Information in Nature -
Where did it come from?
Probability theory teaches information will not arise by chance. Empirically,
information has never been observed to arise by any process other than creation.
Information requires a person or system to interpret it. Probability analysis
shows no hope for such a system arising naturally. Empirically, no such
interpretive system has ever been observed to arise in nature. Every such
system, and there are many, either required acts of Creation, or already
existed (that is, was a human being, that many pretend evolved from "nature").

Ken Carlson |
Of This They Are Willfully
Ignorant - 1 Peter 3: Global, Infallible Evidence for the Genesis
Flood.
Ken's slides clearly falsify the notions of organic sediments in swamps
as well as the idea that fossils and rock seams are the result of slow deposition.
|
|
The Eruption of Mount St.
Helens
Life-sized Lab in Rapid Formation of Sediment Layers, Canyons and Even Coal.
Ken's expertise as an international fuels consultant, artifacts gathered
from around the world, and research slides and data from several sources
make this presentation virtually infallible proof that major geologic formations
not only occurred rapidly, but could not have occurred slowly.
|
|
Global Coal Deposits as Evidence
for the Genesis Flood
Ken is a global fuels consultant who has visited coal mines and many other
fossil sites all over the world and recently authored the chapter on fossil
fuels for a major new textbook. For some 15 years he has accumulated data,
artifacts and pictures that tell a dramatically different story about coal
than other textbooks.
|
|
The Genesis Flood - Religious
Myth or Historical Fact?
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 their
floodless or local-flood position.
|
Bob Farwell |
Dinosaurs
Two of the great myths of modern science are that dinosaurs lived 65 millions
years ago and their (largely) extinct life status is some sort of great
mystery. Using humor, science, history, and the communication skills of
a good teacher, Bob deals with these myths very effectively.
|
|
Geologic and Fossil Evidence
for the Genesis Flood
Virtually every fossil you find is evidence for the Genesis Flood. Why?
Well, for one reason, we never find fossils forming today like we find already
formed. Bob has been an avid fossil collector from his youth. His collection,
humor and message content make this an irresistible session.
|
|
Textbook Evidence for Evolution
Most Americans have been presented evolution in a classroom at least once.
Some seem to ignore or laugh at it. Others will insist that the evidence
for evolution is overwhelming. Those of us in this ministry have encountered
many of the latter, but have observed a universal pattern: when pressed
for examples, their memory always seems to fail them. A professional teacher,
Bob has 15 biology textbooks of his own. Why don't you sit quietly just
once and analyze with him the real nature of these "great proofs"
of evolution?
|
|
Ape Men - Science or Myth
Since around 1860, a very few folks have "earned" their living
by finding pieces of dead apes and declaring them to be human ancestors...and
pieces of dead humans and declaring them "primitive" (and other
very scientific titles). Interestingly, many folks have opinions on the
truth of these various claims, but few have really examined the evidence,
much less the "reasoning process" applied to the evidence. Bob
does it with thoroughness, style and humor. An entertaining and very educational
session. Ages 10 and up.
|
|
Relevance of Creation
Bob used to teach evolution and even pyramid power in his science classes.
When he repented of that and began to teach the truth, he was threatened
with dismissal. He was told to think over his alternatives, but before giving
an answer, was transferred from science to math. He now has empirical as
well as Biblical information to share on "The Relevance of Creation."
|
|
Age of the Earth -
Evidence for a Young Earth
Charles Darwin often admitted in print that it was "evidence"
for an old Earth that had primarily caused him to discard his Bible.This
is one of several sessions we do to help rectify this false notion.
|
|
They Are Without Excuse... - The Marvels of Nature
"For the invisible
things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that
they are without excuse." (Romans 1:20). This Biblical passage clearly
states that natural science proves the existence of God, and that every
person knows it, without any training in science. How can that be? Listen
and look while Bob gives you a tour of the animal kingdom.
|
|
Mysteries of Ancient Civilizations
The more we learn about ancient man, the more technology we find he had.
Is it really possible for an evolutionist to explain such high technology
by the earliest men?
|
|
The Wonders of Nature
In Romans 1:20 we learn God's position on whether creation is science: "For
since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power
and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made, so that men are without excuse." Here we see that God insists
the evidence is so overwhelming that man has no excuse for failing to acknowledge
that the "natural world" was created by Him. To what is God referring?
Bob has quite an assortment of pictures and information from God's creation
from which you can get a pretty good idea.
|
|
The Fossil Record - What
Does it Really Tell Us?
