Título Descrição
Is Genesis Important? (O Gênesis é importante?) Esta palestra mostra que Gênesis 1-11 é importante, pois o desafio da cultura está causando um êxodo maciço dos jovens. Barna relata que 70% de jovens evangélicos frequentadores da igreja deixam a igreja após concluir o ensino médio. Answers in Genesis lhes perguntou por que e descobriu que cerca de metade duvidava da Bíblia por causa das longas eras ensinada como fato na cultura. Cerca de 25% eram influenciados pela evolução.

A questão de saber se Gênesis 1-11 pode ser interpretada de forma diferente do que o significado histórico direto é endereçada. A resposta é um claro não. O uso da palavra "dia" em Gênesis 1 é dado como um exemplo em que a exegese da palavra no contexto, significa um dia solar de 24 horas. No que diz respeito a idade da terra, Jesus indicou três vezes, que a terra era nova. Se as palavras claras de Gênesis 1-11 podem ser distorcidas, então qualquer passagem clara na Bíblia pode ser feita para dizer qualquer coisa. O caos bíblico tem resultado em milhões perdendo sua "fé". Grande dano tem ocorrido dentro da Igreja como um todo e continua. O Genesis é realmente muito importante.

Nós não temos que harmonizar com a visão do mundo do naturalismo, porque não há muitos dados científicos para apoiar Gênesis. Um exemplo é a extrema complexidade do mundo biológico, como mostrado pela célula, as moléculas de proteína e o ADN. No que respeita aos velhos tempos em causa, o projeto RATE mostrou que os milhões e bilhões de anos podem ser explicados por um período de decadência acelerado no momento da criação e, possivelmente, durante o Dilúvio. Tanto os adultos e os jovens precisam aprender esta evidência, para que eles possam permanecer em uma cultura que está empurrando a evolução e a idade avançada mais e mais.

Is Evolution a Fact? (A Evolução é um Fato?) Embora a cultura afirme que a evolução é um fato, essa conversa entra em três razões principais pelas quais não pode ser um fato. Primeiro, a evolução não pode ser um fato pelas definições de evolução e ciência. A macroevolução não é observada em andamento hoje, portanto não é ciência. As provas da evolução estão na área da “microevolução”, que é realmente a diversificação do material genético já criado nos organismos e não é uma evolução real. A macroevolução é simplesmente a história (ou religião, como alguns chamam) da visão de mundo ateísta (versões disponíveis para adultos e crianças de 3 a 12 anos).

Segundo, a evolução não pode ser um fato, porque a biologia moderna mostra que todo organismo é muito complexo para evoluir por acaso, mesmo com os mecanismos patéticos de mutações e seleção natural. Além disso, a macroevolução não é vista no registro fóssil porque a complexidade é tremenda, desde os organismos “mais antigos” e a falta dos milhões de fósseis de transição exigidos pela macroevolução. Os moluscos sem casca também mostram que as rochas que contêm os fósseis foram depositadas rapidamente e em todo o mundo.

Terceiro, a evolução não pode ser um fato, porque é contradito na Bíblia. Gênesis 1 afirma que os organismos foram criados por tipos e se reproduzem dentro de seus próprios tipos e não em outro tipo, que é a evolução. Além disso, a ordem da criação contradiz a ordem evolutiva doze vezes. A Bíblia também ensina e resume em Romanos 5:12 que não houve morte do homem ou dos animais até que o homem pecasse, enquanto a evolução afirma que houve morte em massa, sobrevivência do mais forte, etc. centenas de milhões de anos antes do homem supostamente evoluiu no final.

