Research Projects
Innovative Insights
Our research projects are focused on exploring groundbreaking insights at the intersection of faith, science, and reason. Through careful investigation, rigorous analysis, and scholarly work, we aim to uncover new perspectives that affirm biblical truth while contributing to broader scientific understanding and discourse.
Support Our Research in Creation Science
Logos Research Associates facilitates the formation of teams of scientific experts and the funding of innovative scientific research that is not being conducted anywhere else. We are also committed to sharing the result of these research projects through our video broadcasts and the outreach of our Associates and Ambassadors.
LogosRA provides a unique opportunity to directly donate to projects that believers understand to be important to the advancement of creation science research and to further the Kingdom of God. Donating directly to projects helps close the funding gap of existing projects or provides initiation of additional research in newly discovered areas. Creation scientists typically don’t receive conventional grants, and it can be difficult for these scientists to get their research funded.
When you give a tax-deductible gift to LogosRA, you directly support the advancement of creation science. Every gift makes a difference. Explore our current research project summaries below and donate now to your favorite!
Besides donating securely online or by mailing a check to the address below, gifts of stocks, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) from traditional IRAs, Donor-Advised Funds or adding LogosRA to your will are tax-savvy ways to support our mission. Need more information? Email us at Contact Us.
Biblical Cosmology: The First 4 days of Creation | Helmut Welke
Helmut Welke
Helmut is a retired engineering manager with a Fortune 100 company. He holds BS and MS degrees in industrial engineering from the University of Illinois and has held positions in a variety of national and international assignments. In 2012 he was honored as a “Fellow” of IISE - an international society serving the Industrial and Systems Engineering profession. Helmut is now in the Nashville area and in conjunction with several others they have formed a new local group – the Tennessee Creation Fellowship. Additionally, Helmut is a member of the Creation Research Society and has served as an ambassador-speaker for Logos Research Associates since 2014. In January of 2026 he was elected as treasurer and board member of LRA. In the last 15 years he has become a popular speaker on Creation Science topics as well as Atheism and Intelligent Design. He has spoken to churches, youth groups, on college campuses and to civic organizations throughout the USA, but also in France, Germany, Hungary, and Poland.
Pre Flood and Post Flood Boundary Investigations
The pre-flood and post-flood boundaries are an important topic for a variety of reasons such as an accurate flood chronology, post-flood environments for humans and animals recolonizing the world, and post-flood animal diversification. Generally, creation scientists believe the post-flood boundary is either near the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) or the Neogene/Quaternary (N/Q) boundaries. Our research team members bring expertise in K/Pg and N/Q post-flood boundary interpretations, boundary criteria, geomorphology, catastrophic plate tectonics and biostratigraphy. These research projects will overlay different data sets and attempt to resolve the conflicts through field/office research and move the many different interpretations toward a more comprehensive consensus of the flood boundaries.
Sandstone Depositional Environments In The Western United States
Significant geologic work has been accomplished on the cross-bedded Coconino Sandstone that compiles data for the marine origin rather than the aeolian origin of this formation. This data includes outcrop observations, microscopic thin section study (presence of mica, angular K-feldspars, dolomite, angular sand grains, and poor sorting), paleocurrent directions, paleontology, zircon crystal provenance, parabolic recumbent folds, and cross bed angles. Additionally, hydraulic flume experiments in the laboratory have studied the development of sand bedforms. This project will focus on similar field, laboratory and office research studies for other cross-bedded sandstones in the Western US and expand our understanding of their depositional environments.
