December 7 - Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge Safari Eagle Days

Several Creation Safaris are returning again this year. We will not be having the usual spring safari to Ha Ha Tonka. Watch for it in the fall. We will not be having the Camp Genesis safari, because we are bringing back the Greater Kansas City Fossil Hunt and will repeat the safari to the Safari Zoological Park in Caney, KS (see below for more details). We are modifying our first safari to SE KS for a return visit to Joplin Mineral Museum. A new safari last year, a photo safari to learn how to appreciate and photograph God’s wonderful creation, was successful, so we will try it again.

Not Scheduled for 2013

Rock Bridge / Connor’s Cave Safari

This is a day trip to Rock Bridge Memorial State Park for a walk though karst topography. We see many karst features such as a rock bridge, a spring, sink holes, and a cave window. We will explore the unlit and wild Connor’s Cave. It is not very deep but you get far enough in to get past the twilight zone.

Not Scheduled for 2013 

Safari Zoological Park Caney KS

There are zoos that are closer, but you have to deal with the crowds, and the animals are difficult to see. This zoological park may have a limited selection but you get a guided tour and the animals come up close so you can see them. Lions, tigers and bears oh my, plus leopards, baboons, lemurs, macaques, an alligator, and more. Our tour will have  a creation perspective of the awesome diversity of God’s creation. We will also try to throw in some fossil, and maybe some mineral hunting while on the way down.

Not Scheduled for 2013

KATY Bike Trail Safari

Come ride along with us on the KATY bike trail. It’s on an old railway grade between the bluffs and the Missouri river, so it is suitable for the whole family. You can bring your own bikes or rent them at the trail head.

Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge 

Eagle Days Safari

Saturday

Depending on the weather, we’ll see 400,000 snow geese and 124 bald eagles, along with ducks, herons, and trumpeter swans. A bird lover's paradise, although it can get quite cold, it is well worth bundling up for. We fossil hunt on the way and discuss the ice age loess soil. We also discuss migration patterns and the dinosaur-to-bird evolution story.

The Star of Bethlehem, DVD

Presented by Bob Farwell

For centuries, skeptics and seekers alike have pondered the star of Bethlehem. The Bible describes unusual or even impossible astronomical events at Christ's birth. Was it a miracle or mere myth? This compelling DVD - from producer Stephen McEveety ("The Passion of the Christ") - examines Scripture, ancient writings, indisputable astronomical facts and more. Learn nine specific features of the star recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, how it established a date for Jesus' birth and death . . . and its significance for you today!

November Monthly Meeting

Tuesday November 5th, 2013

Karst, Missouri Caves, and Mineral Placement

by Bob Farwell, Douglas Roger Dexheimer, and Kevin Anderson

Many types of topography are commonly associated with the term karst. The word itself comes from the Adriatic coastal region of Slovenia where this specific type of landform is featured prominently in the landscape. Karst is considered to be any terrain based on a layer of soluble bedrock, usually (though not always) of carbonate rocks. In the American Midwest, karst is mostly found on a base of limestones (calcium carbonate) and dolomites (magnesium calcium carbonate.)  This aspect of karst will be the subject of Bob Farwell’s presentation.

The karst observed in the Missouri Ozarks is considered to be of a near-textbook type.  It is characterized by well-eroded rolling hills, deep hollows, springs, caves, sinkholes, “losing streams,” natural bridges, and tunnels. Established science tells us that Karst forms when rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and dead plant debris in the soil, which then percolates down through cracks in the rock, dissolving the rock.  Some creationists, however, believe that karst formations are the result of sulfuric acid welling up from below, instead of carbonic acid percolating down from above. Some areas of the American West contain karst features that appear to have been formed by a mixture of both processes.

The major difference between the above “old-earth” view, and the creationist’s view, is the time required to form the structures.  Many creationists do NOT believe that the process was slow, occurring over eons of time.  We believe, instead, that a major portion of the processes occurred at the time of Noah's Flood, when “the fountains of the deep BURST FORTH,” as recorded in Genesis 7.  This process will be explored by Kevin Anderson in his presentation.

