The Development of Order
2017-01-17 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Phoenix) | County Government Office, 4001 E Foothills Dr, Sierra Vista, AZ, 85635, United States
We live in an orderly universe. Does that order happen by chance or must it be directed?

Is order in the Universe breaking down? If it is, what does the break down say about the past and our future?

How does the concept of order bear directly upon the theory of evolution? What arguments exist to possibly support evolution in spite of the order we see?

The Decay Among Us & The Word, Light, and Life – Jesus and His Creation
2017-01-17 09:00 - 12:00 | County Government Office, 4001 E Foothills Dr, Sierra Vista, AZ, 85635, United States
The Decay Among Us

This presentation expands upon this reality in a wide-ranging discussion about one universal truth: everything is decaying. Whether observed in the mechanical, geological, astronomical, biological, social, political or spiritual spheres of human knowledge, the fact of decay is a reality. From the Bible we understand that the reason for this degradation of everything relates directly to sin and the curse that came upon this universe as a result. There is good news though, this decay is not permanent. This is a very powerful presentation that will challenge you to look at the impact of sin in our universe, on our planet and in your own life.

The Word, Light, and Life – Jesus and His Creation

This talk looks at Christ in Creation and throughout Scripture to see how the author and sustainer of life imparted that life into His Creation and continues to do so. Using John 1 as the main text, this discussion will look at three qualities that are used to describe Christ and how, from science and the Bible, we see each of these apply to creation, the world around us and our new creation in Him (2 Cor 5:17). This talk will also look at the antithesis of this, decay and death, and how these are combatants in His creation that will one day again be removed – also by His work. Please join us for this enlightening message that will resonate with the foundation of the Gospel.

“Dinosaurs, the Bible, and Little Billy”

Children often have a great fascination for dinosaurs; their names, what they looked like, where they lived, and when they lived. As a result, evolutionists have used dinosaurs to help establish a cultural indoctrination that dinosaurs prove evolution and disprove the Bible. So, even as our childhood fascination fades, this indoctrination remains entrenched in our thinking. Yet, a proper study and understanding of dinosaurs fails to support of evolutionary teachings, and is actually fully consistent with biblical teachings on creation and the flood.

“It Doesn’t Take a Rocket Scientist to Know There’s Open Rebellion to Scriptural Authority”

Is there open rebellion to Scriptural Authority in the Church? How many church leaders refuse to stand firm on the Word of God, either through willful ignorance, intimidation, fear of ridicule, division or avoidance? Are Christians failing to impact their culture ultimately by sending their children to government schools? What is the proper role of Scripture as it relates to “Science”? Examine evidence and be assured that “The Bible and True Science are in Perfect Harmony!”.

Biblical Account of Noah’s Ark and Ramifications of its Discovery
2016-11-17 19:00 - 20:30 | The Journey, 4700 N. Swan Rd., Tucson, AZ, 85718, United States
Could Noah’s Ark still exist on top of Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey? Who has seen it? How could it still be there after roughly 4,500 years? If rediscovered, what would it potentially mean to the Church and the secular world? Hear of David’s “calling” to search for the ark and how it came about. Learn of his journeys to Turkey and his harrowing climbs of Mt. Ararat. More than that, see what the biblical account actually has to say about the flood and the nature of it. Secular geologists have come to ridicule the biblical narrative of the flood, and for good reason: if true, then the whole foundation of the evolutionary interpretation of the fossil record, and the geological evidence for millions or even billions of years, is overturned.

Presenter: David Larsen, BA in Biblical Literature & Physics, MS Div

BIO:

David Larsen graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Literature and a minor in physics. It was during his time there that God began to give him a passion for the truth of Creation, both on the scientific level and in the Scriptures. It was in 1973 that David first became aware of, and interested in, the search for Noah's Ark, though, in retrospect, he realized it was something God had planted deep within him long before this. After matriculating at ORU, David spent two years as a graduate assistant in the physics department at the University of Arkansas. While there he taught Astronomy labs and was able to present many aspects of the truth of creation to his Astronomy students. Feeling led to attend seminary, he eventually moved to California and graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary in 1982. Deciding against full-time "ministry," he began teaching high school math and physics. He continually used his background and his passion for truth to present his students with science evidence in support of creation, and he began to see some of them led into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Archaeological Anomalies and the Great Pyramids
2016-11-15 19:00 - 20:30 | First Baptist Church of Tempe, 4525 South McClintock Drive, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
If the biblical account of history is true, then not only have men and dinosaurs always coexisted, the fossil record is actually a remnant of the global flood of Noah, and there should be evidence of man’s existence throughout it. Is there? As this fascinating presentation demonstrates, manmade artifacts have actually been found all throughout the fossil record. So, is there a rational explanation for why man’s remains are not found adjacent to dinosaurs more often? (Yes!) Where is the evidence of civilization found in relation to dinosaur fossils? Are there evidences of the civilization that existed before the flood? If so, do they demonstrate the existence of “primitive” man, or sophisticated civilization? Watch this video to see evidence that even such incredible edifices as the Great Pyramids of Egypt may very well have been constructed before the Flood by an advanced civilization capable of engineering feats even greater than our own. Perhaps this technology fits well with that necessary to create a seaworthy vessel that is not only large enough to contain all the various kinds of animals on the Earth, but capable of surviving a catastrophic, world-enveloping flood.

