Mask Policy: Masks not required

Speaker: Guy Forsythe

Summary: On top of the continental crust there is 1 to 2 miles of sedimentary rock. Almost all of this rock is in huge flat beds of strata. Where did the sediment come from? The answer to that question limits the possibilities of how the sediment was deposited. The one possible process may come as a shock to you as most creationists have never heard of the possibility of this process.

SPEAKER: Bruce Malone
BIO: Search for the Truth (Ministry) began with the desire to bring the evidence for creation to Christians and non-Christians who are unaware of the credibility of God’s Word when it deals with science and history. After giving his life to Christ, Bruce Malone developed a series of lectures on the evidence for creation but found that the majority of churches would not allow the class to be taught because the subject was “too controversial”. Because of this response from many churches, Bruce started purchasing space to place the evidence for creation (which students are not shown in public schools, museums, or media) into local public newspapers. From this simple start Search for the Truth Ministries has grown to fifteen published books with over 220,000 copies in print. The articles contained in Search for the Truth and A Closer Look at the Evidence have been reproduced in dozens of newspapers and come with permission granted to reproduce the materials at no charge. Bruce is a popular seminar speaker with many lectures currently available on DVD.

The Trade Secrets for Evolution
2022-01-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Life’s Destiny Church, 2601 E. Brown Rd, Mesa, AZ, 85213
Presenter: Bruce Malone of Search for the Truth Ministries

Summary: Every area of science seems to be blinded by an assumption of naturalism. Even when the impossibility of evolutionary conclusions is known, these problems with cosmic, geological, genetic, and biological evolution seem to be closely guarded trade secrets within each scientific discipline.
This lecture takes a closer look at these “trade secrets.”

Bio: Bruce spent 30 years working as a research leader for the Dow Chemical Corporation, has a degree in Chemical Engineering, and is responsible for key innovations which have resulted in 18 patents. But his passion is sharing the relevance and evidence for creation, so he retired early to become full time director of Search for the Truth Ministries.

God’s Global Warming Worked Just Fine!
2021-11-17 19:00 - 20:30 | Payson First Baptist Church, 303 W. Main St, Payson, AZ, 85541, United States
It happened before the Flood, according to the fossils; and it worked just fine, according to the fossils. So, yes, the globe may be warming, but is it really all that bad? Physicist Dr. Russ Humphreys will reveal scientific evidence about this topic that will reaffirm your faith in God’s Word.
Speaker Bio – Dr. Russ Humphreys is a physicist who worked for Sandia National Labs, has authored many scientific papers and received several awards for his research. He currently speaks for the Institute For Creation Research.

God’s Big Magnets in the Sky
2021-11-16 19:00 - 20:30 | Life’s Destiny Church, 2601 E. Brown Rd, Mesa, AZ, 85213
Scripture suggests God created nearly everything as water and then transformed it into planets and stars. I suggest that He used the hydrogen nuclei in the water to start the planets’ magnetic fields. For the smaller planets, like Earth, the fields could only last thousands of years. After I published this theory in 1984, NASA space probes have been steadily confirming the predictions of the theory, as we shall see from a tour of the Solar System. The theory could only work if the initial material were water and the age of the Solar System were thousands of years, not billions of years. So the magnetic fields of the planets strongly support the Biblical account of creation.
SPEAKER: Russell Humphreys, B.S. Physics at Duke University, PhD, Physics, Louisiana State University
BIO: Dr. Humphreys worked in the High Voltage Laboratory of General Electric Company, designing and inventing equipment and researching high–voltage phenomena. While there, he received a U.S. patent and one of Industrial Research Magazine’s IR–100 awards. He also worked for Sandia National Laboratories (New Mexico) in nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed-power research, and theoretical atomic and nuclear physics. He worked with Sandia’s ‘Particle Beam Fusion Project’, and was co-inventor of special laser-triggered ‘Rimfire’ high-voltage switches, now coming into wider use. The last decade at Sandia saw greater emphasis on theoretical nuclear physics and radiation hydrodynamics in an effort to help produce the world’s first lab–scale thermonuclear fusion. Besides gaining two other U.S. patents, Dr Humphreys has been given two awards from Sandia, including an Award for Excellence for contributions to light ion–fusion target theory. Dr. Humphreys has been very active in Creation Science work and has published extensively on biblically based cosmology, planetary magnetism, and radioactivity. Dr Humphreys has been a longtime member of the Creation Research Society and is on its Board of Directors.

Toward a More Biblical Cosmology
2021-11-15 19:00 - 20:30 | Arizona Christian University, 1 W Firestorm Way, Glendale, AZ, 85306, United States
Three clues in Genesis chapter 1 point to the speed of light* in the heavens being trillions of times greater during the first four days of creation than it is today. Those same days on earth were of ordinary length, according to abundant clues in chapter 1 and the context of Exodus 20:11. According to general relativity and experiments, the “speed of time” is directly connected to the speed of light. So the speed of light on earth during creation week must have been what it is today. But the high speed of light in the heavens means that billions of years’ worth of events must have occurred out there before the end of the fourth day on earth. Because we observe the speed of light in the nearby heavens today as being what it is on earth, the speed of light in the heavens must have dropped at some time from being high down to today’s value. I propose that this change happened suddenly throughout the cosmos near the end of the fourth day. Such a change would mean that we would see no difference between things closer than 6,000 light-years and things beyond that distance. The interface would be entirely transparent to us. Yet we could see the cosmos billions of light-years away and having an apparent history of billions of years, allowing the heavens to declare the glory of God (Psalm 19:1).
*For those worried about Jason Lisle’s cosmology, this is the speed of light in both directions, both from and to the earth.

eKINDS – Examination of Kinds in Natural Diversification and Speciation
2021-09-28 19:00 - 20:30 | Payson First Baptist Church, 303 W. Main St, Payson, AZ, 85541, United States
Many people are fascinated with the amazing diversity of life that God has placed on the earth. People frequently ask questions, such as How are different animals related? and How did all this variety arise? The CRS eKINDS research initiative was developed to serve as a catalyst, promoting research that addresses numerous questions pertaining to the post-Flood repopulation of the earth. There have been some initial attempts to estimate the number and biological distinctions of the created kinds. In view of this, the eKINDS project is developing a new statistical tool that seeks to group species based on molecular similarities. Dr. Kevin Anderson heads the research on this project and will share fascinating details about what the latest in modern genetics reveals about how God created every living creature to reproduce “… after their kind…”!
Speaker Bio – Dr. Anderson has published over 20 papers in technical microbiology journals. He is also currently the Editor-in-chief of the Creation Research Society Quarterly, and is Director of the Van Andel Creation Research Center in Glendale, AZ.

How Critical Race Theory Contradicts Origin Science Studies and is Wholly Antithetical to Biblical and Social/Historical Truth
2021-09-27 19:00 - 20:30 | Arizona Christian University, 1 W Firestorm Way, Glendale, AZ, 85306, United States
Critical Race Theory attacks the concepts of truth, evidence, methods of reasoning, and proof. Origin Science rests its case upon foundations of truth, evidence, and reasoning. CRT disregards Biblical authority, while AzOSA credits Biblical authority. Knowing CRT’s premises, arguments, and conclusions is vitally important to advancing AzOSA’s mission.
Critical Race Theory (CRT) supplants the Gospel and the sufficiency of Jesus and the Cross. Fundamental core tenets of CRT have evolved from Marxism; Marxism is a demonic manifestation that presents caricatures of “justice” and “equality” in the attempt to derail people from the Christian worldview. In this presentation, I will deconstruct CRT to the extent I confirm its demonic machinations, and its impact on today’s church and culture.
