Dinosaurs (grades 1-6)
Topics include: Understanding God’s creation, where did dinosaurs come from? What did dinosaurs look like? How fast could dinosaurs run? What happened to the dinosaurs? Were dinosaurs on the Ark? Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?

Scientific Evidence That Demands A Creator (Grades 7 – 12)
This talk is for junior high and high school ages. Topics include: The track record of evolution, Neanderthals, Geological evidence for a worldwide flood: Mount St. Helens and eastern Washington, Amazing creatures that defy evolution.

Critical Thinking in Science
A look at the scientific process and how to understand “fuzzy” words presented in news journals and textbooks that are used to support evolution. The talk will take students through a case study on analyzing how origins is presented in textbooks and comparing that to empirical science.

Sunday Services

Examining Your Foundations
This sermon examines the foundations for what we believe about the Bible. It covers 9 biblical evidences why the Bible cannot be harmonized with evolution. It concludes with the reliability of the Bible and the Gospel message.

Topics include: Understanding the issue, The battleground, Effects of evolution, Warfare and the church, The cross without creation, Preparing for battle, The Creator and His creation.

Strategic Evangelism
Topics include: A Biblical explanation of creation, a look at the core of what evolution means, two worldviews in conflict, how to evangelize to the evolutionists (how to take the discussion from science to the Gospel), and warfare – what we know – and what is left to do.

Other Popular Talks

The Origin of Life
This talk presents convincing scientific evidence against the model of evolution as well as scientific evidence for a Creator God. It covers some of the most popular topics used in textbooks to promote evolution. While covering many scientific terms and ideas, this talk is well received because it is presented in an easy to understand manner. Topics include: The history of evolutionary thought (spontaneous generation). The results of Man's attempts to create life (includes the Miller experiment), The cell and probability, The primordial soup and science, The Second Law of Thermodynamics, DNA, Information and complexity.

Creation/Evolution: Does It Matter What I Believe?
This is one of the most popular talks. It covers many biblical and scientific reasons to believe in creation. It also discusses why evolution and the Bible are not compatible. Topics include: Overview of the two models, 7 biblical truths that declare the Bible and evolution are not compatible: (1) The process for creation; (2) The order of creation; (3) The cause of physical death; (4) The Genesis Flood (worldwide, local flood, or myth); (5) The days of creation (literal days or long ages); (6) The origin of life; (7) Jesus and creation. Science and why it mattes what we believe, Why it matters what we believe.

The Origin of Humans
This talk begins by showing the history of mistakes and deception in attempting to produce "the missing link." This talk presents convincing evidence that Neanderthals were just modern humans and that the australopithecines (including Lucy) are just extinct apes. Topics include: Four famous mistakes, Neanderthals, Lucy and the Australopithecines, Rearranging data to promote evolution,. Mutation rates – a case study.

The Age of the Earth
This lecture takes a scientific and Biblical approach to the age of the earth. Topics include: Three views of creation, Are long ages necessary? Geologic observations, Radioisotope dating methods, Scientific evidences for a young earth, The days of creation (literal days or long ages), How important is creation?

Noah’s Ark and the Flood
An analysis of the geologic and Biblical evidences for a worldwide flood. Topics include: Geologic time and the geologic column, The origin of strata (uniformitarianism, or worldwide flood), Liquefaction, Turbidites, Grand Canyon, Geologic processes and time, The Bible and the Genesis Flood, Scientists that believe in a worldwide flood and young earth.

Carbon-14 Dating
This talk presents the scientific evidence that demonstrates why carbon-14 dating is not reliable as a technique for determining the true age of fossils. Topics include: Carbon-14: what is it? How is carbon-14 produced? How does the dating process work? The underlying assumption, Why carbon-14 dating is not reliable.

Astronomy and the Bible
This is one of the most difficult topics for Christians to understand and accept. All we hear is the big bang and that the universe is billions of years old. This lecture separates speculation from facts. Topics include: An understanding of the two models of history, Evaluating evidence for the age of the universe, Stellar formation the Bible and physics, Evidence for and against the big bang, The redshift of starlight and what it means, The Bible and the time of creation.

The Fossil Record
Mechanism for biological change: microevolution, macroevolution, natural selection, genetic variation. Evidences used to support evolution: the fossil record, Charles Darwin, school textbooks, Cambrian explosion, gaps in the fossil record, and a look at some famous alleged intermediates (horse evolution, archaeopteryx, and whale evolution.)

Evidence that Demands a Creator
An analysis of 3 areas of beginnings: (1) cosmic evolution (the beginning of the universe, the big bang, laws of science, a classic argument for the existence of God); (2) chemical evolution (the origin of life, school textbooks, scientific facts that demand a Creator); (3) biological evolution (how creatures change, microevolution, macroevolution, natural selection), The real meaning of evolution, Amazing creatures that defy evolution: giraffe, woodpecker, Leviathan and the bombardier beetle, the chicken egg.

Dinosaurs and Biblical Truth
This talk designed for junior high and above answers the following questions: How many kinds of dinosaurs existed? How big were the dinosaurs? How fast were dinosaurs? What about the origin of dinosaurs? Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? When did dinosaurs live? What happened to the dinosaurs?

Can You Defend What You Believe?
This lecture challenges both the creationist and evolutionist in their ability to defend what they believe. It begins with an analysis of the Biblical foundation for creation and then demonstrates why evolution cannot be defended scientifically and must rely on faith. It shows how the layperson can successfully witness to an evolutionist by showing that evolution is without a foundation.

Creation, Cloning, and Life
This lecture/sermon explains the details of cloning and what has gone wrong. It discusses the difference between the types of stem cell research. The lecture finishes by showing that the Bible and the scientific evidence confirm life begins at conception. This is a hard-hitting lecture against the anti-life (abortion) movement. Great for teens and adults.