Is Evolution Probable? (A evolução é provável?) Os evolucionistas nos dizem que, com o tempo, o que parece impossível se torna praticamente certo, tornando a evolução plausível. Essa palestra fornece uma estimativa quantitativa de tal afirmação, que vai contra a segunda lei da termodinâmica, que afirma que a ordem entra em desordem com o tempo em um sistema isolado. Uso uma equação de probabilidade muito simples para mostrar que nem mesmo um simples passo na suposta evolução da vida da não-vida pode ocorrer na suposta era do universo.
Noah’s Flood: What Does the Bible Say? (Dilúvio de Noé: O que a Bíblia diz?) Esta palestra lista as muitas razões pelas quais as Escrituras dizem claramente que o Dilúvio de Gênesis foi global e que Jesus acreditava em um Dilúvio global. Fala sobre detalhes da arca, como se ela era espaçosa o suficiente para todos os animais. O que sabemos sobre o ambiente pré-diluviano é discutido, bem como os controversos mecanismos sugeridos para o Dilúvio.
Worldwide Evidence for Noah’s Flood (Evidência mundial a favor do dilúvio de Noé) The evidence for the global Genesis Flood is provided by all the hundreds of flood traditions from all over the world. Evidence for the Flood is found in sedimentary rocks that commonly cover huge distances and show little or no erosion between layers—unlike how mainstream geologist interpret the rocks based on small events over millions of years. Trillions of fossils in the sedimentary rocks provide powerful evidence for a global Flood, since fossilization today is rare (remember that mainstream scientists rely on present processes to explain the past). Moreover, the fossil record does not show evolution because of the gaps in the fossil record. Mollusks that make up 95% of fossils are predominantly closed shelled, strongly indicating that they were buried and fossilized rapidly all over the earth. This points to a global catastrophe and not small events over millions of years, the alternative mainstream view. Lastly, the talk delves into what we learned about the Flood from the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
Earth’s Surface Shaped by Receding Floodwater: First as Sheet Flow The talk first discusses what the Bible says about how the Floodwater drained from off the continents. Then geological evidence for parts of the Earth’s crust rising and parts descending to drain the Floodwater is presented. Geological evidence of sheet currents flowing off the continents is shown in the form of huge erosion of domes and the erosional remnants left behind. All the eroded sediment is deposited at the margin of the continents forming the continental shelf and slope. As the water is moving off the continents, sometimes at high speed, a rough surface is planed smooth by the debris being carried along by the Floodwater. These surfaces are called planation surfaces, if they are flat, and erosion surfaces, if they are rolling. A veneer of the debris is commonly left on top of the planation or erosion surfaces as a thin layer of cobbles and boulders. These rounded rocks from water action sometimes contain percussion marks caused by all the intense turbulence of the draining Floodwater. At the same time, resistant rocks are carried long distances from their sources, documented from the northwest states and adjacent Canada for transport distances of up to 800 miles. All these features are difficult if not impossible to explain by the alternative ideas of mainstream geologists.
Earth’s Surface Shaped by Receding Floodwater: Last by Channelized Flow After sheet flow continued for many days, more and more mountains and plateaus extend above the draining Floodwater, forcing the water to channelized around these objects. Channelized flow, therefore, carves valleys and canyons rapidly, and creates many other features that are difficult if not impossible to explain by mainstream geologists. Such features include water and wind gaps, which are perpendicular cuts through mountains, ridges, or plateaus; pediments, which are planation surfaces at the foots of mountains or ridges; and submarine canyons that are cut perpendicular to the shoreline through the continental shelf and slope.
What is the Origin of the Grand Canyon? The origin of the Grand Canyon has been a huge mystery for mainstream scientists for over 150 years. This is demonstrated right away in this talk. Then the talk goes into the two creationists hypotheses for the origin of the Grand Canyon. It shows that the post-Flood dam-breach hypothesis, supposedly caused when 2 to 3 lakes ponded east of Grand Canyon by the draining Flood waters, breached several hundreds years after the Flood. There are many problems with this hypothesis, two of which seem fatal. The second creationist hypothesis is more likely and that is the Grand Canyon was carved late in the Flood by rapid channelized erosion. Evidence for this is presented as well as how each segment of the Grand Canyon can be carved by the draining, channelized Floodwater.
Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs? This is a fun talk with lots of cartoons. It goes into the types of dinosaurs, which is important for how many dinosaurs were needed on the ark, a subject discussed later in the talk. Evolutionists have many problems with dinosaurs, such as what animal did they evolve from and why they went extinct. Other problems include dinosaurs living at polar latitudes, dinosaur living in the “desert,” and unfossilized dinosaurs with soft tissue that is supposed to have survived in the ground for over 65 million years. The last topic is whether dinosaurs were on the ark. If they were then there were post-Flood dinosaurs, which explain a host of mysteries, such as dragon legends all over the Earth, pictographs and other artwork depicting dinosaurs, and the likelihood that Job saw dinosaurs, such as Behemoth and Leviathan. (versions for adult and children grades 3 to 12)
The Ice Age: Only the Bible Can Explain It! The Ice Age is a major mystery of mainstream Earth science, the difficulty of which is analyzed in the talk. The evidence indicates that the Ice Age occurred after the Flood, so the Flood must have caused a climate change right afterwards that resulted in a rapid Ice Age. Many details of the Ice Age have been worked out from over 30 years of research, such as it was only about 700 years long, there was only one ice age, the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet mostly built up during this time, animals of the Ice Age were a mix of warmth-loving and cold-loving types, the existence of big lakes in now dry areas of the Earth, and the mass extinction at the end of the Ice Age.
Whatever Happened to the Woolly Mammoths? This talk shows that the woolly mammoth lived during the Ice Age; they did not die early in the Flood by a quick freeze. It focuses on the mammoths in Siberia and answers many mysteries of why they would live in Siberia, what they would eat, and how they died. Many other mammoth mysteries are also answered by the post-Flood rapid Ice Age, such as why the lowlands of Siberia, Alaska, and the Yukon were not glaciated; why there were so many large animals so far north; why some mammoth carcasses are found in a generally standing position, having suffocated; and why some have broken bones.
What Does the Lake Missoula Flood Teach Us? This talk describes the abundant evidence for the existence of glacial Lake Missoula at the peak of the Ice Age and its bursting forth creating the Channeled Scabland of eastern Washington in a matter of days. It focuses on the question of why practically every mainstream earth scientists rejected the Lake Missoula flood for 40 years, despite a overwhelming amount of evidence. The reason shows their bias against big events and shows why they will never see evidence for the Genesis Flood that stares them in the face. Now that mainstream scientists have accepted the Lake Missoula flood, they have gone on to postulate anywhere from 40 to 100 at the peak of the last ice age, not to speak of their other 30 supposed ice ages in the past 2.5 million years. Obvious evidence is presented that there really was only one large Lake Missoula flood. The features left behind from the Lake Missoula flood are then used to show that similar features all over the Earth were caused by a global Flood.
Is Man the Cause of Global Warming? Global warming seems to be the major topic of concern by many environmentalists, the media, and politicians. There is a huge amount of hysterical sounding statements made by many, and there are many contradictory statements floating around in the culture. This talk goes first into the facts and second what are likely facts, based on the scientific literature. From this data analysis, we can clear away much of the fog on this issue. We can understand what is going on with this hot button topic.
Dinosaur Tracks, Eggs, and Bonebeds Explained Early in the Flood Despite being able to explain many big-picture observations of the rocks and fossils, there are still a few hundred earth science challenges to the Flood model of earth history. One of these challenges is the existence of billions of dinosaur tracks, millions of dinosaur eggs, and scavenged bonebeds on thousands of feet of Flood strata. Such observations seem to imply too much time to have happened early in the Flood before dinosaurs were all dead by Day 150.

