Dr. Jim Johnson will speak on creation at Tyndale Theological Seminary in Hurst, Texas. Many Christians are familiar with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8), yet not so familiar with the Genesis Mandate (Genesis 1:28-30 & 9:1-7) to “be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.” The Genesis Mandate, which decree applies to both mankind and all animals, prioritizes both reproductive increase and successful use of geographically diverse habitats. Animals display God’s love of variety, exhibiting biodiversity (miscellaneous birds, mammals, insects, fish, etc.) and diverse habitats (forests, grasslands, wetlands, oceans, deserts, etc.), as our Creator providentially fits His very different creatures to fill very different ecosystems. Understanding God’s purposes and bioengineering, for fitting creatures to fill habitats, is clarified by recognizing and refuting false notions of natural science (1 Timothy 6:20). In considering these things, this series analyzes how Bible-based creation ecology clashes with the errors of deism, natural selection, and utilitarianism. Read more »

Dr. Randy Guliuzza, Dr. Frank Sherwin, Dr. Brian Thomas, Dr. Jake Hebert, and Dr. Tim Clarey will speak on biblical creation at the God's Grand Design Conference held at Flint Baptist Church in Flint, Texas. Was the universe invented by the unknowing, uncaring, purposeless laws of nature? Many scientists believe that the extraordinary design demonstrated throughout the universe is the result of random processes operating over eons of time. But Bible-believing scientists affirm the book of Genesis and its message of a Creator who designed the intricate engineering efficiencies into this world. That belief system not only fits scientific observations but also gives creation-based scientists beneficial insight as they conduct research. The God’s Grand Design Conference will show how true science supports a young universe created by the greatest Designer of all, the Lord Jesus Christ. Read more »

Dr. Jim Johnson will speak at Bayside Community Church in Tampa, Florida. The epistle of Jude is strange, succinct, hard-hitting, colorful, and amazing.

Dr. Tim Clarey will speak on biblical creation at Lone Star Cowboy Church in Corsicana, Texas. Dr. Clarey will show how sedimentary evidence across several continents confirms the occurrence of a global flood. He will present oil industry data compiled into maps and diagrams that illustrate the progression of the Flood and match the biblical narrative. He provides biblically based scientific explanations for large-scale sedimentary deposits that were rapidly formed by catastrophic activity. This abundant evidence supports a worldwide flood that happened just thousands of years ago. In his second presentation, Dr. Clarey will refute the notion of dinosaur evolution and ancestry by examining four common dinosaur myths. He exposes each myth using scientific evidence and concludes that dinosaurs were created just thousands of years ago. Read more »

Learn how well-known objects in our own solar system present problems for evolutionary theories but confirm recent creation. And what about dinosaurs? Many Christians are unsure how dinosaurs fit into the Bible. In his evening presentation, Dr. Hebert explains how the Bible easily makes sense of the historical and scientific evidence about dinosaurs. Read more »

Dr. Frank Sherwin will speak on creation at Black Mountain Baptist Church in Cave Creek, Arizona. The Phylum Arthropoda is the largest group of animals in the living world. Within this group are the amazing insects. Mr. Sherwin uses the fossil record to show that insects have always been insects. Join Mr. Sherwin as he discusses bees having a grass seed-sized brain and the ability to recognize faces, as well as dragonfly design, butterfly metamorphosis, and migration. Mr. Sherwin will also look at the first 11 chapters of Genesis and explain why they should be taken literally, not allegorically or poetically. He will conclude with an appeal to Christians to know why they believe what they believe and why Genesis should be our rock-solid foundation from its very first verse. Read more »