Metallic ores are generally found in igneous rocks, such as those found in northern Minnesota, the Rocky Mountains, and the volcanic region of southeast Missouri.  Mineral placement in some sedimentary rock in the Midwest is different, however.  We believe that such minerals were deposited in newly-laid sedimentary rock during, and shortly after Noah's Flood.  The metallic ores found in sedimentary rock resulted from the action of geothermal hot springs.  Douglas Roger Dexheimer’s presentation will address this proposed process.

“The Great Debate” DVD Part III

Ken Ham, AiG president, is perhaps the most widely recognized creation-apologist in the world today. Ken Ham and AiG astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle engage Drs. Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe) and Walt Kaiser (president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary), both of whom are proponents of an old earth, no-global-flood view of Bible interpretation. In this eye-opening debate, well-mannered disagreement is punctuated by intriguing confrontations as these four Christian leaders communicate their views. Ham and Lisle implore Ross and Kaiser to accept the Genesis account of history as written, while Ross and Kaiser argue for their view that the first chapters of Genesis are more symbolism than history.

“Origin of Life”

by Kevin Anderson

In Darwin's day, it was thought that living cells were simple, making it easier to imagine that cells were built up through long, slow, gradual, natural processes. Today, as we are able to delve further into the details of even the simplest of living cells, we are finding that they are not simple at all, but extremely complex, with many “all-or-nothing” systems that characterize cellular functions and cannot be the result of such gradualism. A half-developed system, which is needed for cellular function, would do a cell no good at all along its evolutionary development and this defies a naturalistic origin. We will also discuss the nature of the information stored in the structure of the DNA molecule, as well as the obviously divine "Sender" of that information.

Vestiges and Recapitulation

Did God Mess Up?

by Bob Farwell

>Public school textbooks use the notions of vestigial organs, and recapitulation, as evidences for evolution.  Supposedly by around 1900, researchers had compiled a list of vestigial organs totaling about 180, and this was considered one of the strongest arguments in support of evolution for well over a century.  Among these supposedly “useless/functionless” organs were: the vermiform appendix, ear muscles, tonsils and adenoids, the pineal gland, the coccyx (“tailbone?”), the thymus gland, and the nictitating membrane of the eyes.  However, medical research has since discovered that each of these organs does indeed have some function during the life of a human.  True science once again trumps evolution -- “the fairy tale for grownups”!

Western Kansas Safari

May 25 - 27

Saturday - Monday

A three day Memorial Day weekend trip will start in the grand canyon of KS in Manhattan, and then proceed to central KS to fence post rock country for a visit to an ash fall site, and clam fossil sites. The next two days we will explore the Niobrara chalk country for clams, sharks' teeth, fish fossils, and maybe a mosasuar. The chalk monuments are also very pretty, and make for some stunning photos.

The Scientific and Logical Real Proofs of Creation
VS
The Scientifically Shallow,

Unsound "Proofs of Evolution"
Part II

by Tom Willis

It cannot be overstated that the textbook proofs of evolution  presented in high school and college classrooms and textbooks are all contrary to real scientific knowledge and experiments. Thus,  all such proofs are not science, but anti-science.  There is no real scientific evidence which favors, much less proves, evolution.  Among  other things, this presentation will show that all textbook, classroom,  and TV "proofs of evolution" are false.

Conversely, real scientific evidence clearly and, as close as "science"  can come to real proof, manifestly supports and/or proves that ALL matter, ALL life, and ALL of the specific "kinds" of life (typically, but wrongly referred to as "species"), were created by a non-material, supremely intelligent, living,  powerful agent that we humans refer to as "God."