Since evolutionism has no success in the laboratory or in the field, they
have always depended heavily on stories about the meaning of fossils as
their primary apologetic argument. For nearly 200 years, they have told
stories, and claimed their stories were “science,” but do they
really stand up under scrutiny? Your first clue should be that “science”
does not consist of stories about what may have happened in the distant
past. Science is supposedly about postulates describing the current operating
characteristics of the Cosmos, each of which must experience 100% experimental
success. Evolution experiences 100% experimental failure.
|
|
Mathematics in Nature and
the Nature of Mathematics
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 frequently find that God was using the principles before man
was even on the scene to pretend he invented mathematics.
|
|
UFO's, ET's and the Bible
Claims of UFO sightings have occurred all over the world for many centuries.
Since the 1930's belief in extraterrestrial life has escalated dramatically.
A recent US Gallop Poll indicated 50% of adults believe intelligent life
exists on other worlds in the cosmos. Interestingly, Gallup also finds that
about 50% believe in evolution. Is there a connection? A small percent of
UFO phenomena seem to defy natural laws. Are they real? Where do they come
from? What is their purpose? How should people with a Biblical Creation
Worldview approach one of the great mysteries of all times? What insights
can we glean from God's Word concerning UFO phenomena? You may be surprised
to learn there are sound answers to these questions.
|
Mary Jefferson |
Egyptian History 101
The history of Egypt is of immense interest to God's enemies and his people,
simply because Israel and Egypt intersect so often. Typically, scholars
claim they cannot find support for Biblical history in the history of Egypt.
Mary has devoted much of her personal and academic life to the study of
Egypt. In this session, she will mostly review the history as taught by
unbelieving scholars.
|
|
Egyptian History and the
Bible - Three Reconciliation Theories
Mary admirably restrained herself in her first session as she outlined the
world's view of Egyptian history. She even let the audience draw it's own
conclusion, which should be, "As it is taught, the secular history
of Egypt cannot be reconciled with the Bible." With insight, one might
add, "That is why it is taught that way." References to Israel
in Egypt are almost non-existent, but there are hundreds of references to
Egypt in the Bible. Why? When was the Flood? When did Joseph go to Egypt?
When was the Exodus? In this lecture, Mary presents three "reconciliation"
theories. She does not consider them all equal.
|
Mark Matthews |
European Biological Thought in
the 1800's - Why Was Darwin Accepted?
Was real science in Europe truly converted to Evolvo Science? Was Darwin
accepted because he truly solved problems in biology? Or was he accepted
because he developed a "science" that society was eager to accept?
|
|
Horses, Moths and Finches -
Evolution or Creation?
The Bible teaches these are separately created kinds (Hebrew: min) of animals.
Evolutionism teaches these kinds are all derived from a common ancestor
by change and selection. In evolvothink diversity within kind, mutation,
and adaptation are all "proofs of evolution." However, these processes
are all consistent with the Biblical account of origins. How can we learn
to recognize these pseudo-proofs of evolution?
|
|
Radiometric Dating - Does
this clock work?
Many methods are used to date the earth, the vast majority of which indicate
that the earth is young. One family of methods, seems to indicate that the
earth is old -- "radiometric dating."
Before you base your life on the idea that these methods "refute"
the Bible, it would be wise to learn whether you can rely on them. We'll
look at the basics of radiometric dating leading us to an answer to the
question: "How good is this clock?" Mark has a degree in nuclear
engineering.
|
|
Bristlecone Pines - Are
They Really That Old?
Only after many years of acceptance of Peppered Moth experiments as true,
with only the conclusions debated, did someone question, and prove, that
Peppered Moths never light on tree trunks. Likewise, nearly everybody believes
there are 4000+ year old Bristlecone Pines. Not Mark Matthews, an environmental
engineer with a degree in Nuclear Engineering. He has devoted extensive
effort studying tree-growth research in general, and Bristlecone in particular.
He believes there are compelling reasons to suspect that the oldest Bristlecone
pine may be less than a thousand years old. Since many researchers use Bristlecone
Pine "ages" to calibrate Carbon Dating, the implications of his
theory are interesting and broad.
|
|
The Oklo "Natural Reactor - Evidence for Changing Atomic Constants
Mark's degree in Nuclear Engineering probably sparked his interest in the
fact that all published reports about the Oklo Uranium Mine agreed that,
at least once in history, part of the deposits behaved as a "natural
nuclear reactor." Cursory examination of the site led Mark to conclude
this was impossible. Further investigation fully convinced Mark the site
could not possibly support a chain nuclear reaction, unless "nuclear
constants" had changed over time. Then, the evidence at the site could
correctly support the idea of a "natural reactor." But, if nuclear
constants have changed, a minority theory, but one receiving more support
each year, then many "scientific dating methods, " including radiometric
dating and light from distant stars, are, even more clearly, invalid.
|
Mark McCalmon |
Creation Evangelism - Part
I - Developing an Apologetic Character
How would you answer someone who said that belief in the claims of Christianity
was equivalent to belief in a flat earth? What will the Church do when the
majority of the culture believes that way? If we as a people do not begin
to develop an "apologetic character" that is exactly where we
will end up.
