Always Be Prepared to Give an Answer
In 1Peter
3:15 we are instructed to
"Always be prepared to give an answer," and yet most Christian
are unable to reconcile the conflicts that exist between
scientific naturalism and the Bible, and defend their faith
through logic, reason, and empirical evidence. Using recent
surveys to demonstrate the impact of the worldviews conflict on
young people, this message hopes to inspire apologetics
education to stem the loss of faith.
This message will also address the conflict that
exists between the scientific age of the Earth and the Biblical
age. Was Adam not a real man, or was he created by God from some
evolved ancient ape-man. Many Christians hold to one of these
views to reconcile naturalism with the Bible, and presume the
flood of Noah was merely a local event. Succinct answers to
these questions are provided, along with an encouragement to
trust in the Bible as authoritative on early Earth history.

Genesis: Fables or Foundation of Our Faith?
The first few books of Genesis are indispensable to the
Christian Worldview in setting forth important doctrinal
definitions and providing critical details on the history of the
early Earth. However, due largely to the conflicting teachings
of naturalistic science, many in the Church question this
important historical record.
Does the Bible
support billions of years? Was the flood of Noah a global event?
This talk is a defense of the literal
Biblical worldview, and offers encouragement for Christians to
trust in the Bible as authoritative.

Fossils: History in Contention
Secular geologists have rejected Biblical history and assert that there has been no global flood as described in Genesis. But vast quantities of fossils and sedimentary rock provide a monumental testimony to this historical event and God's recent judgment. Is the worldview of these geologists causing them to "deliberately ignore that the world was deluged with water and perished" (2 Peter 3:3-6 )?
This presentation provides the Biblical answer to the fossil record and an encouragement for Christians to trust in the Bible as authoritative on early Earth history. Numerous examples of fossils are provided that defy conventional explanation and interpretation in support of the theory of evolution. When examined, we can easily see that the fossils have been misinterpreted by naturalistic scientists and are much more consistent with catastrophic activity and a young Earth.
Audience: 6th grade through
adult.
Recorded at the
Apologetics
Symposium, at Cedar Park Church April 10th, 2014.

The Heavens
Declare
DeclareModern 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.

Planet of the Apes
Evolutionists argue that humans
have descended from ape-like ancestors, thereby reducing
humanity to the status of a primate animal. Darwin's seminal
theory led inexorably to this conclusion. However, the Bible
clearly states that we were created distinct from the animals,
and “in the image of God”.
This presentation examines the various “ape-men” used to
support human evolution; including Neanderthals, Homo erectus,
and Australopithecines. Were there really ape-men or is the
infamous missing-link still missing?

Seattle Creation
Conference, October 2011.

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.

The
Miracle 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.

Seattle Creation
Conference, October 2010.

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.

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 a powerful
illustration of how worldviews impact
interpretations 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.

Creation Astronomy
This seminar provides a general
overview of creation astronomy / cosmology, and highlights
important players and resources for future study. It is designed
to be given in two 45-60 minute sessions.
The first half of the seminar takes a look at the purpose of
the celestial bodies, and provides the Biblical foundation and
physical proof for a young universe. The second half analyzes
Big Bang cosmology and presents evidence which argues against
this ideology, and shows how the data instead supports a
creation cosmology. It is asserted that the Big Bang is
inconsistent with the Biblical creation, and the Earth occupies
a special place at the center of the cosmos.

Love Your God With All Your Mind
The 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 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 hasn't been
seen until modern times. With evolutionary indoctrination
reaching epidemic proportions, these previously unseen treasures
provide valuable tools for creation evangelism.
Recorded at the
Seattle Creation Conference. August 2007.

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.
