| Time | Speaker | Title | Description |
| 2:00 p.m. | Dr. Frank Sherwin | Dinosaurs and the Bible | A creationist and evolutionist can work together to dig up a dinosaur fossil. They will just disagree on where the dinosaur came from, how long ago it lived, and what killed it. Dr. Sherwin begins this talk by asking children under 12 to identify pictures of some of the more popular "thunder lizards". He then uses the fossil record to show that dinosaurs have always been dinosaurs - they didn't evolve from other reptiles or turn into birds. Evolutionary scientists teach many strange theories about how the dinosaurs died off, but much can be explained by the worldwide Flood of Genesis. |
| 2:50 p.m. | Break | ||
| 3:00 p.m. | Dr. Jake Hebert | Our Young Universe | This presentation explains why many astronomical objects, especially those in our solar system, show strong indications of youth; how a respected creation physicist used young-universe assumptions to make successful predictions regarding the magnetic fields of various heavenly bodies; and how creation researchers are making strides in answering one of the most difficult questions of all: How can we see distant starlight in a young universe? |
| 4:00 p.m. | Break for Dinner | Dinner is not provided, and is on your own. | |
| 6:30 p.m. | Dr. Jake Hebert | What You Haven't Been Told About Radiometric Dating | In this presentation, Dr. Hebert will explain why no Christian should be intimidated by claims that radioisotope dating methods prove an old Earth. He will discuss the conventional assumptions behind the dating methods, why those assumptions are questionable, and how the data, rightly interpreted, are actually consistent with the Bible's short ~6,000 year history. |
| 7:20 p.m. | Break | ||
| 7:30 p.m. | Dr. Frank Sherwin | The Wonderful Oceans | In this presentation, Dr. Sherwin will discuss the amazing variety of marine life found in venues from tidal pools all the way to crushing ocean depths over five miles down. He also talks about the critical connection between moon-induced tides and weather, and important paths or currents in the oceans mentioned in the Scripture (Psalm 8). Finally, he addresses how the volume of water in the oceans relates to the Genesis Flood. |
| 8:30 p.m. | Conclusion | ||

| Time | Speaker | Title | Description |
| 9:00 a.m. | Dr. Jake Hebert | The Big Bang is Broken | This talk is excellent for those wanting a deeper understanding of the reasoning behind the bizarre claims of Big Bang astronomers (the claim that most of the matter in the universe is an "exotic", never before observed forms of matter; the claim that other universes exist; "inflation" theory; etc.). This is a great equipping resource for those who want to know why Big Bang proponents make the claims that they do. Despite the optimistic claims of Big Bang proponents, the Big Bang model is in serious trouble. |
| 9:50 a.m. | Break | ||
| 10:00 a.m. | Dr. Frank Sherwin | Human Evolution | The media, movies, and nature programs overwhelmingly emphasize the idea that humans evolved from primate ancestors. But what do genetics and the fossil record say? Not a month goes by that we don't read science headlines like, "Prehistoric human shakes up evolutionary tree" (Reuters, 2021). Do people and chimps really have 98% similar DNA? Who or what was "Lucy"? Were the Neanderthals sub-human? Are our wisdom teeth, appendices, and tonsils just evolutionary leftovers? Dr. Sherwin's non-technical presentation confirms that people have always been people, just as Genesis says. |
| 11:00 a.m. | Conclusion for the Morning | ||
| 6:30 p.m. | Dr. Jake Hebert | The Mystery of the Ice Age | Was there an Ice Age or ages? If so, how many, and how do they "fit" into biblical history? Learn how mainstream scientists have difficulty explaining an ice age. Learn why a well-known argument for the dominant secular ice age theory is invalid, even by mainstream reckoning, and how the Bible gives us a convincing explanation for an Ice Age that can explain mysteries that event today perplex mainstream scientists. |
| 7:20 p.m. | Break | ||
| 7:30 p.m. | Dr. Frank Sherwin | Animals of the Bible | Take a tour of the many animals listed in Scripture - from camels to dragons. Each creature is given a description of a unique trait or design perspective that shouts creation! |
| 8:30 p.m. | Conclusion | ||

| Time | Speaker | Title | Description |
| 5:00 p.m. | Dr. Frank Sherwin | The Design of Sheep | Sheep are mentioned more frequently than any other animal in the Bible - about 750 times. The Bible makes many comparisons between the ways of sheep and people. Dr. Sherwin answers questions regarding these wooly animals including, where did sheep come from? Why is wool so insulating? What is the significance of the Passover lamb (Numbers 9)? Verses in Exodus 15, Zechariah 13, Jeremiah chapters 10 and 23, Ezekiel 34, and Revelation 15 are discussed. |
| 5:50 p.m. | Break | ||
| 6:00 p.m. | Dr. Jake Hebert | Living to 900 | The Bible affirms that people in the pre-Flood world routinely attained ages of nearly a millennium. Other ancient historians corroborate the Bible's claim in this regard. Moreover, unless this longevity was supernatural, it seems that animals also would have experienced much greater longevity, as it is difficult to conceive of a natural cause for longer lifespans (fewer harmful mutations, abundant food, different atmospheric conditions, etc.) that would not also have affected the animal kingdom. Longevity studies of living animals have shown that giantism and delayed maturation are often associated with greater longevity, and there is abundant evidence for both in the fossils. Growth bands in fossil oysters, sharks, dinosaurs, crocodilians, birds, and small Jurassic mammals, already published in the mainstream scientific literature, show direct and/or indirect evidence they had much longer lifespans than do modern animals. |
