- FEATURES
- The Sermons from Science exhibit, a non-sectarian project,
is sponsored by the Christian Life Convention, the Christian
Businessman's Committee, Inc., and the Moody Institute of Science.
-
- Exterior: The Sermons from Science Pavilion is a 500
seat circular theatre, 35 feet in height and 70 feet in diameter.
The theatre has a circular scalloped shell roof supported beyond
the building by colorful fins decorated with abstract designs.
The entrance to the theatre is 8 feet above the ground and is
approached by a 130 foot long ramp, which follows the curve of
the building outside the line of fins and over a reflecting pool.
The reflecting pool bordering the building is decorated with
fire and water fountains, and a sculptured standard rising 60
feet which supports an ever-changing color sphere. A passage
way will connect the theatre to a smaller circular wing which
houses a conference hall.
-
- Interior: The Pavilion will present live demonstrations
and color films every hour. The theme of the show is to relate
basic laws of science to religion. Each program is designed to
satisfy the curiosity and holiday attitude of people at a fair.
The aim of the program is to win men and women to Christ and
fellowship in His church. Visitors will see in action: the cry
that can shatter glass, a frozen shadow, a flashlight that talks,
the stammering machine, metal rings floating in air, 1,000,000
volts of man made lightening, and eyes that see in total darkness.
There will also be spectacular color science films: "City
of Bees", "Time and Eternity", "Dust or Destiny",
"God of Creation", "Windows of the Soul",
"God of the Atom", "Red River of Life", and
"The Prior Claim".