Dinosaurs and Creation Science

March 29

by Tom Willis

Come and hear about God's amazing creation, do a dinosaur art project, and get close to some awesome friendly reptiles including a boa constrictor, a corn snake, a ball python, a milk snake, a Kenyan sand boa, a leopard gecko, a blue-tongued skink, 2 Russian tortoises, and a bearded dragon. Come and hear about God's amazing creation, do a dinosaur art project, and get close to some awesome reptiles! Come to the Berry Patch on March 29 at 10:00 for a presentation on Dinosaurs by Tom Willis, a dinosaur art lesson, and most importantly "Adam's Animals." "Adam's Animals" is a wonderful presentation about God's creation, with live snakes, lizards, and turtles. Kids will love it. This is appropriate for all ages. A $10 donation is suggested. We are also having a reptile cake competition, with a basket of art materials as the prize. This all takes place at the Berry Patch.

Yes, you can purchase frozen blueberries! Bring a covered dish!

“Noah’s Ark – A Feasibility Study:”

Presented by Kevin Anderson

The credibility of the account of Noah’s ark has been attacked since antiquity and there are many false impressions still being used to discredit the Bible. When we examine the scriptures and use a little common sense, we find that many of these misconceptions can be dispelled. Studies done on the stability and seaworthiness of a ship with the biblical proportions of the ark have demonstrated that they are ideal, and are used in modern shipbuilding. We will also discuss the storage capacity and the workload needed to take care of the animals during the year-long ordeal of the flood as described by John Woodmorappe in his book, "Noah’s Ark – A Feasibility Study."

February CSA Monthly Meeting

Seeds- The Journey of Life

“Witness a fantastic voyage through floods, fire, and storms. A valiant struggle against impossible odds. All performed by a perfectly ordinary, yet truly remarkable creation: the simple seed. But Journey of Life is more than a fascinating look at God's design for growing plants. It's also a wonderful picture of the most important voyage of all, the journey of the living seed of God's Word, taking root in human hearts. This highly acclaimed video urges us to examine our lives. And to look beyond present struggles to the promise of eternal life.”

Already Compromised - Part III

by Ken Ham

In Part 3, Ken looks at the need for Creation-based evangelism in the light of deep-rooted compromise that permeates so many of today's Christian churches and colleges.  Example:  A recent visitor in my home by a college student he expressed surprise that virtually every student in his college biology class loudly proclaimed the truth of evolution, but none could give a coherent defense of evolution. 

Christians need to understand and commit to their biblical creation worldview.  They need to fully comprehend the full Gospel message of the Bible and how to present it to a "Greek" world (Acts 17).  A must-see presentation for those who desire to "sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that in you, with meekness and fear." (1 Peter 3:15)

"Already Compromised" Part II

by Ken Ham

Review of the results of the 2010 study by America's Research Group, which includes 312 presidents, vice-presidents and chairs of theology and science departments of 200 Christian colleges and universities in America.  The Survey results clearly show the astounding compromise of the authority of Scripture, especially Genesis 1 - 11 by these "Christian leaders".  Common among these "Christian Leaders" is "Newspeak," word-twisting, truth-skewing dialog where we need to ask what they really mean. 

The presentation also covers important topics like age of the earth, sin & death, and man's word versus God's Word to point out the senselessness of such compromise.  In all, Part 2 is a thought-provoking analysis of what is really happening in "Christian" America.

We picnic at South Park on Massachusetts Ave. Then we tour "Evolution's Cathedral," the KU Natural History Museum. We tour the palentology floor with a biblical worldview and discuss the Exploring Evolution exhibt.

Mitochondrial EVE

and

the 3 "Daughters" of Noah DVD

by Robert Carter of CMI

Introduction by Douglas Roger Dexheimer

The topic this coming month is Human DNA, and how if tells the history of man's movements. Human genetic data fits the Bible better than evolution. The Bible records three historical biblical “main events” that would have left an indelible mark on our genetic makeup: Creation, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel. Exciting research in modern genetics actually underlines the reality of these events, if you expect to find the evidence and go looking for it (but you have to know where to look!).

CSA Monthly Meeting Topic

January 3rd 2012

The Beauty of Creation

Douglas R Dexheimer

BSME  Illinois Institute of Technology, CSA Safari Leader

View the Beauty of Creation thru the eyes of an Engineer.  Examine the common theme used by the Creator in Plants, Animals, and celestial bodies.  Take a brief look at some of the beautiful things that man has devised based on that pattern, in architecture, arts, and music.

