New Radio Outlets in Arizona Feature Creation Science Programs
(Submitted by Richard Stevens)

A new Christian voice began airing in January 2019 during the daylight hours in Phoenix and 24-hours daily in Tucson, carrying creation science programs regularly. Two stations, KVCP, 88.3 FM (Phoenix) and KVCC, 88.5 FM (Tucson), are part of the Milwaukee-based VCY America network of 53 stations, which “seeks to advance the gospel through every legitimate means.”

The wide variety of Bible-based presentations, along with the long-running radio drama, Unshackled, the full Salem Radio Network News feed, and venerable Christian music, is punctuated with creation science features. Monday through Friday, there are:

Creation Moments: 5:07 a.m. & 8:55 a.m.
Genesis Science Minute: 9:26 a.m.
Answers with Ken Ham: 4:12 p.m.

On Saturdays at 1 p.m. is the longer format feature, Science, Scripture and Salvation.

VCY is the acronym for Voice of Christian Youth, with its origins in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, continues as a traditional non-profit evangelical Christian ministry, without broadcast outlets throughout the Midwest, and into Texas and the Southwest. The creation science features are professionally produced by organizations such as Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and Answers in Genesis (AIG).

EVENTS

Arizona Welcomes Dr. Chris Williams for February Events

BIO: 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 for these diseases. He is currently a full-time laboratory software consultant working in the area of cancer-related testing and treatment recommendations.

Dr. Williams 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 to further develop and promote this technology

 

The Second Dirty Little Secret of Evolution – 2 Dates and Locations!

February 17 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Arizona Christian University, 1 W Firestorm Way AT&T Auditorium Administration Building
Glendale, AZ 85306

February 18 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
First Baptist Church of Tempe, 4525 South McClintock Drive
Tempe, AZ 85282

Even if you accept the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe, you find that evolution has no explanation for the numerous arbitrary fundamental constants that define the physics and chemistry that make galaxies, planets, and life possible. These fundamental constants, which define the mass and charge of basic particles (such as protons and electrons), gravitational and electromagnetic forces, and much more, do not show any evidence of having evolved, but rather point to an intelligent “manufacturer” of our universe. The presentation will conclude with time for questions and answers.

SPEAKER: Chris Williams, PhD, Biochemistry, Ohio State University

 

The World Changing Global Flood

February 20 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The Journey, 4700 N. Swan Rd.
Tucson, AZ 85718

What are the best Global Flood theories? What happened “on that day” when “all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the flood gates of the sky were opened?” (Genesis 7:11) Are there any real, observable and testable evidences that support the reality of a catastrophic global flood? Where did all the water come from and where did it go? See current, exciting research presented in an easy-to-understand format and how historical mysteries confirm key biblical events tha will strengthen your faith! See how and why new discoveries are confounding so many evolutionists and scientists around the world.

SPEAKER: Terry Mondy, MS Biology Purdue University, BS Biology Education U of IL

BIO: Mr. Mondy retired after 33 years as a science teacher, was voted one of Illinois’ 10 best science teachers, received Outstanding Contributions to Education Award, honored by the National Ass’n of Biology Teachers as the Outstanding Biology Teacher in IL, yet attacked by the ACLU. He has published over 25 articles on Creation vs. Evolution, authored two biology-life science books, discovered a dinosaur at the Paluxy River, TX, and teaches creation science.

 

Yeah, But Who Wrote the Software – 2 Dates and Locations!

February 25 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Payson Christian School Chapel, 1000 E. Frontier St
Payson, AZ

February 27 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Lake Havasu SDA Church, 3130 Chemehuevi Blvd
Lake Havasu City, AZ 86406

This presentation looks at various animals and the instincts that drive their peculiar behaviors. Since these behaviors are not taught by the parents then the ability to perform them had to be “programmed” into the creatures before birth. Any and all evolutionary scenarios attempting to describe complex instincts fall completely short due to the observable evidence that information can only come from prior information, not randomness, which all points to a Creator Who designed organisms to “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth” which compels us to give praise to Him!

SPEAKER: Michael Calcagno, BS Elementary Education

BIO: Michael Calcagno serves as the VP of the Gila Division of the Arizona Origin Science Association in Payson, AZ. He has a BS degree in Elementary Education from Portland State University and speaks regularly on creation and Biblical apologetics.
