Ukraine Trip Successful

Dr. Kezele has returned from his successful Creation Science teaching mission trip in the Ukraine and Moldova. He presented to over 600 people at seven universities, technical, and medical schools. He was welcomed and presented at a Pastor’s meeting, a seminary, and a Bible College. All students are receiving a book translated into the Ukraine language: The Myth of Evolution written by a Russian author. Each student received a DVD key card to see on the internet a Ukrainian translation of the movie, Evolution’s Achilles’ Heel.

Thanks to all of you who were praying and who gave financial support. The Lord truly opened doors and people opened their minds. Plans are already underway to go back and do multi-day seminars in 2020.

Why Can’t We Be Friends? Oh Wait, Maybe We Are!

June 17 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Palmcroft Baptist Church – Phoenix, 15825 North 35th Avenue
Phoenix, AZ 85053

 
This presentation looks at symbiotic relationships in nature amongst a wide variety of organisms. All 4 categories of symbiosis are explained and examples cited from each, along with what each type teaches us about God, and the fallen world in which we live.

Yeah, But Who Wrote the Software?

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

 
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

Ice Ages: A Scientific and Biblical Perspective

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

 
How is Earth in a new ice age climate crisis? What was the pre-Flood climate like and what can that teach us about the future? What does the Bible say about Earth’s future climate? What are the facts and myths of Global Climate Crisis? Are we experiencing man-made climate change crisis or natural variation or a combination of both? See how and why new discoveries are confounding so many evolutionists and scientists around the world.
 
SPEAKER: Joe Sebeny
 

The Six Days of Creation and the Age of the Earth

June 23 @ 4:30 pm – 5:45 pm
Liberty Baptist Church, 3100 N Williamson Valley Rd
Prescott, AZ 86305

 
Is the Creation Explanation for Origins a Religion? Is Evolution a Scientific Fact? Is There Really an Abundance of Scientific Evidence that Supports a Biblical View of Origins? What is Science? Are We a Product of Evolutionary Development Due to Time and Chance? or, Do We Owe Our Existence to a Loving, All-Powerful Creator? Are the 6 First Days as Described in the Book of Genesis Literal 24-Hour Days, or Unknown Lengths of Time, or Ages? How Can We Know for Sure? How Do We Respond to Compromise Within the Church? The Good News is That We Can Stand Firm on God’s Word and That the Bible & True Science are in Perfect Harmony!
 
SPEAKER: Joe Sebeny