Yellowstone National Park Safari:

July 23 - 28, 2011

Saturday - Thursday

This is a six day Safari visiting the most famous sites at Yellowstone National Park. The Safari will be conducted by Ed Johlman. Formerly with CSA, Ed's career moved him west where he introduced Creation Safaris to Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship. His career moved Ed further west, but, then Yellowstone is also further West, so Ed is leading this Safari.

Like CSA Safaris, it is important to sign up and get detailed safari information. This Safari information is available in an 8-page brochure on the Yellowstone Safari only. The Safari and brochure are now on the main page of their website (http://www.youngearth.org/)

It is a long trip, but might well be a very meaningful family vacation outing. I suggest you get the Yellowstone Safari "Brochure", and sign up when you can. The sign-up sheet if a part of the brochure. If you have questions not answered in the brochure Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship has a "contact" link on their main page.

The Mystery of Our Declining Genes" DVD

by Dr. John Sanford

In his widely read book, Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome, Dr. Sanford demonstrated why and how human DNA is inexorably deteriorating at an alarming rate and therefore cannot be millions of years old. In this newer work, Dr. Sanford traces the history of human genetic decline due to mutations in our DNA.  The evidence is startling to those who don't believe the Genesis account of Creation because it refutes conventional dates for alleged human evolution, providing powerful evidence for the Bible's short timescale for human history.

Dr. John Sanford, a former Cornell University professor, is well known in genetic engineering circles as the inventor of the Gene Gun.

Union Station Dinosaurs

by Bob Farwell

The World engages in a number of peculiar, often laughable practices.  As bad as many are, none is more absurd than the uniform practice of agreeing, and sticking to the agreement of declaring that...

• All Dinosaurs Were Extinct About 65 Million Years Ago
• A Living Person Never Saw a Dinosaur - A Living Dinosaur Never Saw a Person

• Artwork throughout Human History accurately depicting dinosaurs
• Extremely well preserved dinosaur fossils & trackways that would have had to survive 65 million or more years with no geologic event to disturb them.  With just the number of events in recorded human history (~6000 years), it is impossible to conceive how such beautifully preserved remains could survive even a million years (Note: Biblical history requires only that dinosaur fossils survive less than a few thousand years, when last seen, and Human records of history requires fossils survive less than 2000 years.

Bob will review these ideas and more, as well as show you more of the World's brilliant scholarship from Kansas City's Union Station.

Information, DNA and Genomes,

by Kevin Anderson

The KU Natural History Museum presents that human and chimp DNA are 99% similar and many other sources say that its anywhere from 96% to 98% similarity. What does this mean? How did they make this comparison? It turns out that it is not as simple, as it  is often made out to be. Kevin will discuss how the nature of information sheds light on this comparison and how presuppositions can get in the way of the truth.

The Nature of Energy

by Dave Penny

Energy, the non-matter component of the Universe, has baffled natural philosophers to define. Modern theories of relativity and quantum physics have made our understanding of matter even more elusive.Niels Bohr, the godfather of quantum physics, ascertained that energy and matter cannot exist unless there is a mind to perceive them.  The creation and eschatology of the energy and matter by God in the Scriptures give us profound insights into the origin and nature of energy. Energy animates matter and reveals God’s glory in the material universe. A Godless naturalistic science has no clue to the origin, nature, or destiny of energy in the Universe.

The Nature of Matter

by Dave Penny

The Nature of Matter has been difficult to define, especially by the secular philosophers and scientists. Lucretius, a Greek atheist, proposed that all matter is composed of indivisible eternal atoms. Newton, as a creationist, defined it as a quantity of mass in his laws of motion and gravitation. In modern physics based on naturalism, matter varies in quantity and dimensions with time, space, velocity, energy, and frame of reference. Also, naturalism has no explanation for the origin or order in matter. Since the creation, God has given man a much more rational understanding of the origin, nature, and order of matter than has naturalism.