Mark will present some of the reasons why Christianity is on its way to
becoming a "harmless delusion" if we do not learn to defend our
beliefs.
|
|
Creation Evangelism - Part
II - Practical Application
Mark and a panel share how they have been able to use the information they
have heard at CSA and gathered elsewhere about the creation/evolution issues
to train believers and to open conversations with nonbelievers.
|
Larry Rink |
Astronomy and Origins - An Update
Larry will review recent discoveries and claimed discoveries in the field
of astronomy and the claims and counterclaims regarding their impact on
origins theories.
|
|
The Heavens Declare the
Glory of God
The Bible says, "The Heavens Declare the Glory of God;" the science
texts and TV shows proclaim "The heavens declare the glory of evolution."
Where is the truth amid these claims?
|
|
History of the World as
Told By God
Almost everyone has an opinion about origins, but few really know, or understand
either of the two most prominently believed possibilities: 1. Biblical Creation
and 2. Evolution. If (1) is true, it is undoubtedly vital to every human
being to know what this God said and did. Conversely, if one has rejected,
or is considering rejection, of God's claimed role in history, it seems
equally vital to thoroughly understand the basis of that rejection, which,
for most, is purportedly the "Science of Evolution." Larry will
outline and contrast these two most popular versions of origins.
|
|
The Ice Age, Where
Does It Fit?
Many people are confused by "The Ice Age." Where does it fit?
How long was it? Was there more than one? The Bible and Science both show
that The Ice Age was a direct result of events during and after the Genesis
flood.
|
Tom Willis |
Why Are Redbirds Red?
A bright 6-year old gave the standard answer, "To help them get a mate?"
"Then, why are pheasants brown?" Same girl + many others, "To
help them hide?" "How do redbirds, bluebirds and crows hide?"
Silence. "Redbirds painted brown still mate properly" Silence.
"Why do animals migrate?" "To escape the cold?" "How
about salmon?" "To Spawn." "Sea turtle babies migrate
3000 miles horizontally to a place they've never been, do they escape the
cold?" Finally: "Because God made them that way?" Close,
but no cigar. Do you know the answers?
|
|
Science versus Truth
Few people realize that the leadership of the "scientific community"
has declared war on truth. They despise truth as much as they hate God.
But they don't really hate religion, because that is what science has become.
What is really going on? How did we get to where we are? Was there really
ever a "good" period in the history of science, or was Rushdooney
right (In The Mythology of Science)? Is there any hope for improvement?
|
|
What Is Science and How
Does It Relate To Discussions of Origins?
Many people do not want to spend any time on this topic...then they realize
it is foundational to the creation/evolution debate. In college it is called
"Philosophy of Science," in seminary, "Epistemology."
In either case, properly taught, it could be titled: "Science, Mythology,
and Faith - How Do You Tell Them Apart... and Are You Really Sure?"
|
|
The Origin of Life - The
Myth of Chemical Evolution
Every public school in the area has a chapter on "chemical evolution"
causing the origin of life. A child should be able to demonstrate the absurdity
of this claim.
|
|
The Origin of Kinds - The
Great Proofs of Evolution
Demonstrates that no specialized knowledge of science is needed to recognize
the absurdity of every major proof of evolution. We will review 10 "Great
Proofs" of evolution, and show that: 1. none are even rational, 2.
all provide excellent evidence for creation. If you understand this material
you should win every debate with evolutionists.
|
|
Age of the Earth - The Myth
of Uniformitarian Geology
The greatest deception regarding the age of the Earth does not come from
radiometric dating. Most people haven't the foggiest idea what it is, and
those who do don't believe it. Rather, the most convincing "proofs"
of an ancient Earth come from relic geologic formations, stories about what
caused them, and how long it took. A complete system of mythology in its
own right, "uniformitarian geology" has caused the most deception,
even among those who have never even heard the term. This presentation discusses
several famous types of geologic formations (e.g., Grand Canyon, caves)
and shows in simple terms how absurd the "uniformitarian" view
is, and how obvious the correct view is when it is presented.
|
|
Is Creation Science?
