The Geology of Kartchner Caverns and the Whetstone Mountains
2017-07-25 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Phoenix) | Payson Public Library, 328 N Mc Lane Road, Payson, AZ, 85541, United States
Kartchner Caverns is one of Arizona’s geologic wonders. Secular geologists have concluded through evaluation of index fossils that the limestone rocks in which Kartchner Caverns has formed were deposited hundreds of millions of years ago and radioisotope dating has indicated that the cave started forming more than 70,000 years ago. However, actual observation at Kartchner Caverns and at other caves show that cave formations such as stalactites and stalagmites do indeed grow rapidly and within the Biblical framework of less than 4,000 years. This talk shows that the Biblical Record of Noah’s Flood provides the best explanation for the formation of Kartchner Caverns and other caves.

The Mystery of Consciousness
2017-09-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Palmcroft Baptist Church – Phoenix, 15825 North 35th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ, 85053, United States
It’s the essence of who we are as humans. Without our functioning mind, nothing else matters.
But can modern science really explain consciousness in terms of particles and energy?
And can evolutionists explain the details of how ordinary matter evolves self-awareness or becomes conscious?

Ph.D. biochemist Chris Williams will discuss the current state of these issues along with related topics including optical illusions, color vision, artificial intelligence/computer consciousness, mind reading, and morality. Join us for a thought provoking conversation, with time for questions and answers afterwards.

BIO:
Dr. Chris Williams was a National Merit Scholar, a National Science Foundation Fellow, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a summa cum laude graduate of The Ohio State University. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Ohio State.
Dr. Williams spent ten years developing and implementing laboratory software for the analysis of mass spectrometry data to detect genetic diseases in newborn children. His software has been used in numerous state and national newborn screening laboratories around the world to help screen millions of babies. He is currently a laboratory software consultant working in the area of cancer-related testing and treatment recommendations.
He has also invented a unique method for making safer, measurably less radioactive foods for mothers and children. These new types of food could prevent billions of genetic damage events that would normally occur over a person’s lifetime, particularly in critical brain and heart cells. Preventing this genetic damage could lead to reduced risks of cancer and birth defects, and may even slow the aging process. He has been awarded two U.S. patents, and has founded a company, Radiocarb Genetics, to further develop and promote this technology.

God’s Design in the Human Genome
2017-09-21 19:00 - 20:30 | Stonebridge Christian Fellowship, 2700 Jamaica Blvd., , Lake Havasu City,, AZ, 86406, United States
The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in our understanding of genetics. Data from the Human Genome Project has revealed a complex design of genetic activity, including chromosome-kissing, dual control systems, 4-dimensional information coding, and acoustic vibrations.

These features were not predicted by 20th century evolutionary teaching. Instead,

the human genome represents a level of design and sophistication that cannot be explained by any contemporary mechanism of evolution. However, such intricate design is fully predicted and accounted for by the creation model.

Formation of Species After Noah's Flood - Having Fun with Dogs
2017-09-30 15:30 - 17:00 | Tree of Life Christian Fellowship, 2232 N Ocotillo Ln, Huachuca City, AZ, 85616, United States
This is a fun talk featuring dogs that first makes the distinction between species and the “biblical kind”. It then reviews what Scripture has to say about Noah’s flood and the animals, each “according to its kind”. Artificial selection (breeding) and programmed filling are discussed, explaining how they occur, then contrasting them to how evolutionists think how natural selection works. Then the post flood world, including the single Ice Age is briefly presented, with the explanation of how that brought about the environmental pressures to which organisms react by programmed filling, causing speciation,brought about by five mechanisms actively and intentionally operating in the genomes of organisms. A final contrast is given between the demand of evolution for new information to be added to an initially very small gene pool by random chance events through mutations causing the development of new kinds, and the biblical concept of programmed filling.

Dinosaurs & Fossils: Amazing Evidence for Creation
2017-10-24 19:00 - 20:30 | Payson Public Library, 328 N Mc Lane Road, Payson, AZ, 85541, United States
The story has been told countless times in our modern culture: dinosaurs lived and died millions of years ago before mankind evolved on planet earth. But just because a lie is repeated over and over doesn’t make it true! This talk will show that dinosaurs did not live millions of years ago, and that their fossil remains show that they lived and died in recent history, confirming once again that the history in Genesis is true.

2017-10-28 09:00 - 10:30 | Willow Hills Baptist Church, 1071 Mogollon Rd, Prescott, AZ, 86301, United States
People of all ages are captivated by dinosaurs. Unfortunately, evolutionists use dinosaurs to indoctrinate the young and the old with an earth history that includes millions of years but has no room for the Bible. This presentation will show the power of a person’s starting assumptions (or “worldview”) when interpreting past events, and will define the different types of sciences used in investigating the world around us, with a thorough exploration of these enigmatic lizards. Let’s take dinosaurs to the Bible and see what God’s word has to say about them!

The Illusion of Evolution's Deep Time Exposed
2017-11-30 19:00 - 20:30 | Stonebridge Christian Fellowship, 2700 Jamaica Blvd.,, Lake Havasu City, AZ, 86406, United States
1. Does the Bible actually contain a timeline of Earth’s history?
Numerous biblical scholars have independently unlocked the historical timeline of Creation to Christ.
2. Does the fossil record speak to us?
Completely mineralized fossil remains retain details on a cellular level throughout the entire Geologic column. The admixture of marine and continental fossil remains from diverse ecosystems in the same strata supports the Biblical flood.
3. What do the rocks of the Earth say?
The illusion of para-conformities, along with worldwide occurrence of sand-injectites, requires a re-thinking of “Deep Time”.
4. How about all the soft tissue preservation now being discovered?
No longer deniable – the number of discoveries of original bio-organic tissues in so called ancient fossils is troubling to evolutionists. Proposed mechanisms of preservation are not reality oriented.
This meeting, as with all AzOSA meetings, is free!

The Red Record
2018-01-16 19:00 - 20:30 | First Baptist Church of Tempe, 4525 South McClintock Drive, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
The Delaware Indians have the most detailed Native American account of origins – extending back to the origin of humanity. This talk examines the astounding similarity of this record to the biblical account of early earth history – including creation, the entrance of death, the worldwide flood, intriguing references to the post flood ice age, and other details of earth history.
SPEAKER: Bruce Malone of Search for the Truth Ministry
BIO: Bruce Malone gave his life to Christ over 25 years ago, as the Lord miraculously preserved him through a close call with death. Since that time Bruce has looked for a deeper purpose in life and realized that rejection of Biblical truth, justified by belief in evolution, is the acid which is eating away at the moral foundation of our culture. Bruce spent 30 years working as a research leader for the Dow Chemical Corporation, has a degree 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. Bruce has spoken extensively, from secular universities to Christian groups, in 12 countries. Since 2008 Bruce given almost 800 lectures to more than 50,000 people. More than 60,000 books on the scientific credibility of creation have been donated to students and prisoners.
