May 15 – 7:00 PM – Tempe: Ice Age: Only the Bible Can Explain It. The Ice Age is a major mystery of mainstream Earth science. Consider evidence that there was only one Ice Age, it occurred after the Flood and extended only about 700 years long. Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets built up mostly during this time, Ice Age animals were both warmth-loving and cold-loving types, large lakes occupied the now dry areas of the Earth, and a mass extinction occurred at the end of the Ice Age. Creation Ministry International’s Skip Tilton, a nationally known speaker and teacher, presents recent scientific findings that offer a robust alternative to the standard Ice Age explanations. You’ll be amazed.

May 21 – 7:00 PM – Phoenix: Creation and History. Ideas about Earth’s origins massively impacted the history of ideas that spread through philosophy, political science, morals and ethics, and more.