A favorite claim of evolutionists everywhere is that their beliefs about
the past are science, but creation is religion. What is really true? What
does the Bible really say? Is Creation science, faith, or both?
|
|
The Origin of Fossils and
Rocks - The Myth of Uniformitarian Geology
Darwin was sold on millions of years by a Lawyer, Charles Lyell, whom he
read while on his famous world cruise. Was Lyell right? Or did he just make
a sucker out of Darwin and many others?
|
|
The Origin of Caves and
Cave Formations
An evaluation of current cave theory and of a new theory which suggests
caves and their formations formed in much less than 500 years in the Ice
Age.
|
|
Evolution vs Creation... The
Battle for the Minds and Hearts of Our Children
While the origins controversy does involve science to a small extent, the
fuel for the flames is religious and political. And the real source of that
fuel, as well as the hot air that fans the flames, is not, nor has it ever
been, "the religious right." The real heat is generated by a rather
small bunch of fanatical, religious zealots, whose goal is to take over
society and to establish an anti-Christian, Fascist, world state. The chief
political vehicle for the assault is control of the minds of the children.
|
|
Dinosaurs - The Whole Truth
Dinosaur bones from Russia were on display at Crown Center in Kansas City
for several months in 1999. Our kids were bored and I could find no purpose
to the display, until I offered the kids cash awards for writing down the
most occurrences of the word "million" and all the evidence for
it. They had a ball. They found "million" on every placard, but
absolutely no supporting evidence.
|
|
National Science Standards:
What are they? What do they mean?
The National Science Foundation and many others are aggressively pushing
for National "Science" Standards. Presently, Kansas is evaluating
standards largely copied from the NSF "standard." A citizens group
and some wise School Board members took the academic and media establishments
by surprise, proposing alternate standards that require (Heaven forbid)
teaching science in science classes. This is one of the most important public
issues in many years.
|
|
Scientific Evidence for
Creation (Really: Scientific Proof of a Creator)
The presentation uses the Scientific Method of Bacon, Descartes, and Popper,
and the definition of science pushed by the National Academy of Science.
We will show that, there are mutations, there is change and some adaptation,
there does exist chemical, molecular, DNA and structural similarity between
animals, and it is possible to produce an "attractive tree," but
evolution, (molecules to life, scum to apes, or apes to man) as believed
and taught to children and the lay public, is not now, nor has it ever been
science, much less true.
|
|
Were Dinosaurs on the Ark?
Understanding the Biblical Answer to Racism.
A scientist's comment on the unlikeliness of getting dinosaurs on the Ark
is used as an analogy to show how the Bible, when used as a foundation for
truth, leads to the correct answers for all human quests, including answers
to the origin of man, race and racism.
|
|
Christianity and Origins:
"Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth
Where should Christians draw the line? Not the line of what they will fight
over, the line that says "I don't go there because God doesn't."
"Is there really any conflict between Christianity and science?"
"Just what does God say about origins in the Bible?" "Can
a Christian believe in an old earth?" "Couldn't God have used
evolution?" "Couldn't the days of creation have been long?"
"Aren't there gaps in the chronologies?" "Perhaps the origins
narratives are mostly symbolic." Our goal is to "rightly divide
the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15) on these key issues. The Bible
gives rather complete answers on all these which are 100% compatible with
true science. There is, and will remain, conflict between the Bible and
false science.
|
|
Feathered Dinosaurs - Fraud, Deception, or Science?
First it was big news, now it is a monthly affair, another new "feathered
dinosaur!" Have dinosaurs been found with feathers? Are the feathers
real? Are they fraud? What does the label "Feathered Dinosaur"
mean? Is the latest "discovery" "a nightmare for the Creationists
to adapt to" as claimed by Alec Ritchie of the Australian Museum?
|
|
Ape Man: Science or Myth?
A thorough review of the major "evidence for human evolution"
showing the actual fossil material, how it was "interpreted" and
"reconstructed" by its happy discoverers, and how it was presented
to the public. All will point to the theme proposed by Rushdooney and others
(paraphrased): "The purpose of mythology is control of history. From
history comes meaning and purpose. Thus the purpose of mythology is always
to control history, in order to make meaning and purpose subject to, and
amenable to fallen man."
|
|
The Age of the Earth
- Using Radiometric Dating
Does Radiometric Dating give us any coherent picture of Earth Age? Only
if you leave out the vast majority of rocks tested.
|
|
The Age of the Earth
- Using Geologic Formations
Stories of an old earth really got rolling with James Hutton, a failure
at law, medicine and farming, who became an "expert" at geology.
Then "true geology" really got its foundation from a British
lawyer named Charles Lyell. Was what they said good science or bad philosophy?