The Ice Age - Only the Bible Explains It DVD

By Meteorologist Michael Oard

How many ice ages have there been in Earth's history? When was the last one? How does an ice age start? How did the global Flood of Noah's day contribute to the Ice Age? These and many other questions are addressed in this enlightening DVD.  Meteorologist Michael Oard examines the physical evidence , scrutinizes secular theories, and shows that only the Bible sufficiently explains the mechanism to produce and sustain the Ice Age.

Youth Exodus from the Church

The Fix Ought to be Based on The Reason

DVD

This subject is so important that the lead article last month and the May meeting will focus on it. Surveys have been taken and books have been written, but we are not convinced of their validity, e.g., we are not convinced that surveyed youth even know or can/will admit why they lleft. Our position is that there are two main reasons they leave. Both can be addressed (perhaps not completely solved) by the Church, but only after the Church agrees that they are the reasons, and then, only by Churches led by true believers.

Inherently Wind

A Hollywood History of the Scopes Trial

DVD

The Hollywood movie “Inherit The Wind,” willfully painted a patently false history of the most famous trial in history. Millions of Americans were deceived into believing that Clarence Darrow and evolutionism brilliantly trumped the creationism and the ignorance William Jennings Bryan. While few would choose Bryan, the facts are that Bryan not only won the verdict, but Darrow lost the debate. The God haters spent 50 years portraying the opposite of what actually happened. Dr. David Menton, PhD in cell biology, using his methodological style, opens your eyes to a totally different story.

by Douglas Roger Dexheimer

Why are some rocks hard, and others, made largely from the same materials, very soft? Consider only Limestone and Kansas Chalk (or the “White Cliffs of Dover”) I had never thought the subject might be interesting until Doug began to reflect on it, and to dig into the data. I now think the answer is not as complex as you might suspect, and Doug has convinced many that it is another solid (pun intended) evidence for the Flood of Genesis rather than millions of years of slow deposition.

The Worldview That Evolutionism Built

A Ghastly Life Perspective

As Devastating As Any in the History of the World

By: David Penny &Tom Willis

The Communists, Nazis, Aztecs, Mayans all held ghastly world views and their practices were beyond comprehension. We correctly find their views and practices abhorrent, but their beliefs and practices do not exceed what is rapidly becoming commonplace in the world today! Abortion, Homosexuality, Socialism, Global Warming, the return of Eugenics (testing, tailoring and patented genes), and euthanasia. All these are receiving global defense and even acclaim far beyond anything in the past except perhaps under Communism and Nazism. Why? We believe, as under Communism and Nazism, these beliefs and practices (today) all derive their intellectual and moral support from Evolutionism.

Egyptology VS the Bible - Part III

Efforts to Find Biblical Patriarchs

in Secular Egyptian History

by Mary Jefferson

Third of a three part series on the history of Egypt as told by the World versus the history presented in the Bible. Worldly scholars are, of course, delighted with their inability to find Biblical patriarchs in their Egyptian history. Our interest, however, is in truth. Therefore, we are more interested in which story is true, than we are in what delights us. What we learn is the secular notion that Egyptian history is known and true, while Biblical history is myth, is itself a myth. Essentially, Egyptian History is not cast in stone, but based on bits and pieces of evidence. Egyptian history begins to match Biblical History much better if you simply reject a couple of popular, but quite tenuous, ties between Egyptian History and the Bible. Having made that call, the histories begin to fit, though both histories may be incomplete.

An interesting feature in this session, which should cause you to think, is that the world seems to take as fact any history but the Bible's, when everyone knows that each king, of virtually every culture, worked to shape history to fit what he wanted to be "his story."  Two things should become obvious: the paucity of data upon which secular histories are erected, and "historical sciences" are not science, but purposeful myths.

Egyptology versus the Bible - Part I:

History of Egypt as Told by the World

By Mary Jefferson

First of a three-part series on Egyptian history as told by the world versus the Bible.  Recall that there are many references to Egypt and its leaders in the Bible, and several key Biblical leaders visited and/or lived in Egypt.  This series will present a case that the popular views of Egyptian history are seriously flawed while the Biblical history is correct.

