Evidence the Earth Is At or Near the Center of Universe
By: Mark Matthews
Since Galileo, it has been popular, in the name of Science, to present the Earth as a Planet, a "Wandering Star," cruising around an obscure, moving solar system, in an obscure, moving galaxy, a mere unimportant pebble in a vast meaningless array of self-created objects. Is this view really "Science" or is it anti science religion? Six major lines of evidence will be presented, all from observed science, not vain speculation, all clearly pointing to the Earth not only as being at or near the center of the Cosmos, but also as a key focal point of the Cosmos itself. For no other planet in the Cosmos, could these same observations be made.  To believe Earth is an accident, requires a real suspension of sanity, or promotion of ignorance.

Darwin's Origin of Species... Science or Fantasy? By George Schulte

This presentation will be an in-depth review of a book written by George Schulte, MS geology.  The book provides a chapter-by-chapter critique of Charles Darwin's infamous, and world-changing book, The Origin of Species, published in 1859.  Before the book, especially during the 1600s, 1700s and early 1800s, most scientists and most other people in the western world accepted the Biblical account of Creation and the Flood.  During this period, some of the greatest scientists, nearly all Bible-believing, made breakthrough discoveries in the major fields of science... Newton, Faraday, Pascal, Boyle and hundreds of others.  Darwin's book advanced the notion that all living things came into being by gradual, purely materialistic means, without God.  The world, seemingly always eager to eliminate God, leapt at this idea.  Schulte's book shows that Darwin provides no scientific evidence for his theory, and in fact, he pointed out, throughout his book, many grave difficulties with his own theory.

The Origin of Life - Part II
by Tom Willis

Part I covered 2500-years of the irrational faith in spontaneous generation of life through the 1800's, and introduced the current "theory" proposed by the Russian, Oparin, and its "proof" contained in virtually every High School Biology text I have seen: the Miller-Urey Experiment. It, like all the rest, has 100% experimental failure, but is presented in each biology text as certifying the scientific character of atheism.  Part II will review the modern defense of this totally defenseless belief system.  As last time, we will include a number of choice quotes from the liturature.

Early Visitations to the Americas
By Lynn Lemons

The Evolutionist paradigm is that man evolved over a few million years.  About 9,000 years ago he finally evolved sufficient cognitive ability to navigate, build structures, etc.  The Christian paradigm is that man was created, did not exist 9,000 years ago, didn't evolve, and began with more intelligence than he has today.  Man started with the ability, if not the technology, to do great things.  For example, he did not, have to wait until he evolved from apes to be able to navigate.  Lynn will present evidence supporting the Christian view of early man from his ability to navigate and travel great distances, to places like the Americas.

The Origin of Life
Is There Any Theory of How It Happened?
by Tom Willis

Virtually every High School Biology text I have seen (about 12) contains diagrams and discussion of the Miller-Urey Experiment as an "Origin of Life experiment," each essentially implying that it contributed greatly to the atheist theory that "Life just happened." What experiments have actually been performed and what theories advanced to rid of us the need for God to bring about life? What were the results? What do we actually know about the subject? What are the only logical conclusions from those experiments and theories?

Velocity of Light - Proof of Old Earth?  By: David Penny 
Light travel time to Earth from distance stars is supposed to prove Earth is very old. Einstein's theories of relativity are based on a constant speed of light and the equivalence of gravity and acceleration with its warped space and time dilation. Einstein rejected the idea that light is transported by a medium and that anything can travel faster than the speed of light which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. Simple observations about the nature of light and gravity are totally contrary to Einstein's theory. A modified classical Gallilean relativity, without warped space and with commonly known phenomena of light and gravity, can explain light travel time and other problems like the Pioneer anomaly and the Shapiro effect where light appears to fail to obey either Einstein's or Newton's theories of light. The speed of light, according to Maxwell's equations, may in fact approach infinite speeds in deep or interstellar space.

"Geologic Evidences for Very Rapid Strata Deposition in the Grand Canyon" by Steven A. Austin, Ph.D. via DVD
Strata of Grand Canyon document the inside story of the history of the ground beneath our feet. Strata, fossils, faults, erosion, and volcanoes reveal the catastrophic Flood of Noah's day at Grand Canyon. Evidence from Mount St. Helens provides a modern laboratory confirming the obvious conclusions drawn from the evidence at Grand Canyon.

The Nature and Origin of Information in Nature by Kevin Anderson
It has been said, if you could put a million monkeys with typewriters in a room, over time, one of the monkeys could type out Shakespeare's Macbeth. On the surface, this seems logical until you examine the true nature of information, as it relates to the development of life. After all, information needed to operate a biological machine, even as simple as a one cell organism, needs to be relevant to the machine in its environment at the time it needs it. Can changing the information through random-chance errors result in information more complex and more relevant? As we will see, the nature of information shows that any error puts a "monkey wrench" in the works.

Mathematics in Nature and the Nature of Mathematics - Part I    by Bob Farwell
        It is often claimed that mathematics is the one subject which cannot be taught from a distinctly Biblical perspective.  Bob does not agree and has been violating that claim for quite a few years.  Like other aspects of science, in Math, we typically find that God was using higher mathematical principles before man was even on the scene to pretend that he had invented mathematics. 

The Relevance of Creation  by Tom Willis
It behooves us to occasionally review why we are in this ministry.  There are some who feel that our view of Biblical history is wrong, and some who feel it is irrelevant.  This talk focuses on the overwhelming evidence that origins are foundational to all Christian doctrines.  We typically discuss Biblical history in "History of the World" talks, so that is not the thrust of this talk.  Tom recently completed converting, rewriting and updating his various "relevance" talks to Powerpoint, and has given a few of the new talks.  Now he will share a fresh look at an important issue with a CSA audience for your consideration.

Thousands of geese and ducks, hundreds of deer and bald eagles, hiking, fossil hunt, Loess soil and fascinating seminars on Geology and God's Marvels, including migration.