2016-11-14 19:00 - 20:30 | Palmcroft Baptist Church – Phoenix, 15825 North 35th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ, 85053, United States
Hear the story of David’s eleventh trip to eastern Turkey and his fifth climb of Mt. Ararat in search of the Ark. Hear about the climb itself, the near-death experiences, but also learn about newly discovered eyewitness evidence that the ark indeed still rests high on Mt. Ararat. In addition, learn what other fascinating things may await discovery on and around the mountain. If Ararat indeed is the first location of the rebirth of civilization following the flood, then evidence could and should exist all around the mountain.

Session 7 – Oct 30 – Young Earth Theology

This session looks at the basic question that is on most Christian’s minds when the subject of the age of the is discussed and that is “why does it matter?”. This session will concentrate on how this issue impacts our view of God and Scripture and how the concept of deep time has become the god of this age. It will then challenge you to address some of the tremendous theological ramifications of accepting deep time, showing how it undermines the very gospel and has become a gateway for liberal thought throughout the Church.

Key verses:

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. – Romans 5:12

For in six days, the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. – Exodus 20:11

Session 6 – Oct 23 – Age of the Earth

This session looks in depth at the myriad of evidence that supports a young earth that is ignored by both secular and non-secular old earth advocates. Do you have to check your mind at the door to believe in a young earth? A look at the viability of old vs. young earth interpretations of astronomical and geological features is presented and how our interpretations are influenced by the world. It is not intended to be argumentative, but instead thought pondering and faith building.

Key verses:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”. – Isaiah 55:8-9

That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. – Colossians 2:2-3

10:45: Helium in zircons

Radioactive crystals make and lose Helium These radioactive crystals, called zircons, are common in granitic rock. As a zircon crystal grows in cooling magma, it incorporates Uranium and Thorium atoms from the magma into its crystal lattice. The Uranium and Thorium atoms inside a zircon decay through a series of intermediate elements to eventually become atoms of Lead. Thus a Uranium 238 atom produces eight Helium atoms as it becomes a Lead 206 atom.

A full day field trip for the students and faculty of ACU to see first-hand the evidence at the Grand Canyon of the effects of the Genesis Flood and the young-earth biblical time frame.

Presenter: Jim Clarke, B.S. Geology, M.S.E Geological Engineering

Jim Clarke received his BS in Geology from Northern Arizona University and MSE in Geological Engineering at Arizona State University. He was taught the secular old-earth time frame at those institutions. As a Christian, he gained a full biblical understanding when confronted with the question: How can the geological record, interpreted as millions of years of death, disease and suffering be reconciled with the God of the Bible saying six times in Genesis Chapter One that everything was good or very good? In other words, death either came before sin, in the old-earth interpretation, or death came after sin, when Adam and Eve disobeyed in the Garden of Eden, in the young-earth history given in Genesis. Jim emphasizes this question whenever he presents. He is the Resident Geologist for AzOSA. He also is working for a company that does remediation of hazardous materials sites around Arizona. Jim has a variety of geological presentations that include these biblical principles.

Session 5 – Oct 16 – The Flood, Fossils and Earth History

This session looks at the overwhelming support of the creation account from the fossil record and how the Genesis Flood relates to this topic and the interpretations of geological evolution. A Biblical overview of a global catastrophic flood is given, and the feasibility/sufficiency of Noah’s Ark is presented. The Tower of Babel, the Ice Age and the evidence for highly intelligent early man are also touched upon.

Key verses:

Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left and those with him in the ark. – Gen 7:23

They will say, "Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. – 2 Pet 3:4-6

Session 4 – Oct 9 – Stars, Light and Energy

This session looks at some topics related to astronomical evolution and the claims that a universe filled with order, and constrained by natural laws, could arise by chance in defiance of these laws now operating. Discussion covers the origin of the universe, the problems with the Big Bang Theory & the roles of the laws of science – especially the laws of order. Biblical considerations of light and energy are discussed, and how they relate to this issue and to our understanding of God and his workings in history.

Key verses:

"Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or fix their rule over the earth?” – Job 38:33

The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. – Romans 8:19-21

“Creation, The Flood & Open Rebellion to Scriptural Authority”
2016-10-02 09:30 - 10:30 | Canyon Del Oro Baptist Church, 9200 N. Oracle Rd. , Tucson, AZ, 85704, United States
Guest Session Topic:

This session will examine the compromise that exists even within the Church and that there is open rebellion to Scriptural Authority, especially as it relates to Creation, The Flood, and Biblical Chronology. The current status in many of our churches and Christian organizations is “Scriptura sub Scientia”, so-called science. Many pastors and church leaders have refused to stand firm on the Word of God, either through willful ignorance, intimidation, a fear of ridicule or of being divisive, or through a “head-in-the-sand” attitude. This compromise has had a tremendous negative impact on the efficacy of the Church in its mission. The good news is that we can stand firm on God’s Word and that the Bible & True Science are in Perfect Harmony!

Session 3 – Sept 25 – Design and the Origin of Life

This session looks at the design & purpose we see throughout the earth & the universe, the overwhelming complexity of life, & the impossibility of life by accident. It shows how this design points to a loving, powerful and wise God that loves beauty and orderliness. This session also briefly discusses the impact of the Intelligent Design Movement & examples of animal design in nature that defy evolutionary explanation.

Key verses:

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. – Romans 1:20
