Available Presentations:
- The Age of the Earth and Cosmos and Why it Matters The Bible presents a number of straight forward, clear, easy to understand statements on the age of the earth and the cosmos. Yet even among Christians it remains a conscientious matter. Some consider the matter divisive. Some pastors don’t want it discussed. Why? Join us as we examine the evidence of the age of the earth and why it matters.
- Creation in the Digital Age Darwin’s theory of evolution, formulated in the 19th century, was able to gain widespread popularity due to its very simplistic view of the mechanisms of living creatures, aptly summarized in the phrase “goo to you” evolution. This presentation examines a number of biological processes in light of the digital processing that modern science has discovered is necessary for these processes to function. Digital processing of information is a feature of living creatures that neoDarwinism is unable to account for. This presentation demonstrates where some of that processing occurs, and shows why random mutation and natural selection are insufficient to explain its existence.
- Creation and the Canyon Not only do the heavens and skies proclaim the work of God, but so does the Grand Canyon!Join us as we take a look at the Grand Canyon and discover how the rocks, river and exposed layers are a testament not to millions of years, but rather are proclaiming to all with “ears to hear” the work of God in creation and the Flood.
- Evolution’s Unanswerable Questions Many evolutionists believe they have answers to all of the most fundamental questions of life. But do they? And do the answers they profess really answer those questions consistently within an evolutionary (and typically atheistic) world view? When more closely examined, it turns out their answers really don’t address the problem. So join us as we look at some of “Evolution’s Unanswerable Questions”.
- The Tower of Babel – The End of the Beginning The Babel event is not only the origin of the diversity of languages, but it also forever changed humans – diversifying both cultures and outward appearances. This event also completes the preview of salvation history hidden in plain sight in Genesis chapters 1-11. At Babel, God completed his foreshadowing of how He will wrap up his dealings with humans on earth and bring about the climax of his plan of salvation at the conclusion of salvation history. Join us for a closer look at this major event in salvation history, and see why the Tower of Babel is the End of the Beginning.
- Science, Creation, and the Power of Stories Why do people act as they do ? Because of their beliefs. Why do people believe what they believe? Because of the stories they’ve accepted as truth. We are sometimes amused at the stories our ancient ancestors used to believe, that are clearly fiction in the light of modern science. But are we any different? Do the stories we believe square with modern science? This presentation explores the power of stories to shape beliefs, especially the modern day stories concerning origins, and examines whether those stories hold up in the light of modern science.
