The Institute for Creation Research

Join us on Thursday, August 11th or Saturday, August 13th, as the ICR Discovery Center will be hosting the Dallas film premiere of God’s Living Treasures: Amazing Animals of Alaska, Volume 3. What are God’s living treasures? They are God’s creatures which add joy and delight to our lives, are valued for their beauty and design, and enhance our world. Enjoy learning about more amazing animals of Alaska from Dr. Jobe Martin and his friends Dr. Jim Johnson, David Rives and Micah Bowman. Be inspired as you learn about the complexities of arctic birds’ systems to be able to fly long distances and swim deep under water, about cats with their own hearing aids and snowshoes, massive sea creatures that use “bubble nets” to catch their food, and a majestic bird that uses 1,500 feathers in flight and can dive 100 mph. These creatures’ variety, design, and complexity point us back to the Creator, Jesus Christ, Who is also the loving Savior of all mankind. Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer . . . I am the Lord that maketh all things (Isaiah 44:24a). That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).

Dr. Randy Guliuzza will speak on biblical creation at the Designed to Diversify Seminar at Independent Bible Church.
Psychological research shows that humans in every culture perceive designed features and naturally infer they had designers. If this is the case, then the persuasive power in life’s designs is an enormously underused gift from God in apologetic defenses. Design-based explanations of creature features given from an engineer’s perspective bring scientific clarity to apologetics discussions by demystifying fallacious Darwinian origins explanations. If you can properly identify the cause of an organism’s dramatic capacity to adapt—better yet, self-adjust— to different environments, you’re on your way to the most powerful argument against death and survival-driven naturalistic evolution. This strategy points to a beneficent intelligent Designer consistent with the God of the Bible. Schedule

Dr. Brian Thomas will be speaking on creation at Our Savior Lutheran Church of Bettendorf, Iowa. Christians today are facing many challenges to their faith in God’s Word. Is the Bible reliable? Is there any evidence for creation? Did dinosaurs and humans live together? Did humans evolve from an ape-like ancestor? Dr. Thomas will provide solid answers to these and other questions as he shows how science affirms the accuracy of the Bible. Read more »

Dr. Brian Thomas will speak on “Personal Discoveries that Confirm Creation” for the morning worship services at Calvary Community Church. Where did we come from? Do questions about origins matter to the core doctrines of Christianity? In this message Dr. Thomas tells of the scientific evidence that led him to change his mind on the earth’s age, where fossils came from, and how Genesis supports the Gospel. Read more »

Dr. Brian Thomas will speak on "Adam or Apes?" at Truman State University. Polls show that illustrations of alleged ape-like human ancestors convince more Americans of evolutionary thinking than any other subject. Dr. Thomas will present compelling scientific evidence that challenges the standard Darwinian narrative regarding human origins. He will also discuss the profound existential implications of our true human ancestry as it relates to the central message of the Christian faith. Attendees will be welcome to participate in a civil Q&A session with Dr. Thomas following the presentation. This in-person event is free and open to the public and is being sponsored by the Lutheran Student Fellowship. Read more »

Dr. Brian Thomas will present his message “Certainly Human: How Reproduction Reveals Creation” for the chapel service at Emmaus Bible College.

Attendees will gain a new appreciation for the Creator’s genius and find new confidence that God alone designed marriage and human life. This presentation is free and open to the public. Read more »

Dr. Jake Hebert will be speaking on “The Ice Age and Climate Change: A Christian Perspective” at 12:00 noon at the Campus Christian House on Wednesday, September 28th. Did Earth experience an ice age? If so, how many, and how do they fit into biblical history? Learn how secular scientists have difficulty explaining an ice age, how the secular ice age theory contributes to climate change alarmism, why deep ice cores do not prove an old earth, and how the Bible gives us a convincing explanation for the Ice Age.

Dr. Jake Hebert will be speaking on “Created Cosmos or Big Bang?” at the campus of Missouri University of Science & Technology on Thursday, September 29th. In this presentation Dr. Hebert will assess the claims of astronomers and cosmologists who adhere to the Big Bang model of the origin of the universe. Dr. Hebert addresses the claim that most matter in the universe is exotic and unseen, the idea that other universes exist, inflation theory, and more. Despite the optimism of its proponents, the Big Bang model is in serious trouble and a far weaker scientific explanation of the cosmos than the model of Biblical creation. No mere intellectual query, the issue of origins entails profound existential implications and relates to the central message of the Christian faith. Attendees will be welcome to participate in a civil Q&A session with Dr. Hebert following the presentation. This in-person event is free and open to the public and is being sponsored by the Christian Campus Fellowship. Read more »

This fall, the ICR Discovery Center will host the Great Recital (October 11-15). Professor Tom Meyer and others will recite the entire New Testament, word for word, from memory. The Bible contains many references to being read aloud at public gatherings—such as the Feast of Tabernacles on the Sabbatical year, which included a celebratory reading of God’s Word (Deuteronomy 31:11-13). This ritual intended to produce a life of obedience and ensure a continuation of the nation’s divine prosperity. By attending this event in person or online, you can be part of an ancient historical tradition that spans thousands of years. For more information, visit thebiblememoryman.com Read more »

Dr. Randy Guliuzza, Dr. Frank Sherwin and Dr. Tim Clarey will speak on biblical creation at the Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis Creation Conference sponsored by Alpha Ministries and held at the Fourth Memorial Church in Spokane, Washington. Many Christians wrestle with the seeming disparity between faith and science. They want to believe the inerrancy of Scripture, but it’s difficult to reconcile their beliefs with what science texts teach. The Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis Conference seeks to resolve this conflict by answering key questions about the design of living things, the age of the universe, and how scientific evidence lines up with the Bible.
