Amazing Animals:
Design vs. Darwinism
What would the Earth be
like without animals?
They are indeed a very special part of the creation that
provides endless fascination and brings much love into our lives.
Previously unknown animals are discovered each year and the complicated
world of these creatures has been made clearer by recent scientific
discoveries.
This presentation will focus on the amazing abilities of animals that
are often a source of inspiration to engineers. Humans have long
practiced biomimicry in
an attempt to glean the ingenuity behind biological designs, and in
doing so testify to the creative power of our Father in heaven. |

The
Image of God
The human
body is
a wonder of God's creation that
provides many extraordinary examples of intelligent
design.
Within each of us reside cells, organs,
and systems that
are interconnected and interdependent in ways that defy evolutionary
explanation. Even today, much of what is happening inside the human body
is still not fully understood and yet evolutionists hold
fast that this remarkable construct developed without God.
This presentation will discuss various aspects of human
anatomy and
physiology which
offer testimony to the glory of the Creator and verify that we were
knit together
and
wonderfully made.

Origin of Life
The origin
of life remains
the theory of evolution's most significant obstacle. More than 150 years
after Darwin published
his theory, and following exhaustive efforts,
evolutionists are
no closer to solving the riddle of how life began. Despite countless
attempts using every conceivable condition, biochemists have
been unable to produce genetic information (DNA)
and/or proteins in
a simulated natural environment and thereby show how even the simplest cell could
have formed without intelligent
design.
This presentation will examine the origin of life and illustrate that evolution is
simply without a foundation. Life began through the actions of a God of
supreme intelligence and creative power - actions that could never be
reproduced by mere humans and
will never be explained without reference to intelligent causation.

Wonders of the Cell
Cell
biology has
revealed a microscopic world operating at a level of technological
sophistication far beyond anything devised by man.
This previously invisible aspect of the creation offers unmistakable
evidence of intelligent
design through
innumerable examples of irreducible and specified
complexity.
Inside each and every organism reside bio-mechanical systems and
molecular machines that Darwin and his contemporaries could never have
imagined. Even today, much of what is happening inside cells is still
not understood and yet evolutionists hold fast that these remarkable
constructs developed without God.
These two contrasting views of the cell provide poignant illustration of
how worldviews impact
our interpretation of physical evidence. This presentation discusses the
cell as it relates to these opposing views and describes some of these
important cellular features which offer testimony to the glory of the Creator. |

Genetic Variability by
Design New alleles are accumulating rapidly
in living populations and cellular mechanisms have not been adequately
sought to explain the intentional production of these changes. Homologous
DNA recombination occurs in all organisms and is at the heart of genetics.
Since its discovery during meiosis, these reactions were assumed to occur
randomly along the length of chromosomes, and only involved with gene
crossovers. It is now well known that meiotic recombination is not the
random process it was originally assumed to be, and controlled by highly
organized regulatory systems. In addition, a form of homologous
recombination has been discovered which is responsible for creating
diversity in variable genes, and was recently linked to single base-pair
substitutions in immunoglobulins. New allele formation may indeed be the key
to explaining the rapid production of distinct breeds, but their presence in
the genome has been assumed the result of random mutations. Therefore, the
ability of the cell to purposefully edit genes requires evaluation. |
| Astronomy |
 |
The Heavens Declare
Modern astronomy offers
mankind a look at the cosmos never
before seen. The size and beauty of astronomical
bodies is
a testimony to the magnificence that is our Father in heaven.
This presentation aptly uses the scale of the cosmos to guide viewers to
a better appreciation of the Glory of God as
is revealed by the heavens. Drawing from images taken by space
telescopes and spacecraft, we will tour the solar
system,
distant nebulae,
and galaxies that
testify of the creators power. |
 |
Creation Astronomy
Many
modern astronomers have
adopted a worldview that
is in stark contrast to the Bible.
Holding to a materialistic
philosophy,
they seek to explain the origin of the
cosmos and
the celestial bodies through purely natural processes.
This presentation provides a general introduction to astronomy from the
Biblical worldview ("creation
astronomy").
Creation astronomers, which includes many of the fathers of astronomy,
such as Nicolas
Copernicus and Sir
Isaac Newton,
look to the Word of God for special understanding. The origin and age
of the cosmos and
the celestial bodies are discussed, and important evidence of
fine-tuning is illustrated. |
 |
Big Bang vs. Creation
Secular astronomers believe
that space and time began
through a great cosmic explosion, and yet the Bible says
God spoke the universe into existence. While some Christians try to
reconcile these two views, the creation account contains a strikingly
dissimilar sequence of events.
This presentation will analyze the big
bang theory,
and the supporting evidence along with alternative interpretations that
ultimately show the Earth is
a special place in the universe. |
 |
The Origin of Stars
Secular cosmologists state
unequivocally that star formation occurs through purely natural
processes, a claim that many old
Earth creationists also
accept. However,
Genesis
1:16 says
that God made the stars,
and Psalm
147:4 that
he calls them each by name.
This presentation will discuss star
formation theories and
analyze the physics that
govern the emission
nebulae where
stellar nurseries are thought to exist. The perfect design of the sun (the
star most near and dear to us) is also illustrated as we reflect upon
the glory of the Creator. |
 |
Solar System: Evidence of Design
Our solar
system is
thought to have formed from condensations within a swirling cloud of gas
and dust (nebula
theory).
But when the planets were
better analyzed by space probes many surprising discoveries were made
that conflict with the prevailing theory.
This presentation is a tour of the solar system, wherein we will stop at
each planet to discuss their unique qualities along with those of their moons.
As each new discovery is made, the design and handiwork of a Creator is
revealed. Truly, the
Earth is
a special place. |
 |
Age of the Cosmos: The Biblical Model
The Bible says
that God created
the Heavens and
the Earth only
6 thousand years ago, and yet starlight is reaching us from distances
well beyond what could be reached in that period of time.
This presentation will discuss the current thinking on starlight and
time from astrophysicists who
hold to a literal reading of Genesis,
and explain how the theory
of relativity may
hold some answers to this dilemma. |
| Geology / Paleontology |
 |
Planet of the
Apes
Secular Paleoanthropologists assert
adamantly that humans are
the descendants of ape-like ancestors. Darwin's
seminal theory led naturalists inexorably to this conclusion, but the Bible clearly
states that we were created distinct from the animals and
in the image of God.
This presentation examines the evidence used to support
human evolution,
including Neanderthals and Australopithecines.
Are these ancient hominids really missing
links capable
of substantiating human evolution or has the truth been distorted to
support the materialistic evolutionary worldview?