This history, of course, will not conform to Biblical history, which tends to delight its advocates.  Hopefully you will see that this is incorrect on the merits of its own data, without even resorting to Biblical data.

Part II is described under the event CSA Monthly Meeting for April, 2009.  Part III, in May, will present an Egyptian Chronology which the speaker feels is closer to true history than the ones popular among "Egyptian scholars."  Obviously, it will conform much more closely with the Bible.

Does Our Knowledge of Physics

Lead to God or Naturalism? Part II

By: Dave Penny

The nature and origin of matter and energy are explored, posing a serious problem for naturalism as science. The ordered matter and energy of the Universe and Life is a second fatal problem for naturalism because of the laws of science. Other mantras of modern science, based on naturalism, will be explored such as relativity, quantum physics, evolution, light, and cosmology in the light of the laws of science and Scripture. The reason naturalism has no scientific explanation for the existence and order of matter and energy found in the cosmos and life is because naturalism is Godless.

Does Our Knowledge of Physics

Lead to God or Naturalism? Part I

By: Dave Penny

Modern science was formulated and dominated by Creationists. Since Hegel introduced his triad (thesis, antithesis and synthesis dialectic without any objective absolutes) in the early 1800's, atheistic naturalism (denial of any supernaturalism) began systematically displacing creationism in every realm of science. Today, science is dominated by naturalism in every discipline. This straitjacket of naturalism has undermined most of the foundations of science, especially in the questions of origins of matter, energy and order whether in the cosmos or life. The conflict between creationism and naturalism affects the very essence of true science.

Darwinian Roots of Racism

by Bob Farwell

Racism before Darwin was generally unrelated to the features discussed today, like skin color.  Rather it tended to be related to national rivalries, etc.  Post Darwin, things changed.  If evolution is true, then the notion of difference in human people groups seems virtually certain.  Various studes, e.g., of genetic Punnett Squares, show that mutations and natural selection are not resulting in increased information.  Therefore, the notion of racial superiority due to evolution is nonsense, because evolution is nonsense.  There are, always have been, and will be, individuals and groups manifesting superiority in some ways.  This may be due to lifestyle or genetics, but does not mean evolution is true.

The Origin of Caves & Cave Formations

Millions or Hundreds of Years?

by Tom Willis

Every sign (about cave age), posted in or near a cave by the US Government (or a state), makes the blunt assertion that the cave required some enormous emount of time to form.  But, laboratory and field observations, and sound reasoning all demonstrate that, in the right conditions, every cave could have formed in a few hundred years.  If it truly took millions of years, no one was there to observe it, or observe the conditions.  What conditions are required, and does the evidence indicate they were present to form all these caves quickly?  The evidence, in many cases, is right in the caves.  The reason it is missing today from some caves is also clear.  It is our position that there is no sound reason to think it took much time to form any of the caves on planet Earth.

Hydrothermal Mineral Deposition?

By: Douglas Roger Dexheimer

The minerals man retrieves in mining operations are essential to our existence. Why are they so conveniently located? The conventional model of Geology is extremely weak on how this happened, but a believing look at Biblical History, coupled with thoughtful reflection, and little more than High School Chemistry, yields a clear model of how and when all the minerals were put in place for Man's easy discovery and extraction. Once Doug explains it, you will wonder why conventional Geology missed it for so long. We suggest that, like a billion nautiloid fossils in the most studied limestone in the world, this was missed simply because their model of geology rejects Biblical history. Doug became interested in this subject during a Geology Honors project on a related, but different, topic. The Lord willing, soon Doug will report on that project as well.

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.

Reality

vs

Theories of Relativity Science or Philosophy?

Part II

by: David Penny, BS Physics

The key postulates of and conclusions derived from, special and general relativity are examined in the light of experimental evidence and observed phenomena in space. Relativity is shown to be contrary to reality, untrue, poor science. Einstein's theories of Relativity are shown to actually be philosophical Relativism. They became popular and Einstein idolized because atheists like Bernard Shaw, in the early 1900's, recoginzed they supported the Hegelian view that there are no absolutes, claiming that motion, time and space are all relative to observers. A true scientific view of matter, time and space supports the Biblical view of creation, that the universe exists since day 6, and operates consistently on fixed laws... absolutes. If we were to pick a winner, Mach's Principle, where all the matter of the Universe serves as a  universal frame of reference, is closer to the truth than current theories of relativity.

