► Apr 14 – 11:15 AM – Scottsdale Bible Church: 50 Facts vs. Darwinism in the Textbooks. Eye-opening for anyone who thinks Darwinism is, or may be, true. Taking Darwinian teachings directly from college and high school books, Russ Miller exposes frauds that have undermined the faith of billions of people, including 86% of today’s Christian-raised students. Russ also reveals how these false secular teachings have corrupted scientific research and education. No one with an open mind will ever believe in Darwinism after seeing these revelations.
► Apr 15 – 7:00 PM – Phoenix: Ancient Earth Conditions. When people today think of ancient Earth, visions of a molten planet, billions of years, ammonia atmosphere, and the gradual creeping of evolutionary life emerging from a primordial pond often come to mind for those holding an evolutionary world view. The biblical narrative paints a picture of sudden life, high complexity, and an environment perfectly suited for human existence. Today we find fossils of giant animals and plants from a world that we would hardly recognize. Brad Barnhart (B.S. in Marketing, M.B.A. in Project Origins) examines how the ancient world properly fits into a biblical world view, and offers multiple proofs and examples to answer: Why did man live so long? How did animals and plants grow so large? What happened to the dinosaurs? Why was there no Burger King? (Seriously.)
► Apr 16 – 7:00 PM – Tempe: “Live” Lessons from the Bible & Biology! Combining God’s living Word with God’s living Creation, Steve Lachonas will present four live animals, focusing on both their incredible designs and the lessons they teach us about God and His Word. Depending upon availability and the animals’ moods, Steve will select from these: African bullfrog (teaching devotion); Legless Lizard (illustrating change); Tarantula (ideas on salvation); Vinegaroon, a scorpion-like arachnid (modeling bitterness); Dead Leaf Mantis (teaching character and camouflage); Madagascar Hissing Cockroach (how to bear a burden).
Steve graduated from the Masters College and has a passion for using animals to glorify God. His ministry has ranged from zoo keeper and animal presenter, to outdoorsman-educator, to family programs instructor and animal handler at the Phoenix Zoo. Don’t miss this terrific thought-provoking animal fest!
► Apr 17 – 7:00 PM – Ariz. Christian Univ.: Time Clocks in Nature and the Evidence of a Young Earth. On the issue of time, the evolutionary and biblical world views are locked in mortal combat. All evolutionists argue for long time frames extending billions of years into the past, while some creationists hold to a much shorter time frame going back only a few thousand years. Most people are not familiar with the evidence for both positions and how to interpret it. This session seeks to explore and explain the mechanisms of clocks in nature and how they work, how to interpret them, and the pitfalls of logic that undergird their arguments. Many natural clocks indicate a young earth, yet few people have heard of them. Brad Barnhart (BS, MBA) answers: How does radiometric dating work? Why do radiometric dating techniques give radically different dates? How is the formation of oceans best explained by short time frames?

► April 13 – 9:00 AM – Dinosaurs Are More Recent Than You Think! Dr. Kezele presents the contrast between the evolutionary views and the Biblical concept of dinosaurs through time, explores the “myths” of dragons, presents Scriptural references to dinosaurs, and supplies the historical and physical evidence that dinosaurs lived recently.
► April 13 – 10:00 AM – Dinos to Birds? – Horse Feathers! Prof. Kezele demonstrates the impossibility of dinosaurs evolving into birds by analyzing: Avian lungs vs. reptilian lungs, bird hips vs. lizard hips, different types of three-clawed feet, the origin of feathers, the origin of flight, and Archaeopteryx and Protoavis. Two rarely quoted Scripture verses are incredibly appropriate for this subject – discover all of the secrets.
► April 13 – 11:00 AM – Do You Have a Date with Carbon 14? Learning about one atom starts with an overview of the relationships among Scripture, science and evolution, then scopes in on the basics of atomic structure that describe Carbon-14’s unique formation and decay processes. The “aha!” comes with the discovery of Carbon-14 in diamonds and coal – which should not be there if the earth is very old. Meanwhile, Carbon-14 decay may well lead to the potential of accumulating mutations in the human genetic code. Will we someday glow in the dark? Or as a species just self-destruct? Get the good news from Dr. Kezele!