Fossils and the
Flood of Noah
Secular
geologists
say there has been no global
flood as
described in the Bible, but vast quantities of fossils provide
a monumental testimony to this event and God's recent judgment of
humankind. This presentation provides an introduction to Creation
Geology and
a Biblical characterization of the fossil
record,
which is alternatively used to support the theory
of evolution.
Numerous examples of fossils are
provided that defy conventional explanation, and instead are more
consistent with rapid burial and petrification. In addition, an
explanation of fossil
sorting is
provided that is consistent with the mechanisms active during the Biblical
deluge.
When the evidence is examined, we see that the fossil record has been
misinterpreted by secular geologists who deliberately ignore that the
"world was deluged with water and perished" (2
Peter 3:3-6 ). |
 |
Dinosaurs: Lost World of the Bible
Dinosaurs have
inspired countless myths and legends, but where do the facts meet with
the Bible? Paleontologists assert
that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, long before humans
ever walked the Earth.
But, this view is in stark contrast to the creation account
in Genesis,
which states the both humans and
land animals were
created on the same day.
This presentation will provide a summary of the naturalist perspective
of dinosaurs, and then look to the Bible for
insight into their true history. Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?
Were they also placed on Noah's
ark?
If so, why are they now extinct? These and other key issues will be
answered in this popular talk. |
 |
Geologic Worldviews and the Global Flood
Secular geologists say
there has been no global
flood as
described in the Bible,
but vast layers
of rocks provide
a monumental testimony to this event and God's recent judgment of
humankind. This presentation provides an introduction to Creation
Geology and
a characterization of the geological
column that
is naturally derived from the
Biblical worldview.
Several important examples are provided that show how strata and
canyons can form rapidly rather than over millions of years. In
addition, the secular geologic worldviews that
form the foundation for interpreting the Earth's crust are examined to
illustrate how historical bias against catastrophism has
caused erroneous interpretations of geologic features that are now know
to have been formed catastrophically. |
| Biblical Archaeology |
 |
New Testament
Archaeology
The New
Testament of
the Bible records
the history of the new Church, beginning shortly before the birth of Jesus.
However, this important record is under attack by
Archaeologists who
have claimed that the Biblical account of history is inaccurate or even
fictitious. Key events in Christianity,
such as the crucifixion, have been challenged on archaeological grounds
because no records of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate had been found.
This PowerPoint presentation will review several well known Biblical
events and figures that can now be substantiated by recent
archaeological investigations, including the very resurrection of the
Christ. |
|
 |
Old
Testament Archaeology The Old
Testament of
the Bible contains
rich and interesting stories of God's people that span more than 4000
years. However, this important historic record is under attack by Archaeologists who
have claimed that the Biblical account of history is inaccurate or even
ficticious. Well known events, such as the conquest of Jericho and
the Exodus
of the Israelites from
Egypt, have been challenged on archaeological grounds.
This PowerPoint presentation examines these challenges and shows that
when the evidence is revealed, science supports the historicity of the
Bible. We will review several well known Biblical events and figures
that can now be substantiated by recent archaeological investigations,
and see that the Bible is a trustworthy in all things. |
| Worldviews |
 |
Worldviews in Conflict
While the United
States has
a firm foundation in Christianity and
the vast majority of the population believes in God,
we are unable to teach about God in our public
schools.
This presentation takes a hard-hitting look at the War of Worldviews
facing Christians today, and examines the factors that have contributed
to the secularization of US schools.
In 1Peter
3:15 we
are instructed to "Always be prepared to give an answer," and yet
most Christian are unable to defend their faith through logic, reason,
and empirical evidence. Using recent surveys and events to demonstrate
the effects of evolutionism on society, this message will inspire those
who tend toward scholarly pursuits in creation
apologetics. |
 |
Love Your God With All Your
Mind
This sermon-style presentation is a hard-hitting look at the war of Worldviews facing Christians today,
and examines the factors that have contributed to the secularization of US public
schools.
Also contained within this presentation are numerous illustrations of
beauty and wonder made evident by science that offer a testimony to the
glory of
God,
but which haven't been seen until modern times. With evolutionary
indoctrination reaching epidemic proportions, these previously unseen
treasures provide valuable tools for creation evangelism.
