Pima County Events

Nov 15 – 7:00 PM – Tucson: Seeing God’s Design Through Chemistry. You need air?  You’re not kidding! There is no substitute for oxygen in biological life and for the operation of Earth’s life support systems. What absolutely unique features of water molecules cause water to be a liquid under normal conditions and ice to be less dense than liquid water? What features of oxygen and nitrogen molecules prevent them from reacting with each other in the atmosphere under normal conditions and from dissolving in the waters on Earth? John DeKorte, NAU chemistry professor emeritus, answers these questions and shows how the transportation and use of oxygen in our bodies unmistakably point toward intelligent design by an amazingly smart God.Click for more details about all presentations at the Pima County Events Page.

Maricopa County Events

Nov 12 – 7:00 PM – Phoenix: Seeing God’s Design Through Chemistry.  You might need air in Tucson, but perhaps even more in the Valley of the Sun! Prof. John DeKorte, Ph.D (inorganic chemisty) shows how the fundamental elements of the Universe precisely combine on Earth to permit human life in a life-supporting environment. Do you know why it is vital that water molecules cause water to be a liquid under normal conditions and ice to be less dense than liquid water? Did you know certain features of oxygen and nitrogen molecules prevent them from reacting with each other in the atmosphere under normal conditions and from dissolving in the waters of the Earth? How does the movement and chemical operation of oxygen in our bodies reflect the indescribable genius of a Creator God?  This kind of chemistry has soul!

Nov 13 – 7:00 PM – Tempe: Seeing God’s Design Through Chemistry. Dr. DeKorte provides the same presentation at a location nearer East and South Valley residents. If you miss the Monday talk, come to this one.

Nov 14 – 7:00 PM – Arizona Christian University (Phoenix): Seeing God’s Design Through Chemistry.  On campus but open to the public, Dr. DeKorte’s oxygen-enriched presentation comes to the academic environment with information even non-science people should know and can readily understand. Last chance in the Phoenix area!

Uplifting and Life-Changing Videos

Produced by credentialed experts, AzOSA’s videos deliver information not easily found elsewhere. Curl up with some popcorn and fill your mind with something you’ll never forget. Need encouragement?  Read Philippians 4:8. And then follow that advice with one or more of these:

“Energy and the Death of the Universe” – Take a few notes from this video and never fear a skeptic’s “scientific” challenges to Creation again. Click for more info here.

“A Creationist Perspective on the Human Genome” – learn about Human DNA and decide for yourself if it glorifies the Intelligent Designer or an undirected naturalistic origin. Click for more info here.

“The Message of The Grand Canyon” – Arizona’s most prominent attraction lays bare the geology that supports a worldwide flood. Click for more info here.

“You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby” – Whether you have had a baby or have been one, the processes and mechanisms that occur to make childbirth successful will blow you away. (Nothing too graphic – everything quite fantastic.) Click for more info here.
