3. Session 1 • Purpose of the Class: • STRENGTHEN your faith and confidence in God’s word • PROVIDE witnessing tools • What does God’s Word say? • Ex 31:17 “…for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,” • This happened very “recently” • What does evolution say? The common descent of all life on earth from a single ancestor via undirected mutation and natural selection.

4. Biblical Order is True The Young Earth(pg Evolutionary Order Is True 31) By Dr. John Morris Both Biblical & Evolutionary Orders Are True

5. Session 1 (Cont) • There are only two theories: • Creation • Evolution • The other (so called “theories”) are: • Theological attempts to embrace the Bible and evolution. • They did not come from “science” • Does it matter? • YES!!!

6. Session 1 (Cont) If God Created us— • HE and only He makes the rules. • There are absolutely “absolutes.” (Rights and wrongs.) • The concept of “authority” is authorized, mandated, and directed under His domain. • Sickness and death are a consequence of sin. • Sin has eternal consequences. • The Bible is fully reliable. • Salvation is provided by Christ.

7. Session 1 (Cont) If We Evolved— • WE and only WE make the rules. • There are no “absolutes.” • The word “authority” has no meaning outside of voluntary submission. (“Voluntary submission is in serious conflict with “Survival of the Fittest.”) • You have no purpose in life - other than your own self satisfaction. • The Bible is not credible. • The concept of “salvation” is irrelevant.

8. Session 2 • Testimony • Discussed consequences of evolutionary ideology • Terminology • Discussed the difference between “proof” and “evidence for” • Investigated the use of the word “Day” (yom) in scripture • Developed the Biblical basis for a very young earth

10. Based on the dates of the Egyptian Empire, the oldest possible date for the beginning of time is 5700bc, but it is much more likely to be 4000bc based on historical data.

11. Session 3 • Mt St Helens • Rapid erosion • Rapid deposition • Specimen Ridge • Coal formation • We see this type of “catastrophism” all over the world

12. Session 4 • The Grand Canyon • Erosion, Deposition, Folding, & Rad Dating ALL indicate that the Grand Canyon was formed very quickly • Intro to Sideling Hill • Intro to the Age of the Earth (Rad Dating)

13. Unexplained Unrelated Events? 4/5th of land covered by sedimentary rock Abundant vegetation in the arctic Extinction of dinosaurs (and other animals) Seashells on top of mountains OR Explained by the Flood! (and Expected) Ice age The rim of fire Magnetic field reversals Location of continents Location of mountain ranges Formation of limestone caves Session 5 • And Many More!

14. Session 5 (Cont)Happy Birthday(s) • Nucleotide Material App Age Half Life • K-Ar Rock 841.5 Ma B 1.3B • Rb-Sr Rock 1055 Ma B 47B • Rb-Sr Mineral 1059 Ma B 47B • Pb-Pb Rock 1249 Ma A+B • Pb-Pb Mineral 1249 Ma A+B • Sm-Nd Rock 1375 Ma A 106B • Sm-Nd Mineral 1375 Ma A 106B

16. Helium Generation Due to U238 Decay Helium Diffusion Rates Support Accelerated Nuclear Decay 2003 Dr. R. D. Humphreys

18. RAPID C14 Change of Atmosphere • Leibnitz Labs • Keil, Germany • Ice Age Clams: • Outside = 0.30 pmc • Inside = 0.67 pmc • Age Difference = 6000 years! • Lab conclusion, “So far, no theory explaining the results has survived all the tests.”

19. Diamonds

20. Session 6 • Dinosaurs

21. The Six Days of Creation

22. Session 6 • Dinosaurs • Are fun creatures to study • Fit into the Bible very well • How did all those creatures fit into the ark?!?

23. How did Noah get all of those animals into the Ark?

24. 1/5th Volume!! Noah’s Ark was 5 times this big!!

25. Session 6 • Dinosaurs • Are fun creatures to study • Fit into the Bible very well • How did all those creatures fit into the ark?!? • Learned about ancient “legends”

27. Session 6 • Dinosaurs • Are fun creatures to study • Fit into the Bible very well • How did all those creatures fit into the ark?!? • Learned about ancient “legends” • How they became extinct

29. Session 7 • Global Warming • We absolutely ARE accountable to God for our stewardship of His great gift to us. • As responsible Christians we must address it in a responsible manner. • We must not fall prey to doomsayers promoting a “sustainable environment”, politicians fighting turf wars, the media trying to give us an unwarranted guilt trip, or bad science promoting fantasies. • a) The earth “might” be getting warmer. b) However, the earth is very stable (self healing) c) If it is getting warmer, there is practically nothing you can do to prevent it.

30. Session 7 (Cont) 5. Last, and not least; I have already read the last page of my Bible. I already know the final score. I have the promise of eternal life and am charged with the responsibility of stewardship; not the salvation of the universe.

31. Session 8 • Incredible Creatures (including you!) that defy evolution!

32. Session 8 (Cont) 1. Bombardier Beetle 2. Giraffe 3. Platypus 4. Human A. Ear B. Eye 5. Lampsillis Mussel 6. Jaguar

33. Session 8 (Cont) • Design! • Which device shows more design sophistication?

34. Session 8 (Cont)

35. Session 9 DNA Creation - Evolution Genetics Intelligent Design (Information) Viruses Bacteria Antibiotic Resistance Speciation

36. Session 10

37. Do Stars That AreBillions Of Light-Years AwayProve” That The Universe IsBillions Of Years Old?

38. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork. Psalm 19:1

39. NO!

40. Session 10 (Cont)Radiometric Dating Methods;Is the World Really Billions of Years Old? Photo of Carbon 12 Atom (Captured via high speed, digital, state of the art imagination) 12

41. How Are Fossils “Really” Dated?“Chad” “The skull and other fossil remains have been dated at 6 million to 7 million years old — which would make them the oldest-known relatives of modern humans.” “The usual radioisotope-dating techniques couldn’t be used on the thin geological strata where the fossils were found.” “Instead, the researchers used a less reliable method to come up with an age of 6 million to 7 million years, by comparing dozens of animal fossils that were found alongside the skull with similar fossils found in Kenya that were isotope-dated.” Nature Dec 18, 2003

43. Are There “Vestigial Organs”? • As Defined by Evolutionists – • They don’t exist! • (Never Have - Never Will!) • Yolk Sac • Tail • Gills 30

44. We should not therefore be surprised that Haeckel's drawings enterednineteenth-century textbooks.But we do, I think, have the right to be both astonished and ashamed by the century of mindlessrecyclingthat has led to the persistenceof those drawings in alarge number, if not a majority,of modern textbooks. Stephen J. Gould"Abscheulich! (Atrocious),“ Natural History, 109[2]:42-50, Mar 2000

45. Conclusions • We have discussed (to some degree) ALL of the common creation/evolution questions • ALL of science truly points to our Creator • Our Bible (God’s Word) is 100% reliable • We should never be intimidated by evolutionary dogma • Our faith need never be compromised by evolutionary dogma • How and what we believe determines our actions and worldview • We must convey this to our children as they will never get it from the media/schools around them • In today’s society, we can also use this info as a witnessing tool