The author feels the theories of light transmission, general and special Relativity have no conclusive proofs and several clearly falsifying experiments and observations. The whole jumbled enchilada is falsely used as proof there is no God, but, in Part II, we learn that better science presents some amazing evidence for the Biblical view of Cosmos History.

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.

Inherently Wind

DVD By: David Menton, PhD

David Menton holds a Ph.D. in cell biology, and is professor emeritus at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. “Inherit the Wind” was a play and movie shown to virtually every public school child in the US. The movie was typically shown as a joint presentation of the English and Science Departments. Many drama departments chose it for school plays. Purporting to be a documentary, it is a colossal series of lies designed to attack Christianity, from the first musical note to the closing curtain. A liberal New York columnist who was present at the trial, found the play so full of lies he walked out.Dr. Menton studied the trial transcript and the play, and produced this video, “Inherently Wind.” We are showing it now because it is a very important history study of the roles of government, “Education” and media in destroying the foundation of our country. Recently, the socialist Public Broadcasting System, hugely funded by tax dollars, produced an equally rank distortion of a more recent trial in Dover, Pa. “NOVA: Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial.”

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.

Or

"Creation as Fact and Theory"

The incessant, dogmatic mantra of the religious and scientific left is “Evolution is science, creation is religion.”  The converse is much closer to the truth.  By first carefully analyzing the history, nature, and philosophy of science we find that Creation can easily be stated as scientific propositions and shown to be “a fact of Science.”  Conversely, evolution is never stated as a true scientific proposition.  And it dare not be, for it is immediately recognized as falsified... countless times.  Equally interesting is that a refresher on the true nature of science will shed considerable light on other current topics, e.g., is there global warming? Can you be born homosexual or Transsexual?   Etc.

Geological Evidence of Catastrophism

By: Kevin Anderson

Brachiopods with preserved body parts, closed clams, tight rock folds, polystrate fern & tree fossils, clastic dikes, coal layers with no evidence of root fossils or erosion between them, fossilized internal organs in composita, clams in the dry pond of Kevin’s Mom, all in various degrees of open, filled with mud... all strong evidence for at least one global, water catastrophe. Looking at all this evidence, can we interpret it better through Biblical glasses? Reflecting on the real meaning of the irrational bias against major catastrophes in Earth history, with the Bible and so much other evidence against it, why or how did we get into the Old Earth Geology belief system?

The 11 Great Proofs of Evolution - Part II

By: Tom Willis, BS, MA

In Part II we will wrap up the 11 Great Proofs with the Proofs from: Ranking, Vestigial Organs, Embryonic Recapitulation, Imaginative Evidence Production (which is ubiquitous), Outright Fraud, and Sub optimality (or Gould’s Delite). Again you will find it obvious that these proofs are Magic, not science. (See description of Great Proofs - I, Mar 6, 2007 CSA meeting.)

The 11 Great Proofs of Evolution - Part I

By: Tom Willis, BS, MA

From Darwin to Museums, to high school and college texts, these 11 Proofs of Evolution, when any proofs are given, are virtually always parroted. They are typically presented far less competently than we will, yet always accompanied by the claim that they transform evolution from "theory" [it is not] to fact [the claim is a joke]. This month we will cover the Proofs from: Change, Natural Selection, Adaptation, the Fossil Record and Rocks, and Homology.

We intend to, rather easily, show that these proofs are all Magic, not one is science. Magic is the skilled art of creating an illusion that the audience has seen evidence which demonstrates that a myth is true (Examples:  1. "I will saw the woman in two,"   2.  "Millions of years ago fish turned into lizards.".  Practitioners of the first admit they are doing magic, and that the "proof" is a trick.  Practioners of the latter claim to be doing science, but, like the first, they are also doing magic, and the "proof" is a trick.)

