► Mar 18 – 7:00 PM – Phoenix / N. Scottsdale: “Live” Lessons from the Bible and Biology. Combining God’s living Word with God’s living Creation, Steve Lachonas will present four live animals, focusing on both their incredible designs and the lessons they teach us about God and His Word. Depending upon availability and the animals’ moods, Steve will select from these: African bullfrog (teaching devotion); Legless Lizard (illustrating change); Tarantula (ideas on salvation); Vinegaroon, a scorpion-like arachnid (modeling bitterness); Dead Leaf Mantis (teaching character and camouflage); Madagascar Hissing Cockroach (how to bear a burden).
Steve graduated from the Masters College and has a passion for using animals to glorify God. His ministry has ranged from zoo keeper and animal presenter, to outdoorsman-educator, to family programs instructor and animal handler at the Phoenix Zoo. Don’t miss this terrific thought-provoking animal fest!
► Mar 19 – 7:00 PM – Tempe: Time Line Problems with the Earth-Moon System. From the beginning, mankind has been fascinated with the moon. It masters the night sky, governs the tides, controls the weather, and affects every living thing on Earth. Recent scientific measurements indicate that the moon is slowly but urely leaving the orbit of Earth. This fact has profound implications, not only for the future, but also for the past. Still provoking are questions such as: Where did the moon come from? How long has it been there? How did it get there? Does the moon’s origin substantiate an evolutionary model or a creationist model? Brad Barnhart (B.S., M.B.A.) lights up this evening all about our favorite moon.
► Mar 20 – 7:00 PM – Ariz. Christian Univ.: “Live” Lessons from the Bible and Biology. Please see the full description above at March 18 or on the web page. Open to the public. Steve Lachonas, zoo professional, brings fascinating and strange live animals to see!

Open Letter to Christians and Friends of the CSHF: “The Creation Science Hall of Fame is your site. As directors of the CSHF, we want all creationists to feel part of this movement, web site and future building. We want to support all of the worlds’ best creationists….meaning those who have worked in the creation science field for a decent amount of time and who have Honored God’s Word as literally written in Genesis. We want to recognize Creation clubs, museums, Creation organizations as well as placing those who participate in the Creation Science arena on the Honorable Mention page of the CSHF web site.
“We can’t do this alone. We need your help … in building the first ever Creation Science Hall of Fame. It will be a place to honor and recognize those creationists who have dedicated their time and resources to demonstrate that God’s Word can be trusted. … In the spirit of Hebrews 11, and Romans 13:7, we seek to preserve the testimony and give honor where honor is due for all that the Christian community owes our inductees. We intend to have exhibits with pictures of Creationists, their stories, and artifacts of living as well as deceased Creationists. Over the years people will remember the contributions these people made to the world. If these men and women Creationists pass on, no one will remember their accomplishments, theories, bio-artifacts, etc., because their belongings, i.e., papers, signatures, photos, etc., will be scattered to future beneficiary basements only to be discarded in the future.
The Creation Science Hall of Fame will be a safe haven for those who would otherwise be forgotten. It will demonstrate to the world that there were and are reputable scientists who demonstrated a Super Natural Creation and showed that Darwinian Evolution was not possible.
“I’m asking you to partner with us and help build the first ever Creation Science Hall of Fame. You may donate any amount and we will place you or your family names on the ‘Wall of Honor’ inside the Creation Science Hall of Fame. Just click on ‘donate’ upon viewing the web site: Creation Science Hall of Fame. All inductees are encouraged to start collecting their Bio-Artifacts. In Christ, Nick Lally, Chairman, Board of Directors, The Creation Science Hall of Fame “
