Biblical Creation: A Concise Overview of Scientific Evidences
with Dr. Christopher Rupe
founder of Back2Genesis, Inc.
CORRECTED: the flyer for Tuesday, March 4 previously showed the schedule incorrectly. If you use the flyer, please use the corrected version below: doors open at 6:30 p.m.; presentation is at 7 p.m. We apologize for any inconvenience or printing this caused!
Many would be astonished by how the various fields of science powerfully support the Biblical view of history
recorded in Genesis.
In his talk, Dr. Rupe will present a brief overview of scientific evidence coming
from the major fields of science, including Biology, Genetics (Adam and Eve), paleoanthropology (hominin
fossils), geology, and paleontology (dinosaur fossil discoveries).
Below each location are links to slides
advertising the location's meeting. If your church uses slides on screen for announcements, or printed
bulletins, would you ask your pastor to include one of these to advertise this meeting? (Thanks!)

Reasons for Hope and Carl Kerby Present the Impact Retreat for Ages 11 to 20!
Why not bring your youth group?
Got questions? Get answers!
Every young Christian who thinks will have questions about Christianity, especially after seeing the attacks on television on the "historical Jesus" ... with K-college schools teaching that the universe and life happened by chance... Is the Bible's history really any more than a collection of just-so tales, first told by a fireside thousands of years ago? Or is there any evidence that the "tales" are true? [Spoiler: you BET there's evidence!]
An EQUIP retreat is an annual apologetics-based retreat held across the country at different locations. The speakers are ALL convinced that the Bible IS reporting real history, including in Genesis Chapter 1 (six days of creation). The retreat is designed to teach young people to own, share, and defend their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. While there will be lots of fun and games, the goal of EQUIP is to plant seeds that inspire a generation of teens to have eternal impact on the Kingdom of God by equipping them to better understand, articulate, and spread the Gospel.
NOTE: If this date doesn't work for you, there are SIX other similar retreats scheduled throughout summer 2025, at six different locations!

Video: Beyond Irreducible Complexity:
The Amazing Dependent Interconnectedness of Biological Systems
MCF's February 2025 meeting
with Dr. Scott Hardin
"Irreducible Complexity" is an excellent descriptor of biological systems, demonstrating they did not arise spontaneously. However, most biological systems don't actually stop functioning altogether when one component is damaged or removed. Instead, they malfunction or work sub-optimally. Such "Dependent Interconnected Systems" are clear evidence of design. Dr. Hardin will explore this concept in detail as it reflects the creation at the hands of our Creator.