Dinosaurs & Feathered Dinosaurs - II

By: Tom Willis, BS, MA

In Part II we will wrap up the four classes of evidence that man undoubtedly coexisted with dinosaurs, a very short time ago, and we will close by presenting a reasonably thorough refutation of the equally absurd claim that "When you see a goose fly by, you are seeing a T-Rex." The reason I say "reasonably thorough" is that, if someone claims Andromeda is made of glowing green cheese, it may be difficult for man, who will never go there, to prove otherwise. But, one can analyze the evidence and logic used to support the claim... If there is any..

Dinosaurs & Feathered Dinosaurs - I

By: Tom Willis, BS, MA

In every museum, all mainstream media, nearly all textbooks, simply everywhere you look, we are indoctrinated that a living man never saw a living dinosaur, that dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago, and one reason they went extinct is that they evolved into birds (though this last claim is resisted by a minority of the unbelief coalition. They believe dinosaurs evolved from another source). In these two talks we will examine four types of evidence that refute the extinction claims, their dates of extinction, and their claims that men never coexisted with dinosaurs.

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.

Naturalism and Court Decisions

By David Penny

Since the 1940's, Supreme Court decisions on the nature of science have been established precedents that exclude supernaturalism (God, prayer, miracles, religious holidays, creationism, etc.) from public supported education or governmental affairs. On the surface this is based on a "wall of separation between church and state" from a letter by Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist group. Purportedly, the Constitutional prohibition against governmental establishment of religion in the first amendment of the US Constitution prohibits state moneys from supporting religious ideas in schools. The Court changed the assumption subtly to a "wall of separation between the state and supernaturalism." "Naturalism is scientific, supernaturalism is religious." One fallacy of this assumption is that from the basic laws of science, the origin of matter and energy (the sum total of the Universe) and the order of matter and energy in the Universe, require a supernatural creation and supernatural creator. Naturalism, the basis of the Court decisions, is antiscientific concerning the very existence and nature of the Universe.

Dave Penny is a physics graduate of MIT, an inventor and was a member of the US Space Team.

The Privileged Planet
The Search for Purpose in the Universe

Video by Illustra Media

Since Copernicus, atheists, and many others, have contrived to paint a picture of Earth as a "Pale Blue Dot" (Carl Sagan), insignificant in our galzxie, even less significant in the Cosmos. They have also struggled to present a confidence that life would be found everywhere. As usual, the blind faith of atheism is shown to be unwarrented by the facts.

The Bering Straight Theory Reconsidered

by Lynn Lemons

Like evolution, the "Bering Straight Theory" of how Indians got to N. America is virtually a secular dogma. Dissenters are treated as heretics, and often punished. Why? What is the evidence for this theory... for alternate theories? Ironically, new research and a new book by a Christian, Creationist sheds very important new light on the whole squabble.

The Genesis Flood

Religious Myth or Historical Fact?

by Ken Carlson

Discussion of the geologic history of the world is virtually always influenced by the religion of the speaker. What I have observed is that opponents of a global flood claim the flood view is "just religion" but expend far more time and energy discussing religion than proponents of the flood. The reason? Explaining the physical evidence demands a global flood essentially like that described in Scripture. Opponents of Scripture must engage in name-calling to divert attention from the lack of evidence for their floodless or local-flood position.

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 II

by Bob Farwell

It is often claimed that mathematics is the one subject that cannot be taught from a distinctly Biblical perspective. Having taught math, Bob does not agree and has violated that claim for years. There is so much material on this subject, and it is so new to so many, that Bob felt it could not be covered in one meeting.

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.

A "Fresh" Ancient Approach

to Genesis 1 & 2

by Curt Wagner, PhD Theoretical Physics

We will show that claims of contradictions and 'unscientific' statements in Genesis 1 & 2 (e.g. in the myth of the 'two creation stories' and the puzzle of the 'firmament') disappear when we study the Hebrew texts instead of the English translations. In so doing, we will uncover the amazing cosmogony and cosmology which Moses knew and recorded almost 3400 years before Einstein, Hubble and scientists rediscovered them!
