Lalo Gunther is the Director of Online Community and Conference Ministries, specializing in “Youth Ministry”, and (currently) Special Events Coordinator for the Institute for Creation Research (ICR). As such, Gunther is the head of the ICR’s conference series and blog Your Origins Matter (YOM), and coordinated e.g. YOM’s launching conference in Dallas in 2012, where they e.g. got former astronaut Colonel Jeffrey Williams to present some pretty pictures of space and provide some sort of sheen of legitimacy to the stock creationist presentations by creationist stalwarts like Jason Lisle, Nathaniel Jeanson, Henry Morris III, and Randy Guliuzza. The YOM blog consists primarily of regurgitating creationist materials already published by the ICR – though, since the purpose is outreach (the YOM is purportedly a platform for “conversation” and “tools to dig deeper into the study of origins”), they tend to remove any ‘technical’ or ‘scientific’ content (which does not require much effort given the nature of the originals) – and videos of interviews with ICR members.
YOM also helps you arrange a Demand the Evidence Conference at your local church. Neither they nor their clients actually want the evidence.
Diagnosis: Yes, this one was brief, and brevity will do. Fundie denialist.
