gish and his colleagues at the Institute of Creation Research and other creationist organizations. Indeed, we would not have invited him to speak if we did not endorse his fine work.