However, a closer examination of the bonebeds, tracks, and eggs indicates many unusual features for a uniformitarian environment. Unique features of bonebeds include the observations that some dinosaur graveyards are huge, monospecific, and lack babies and young juveniles. Unique features of dinosaur tracks are that practically all trackways are straight, tracks are always on flat bedding planes, and baby and young juvenile tracks are rare. Several unusual features observed with dinosaur eggs are that they are practically always laid on flat bedding planes, despite their significant porosity that would result in the death of the embryo, and nest structures are very rare. Such observations from all across the world suggest that another hypothesis is needed.

An hypothesis will be presented to explain the dinosaur data, which has been previously suggested in the creationist literature. This is the BEDS (Briefly Exposed Diluvial Sediments) hypothesis, which postulates that after rapid sedimentation during the Genesis Flood, the distance between the top of the sediment and the Floodwater surface became shallow. Such sediments would then become vulnerable to exposure by local drops in relative sea level caused by five mechanisms operating during the early Flood. There would of course be local rises in relative sea level inundating the BEDS. There could be hundreds of local sea level oscillations of various amplitudes and periods on BEDS during the first 150 days of the Flood due to all five mechanisms. Interference patterns from all the mechanisms would reinforce sea level lows and highs.

Dinosaurs swimming in the water, finding refuge on log mats, or trapped on higher refuges then could walk on BEDS and lay eggs. A gentle, local rise in relative sea level would cover up the tracks, eggs, and dead dinosaurs, preserving and eventually lithifying or fossilizing them. Because of all the oscillations in local sea level, there could be multiple layers of tracks and eggs at any one location. The BEDS hypothesis also can potentially explain a number of other seemingly puzzling features associated with dinosaur tracks and eggs, such as true mudcracks, raindrop imprints, coprolites, ripple marks, “paleosols,” burrows and tracks of invertebrates, possible social insect nests, and bird tracks. BEDS can also explain these features when not associated with dinosaur tracks.

The Geomorphology of the Uinta Mountains and its Implications The Uinta Mountains provides evidence for Flood runoff. As the Uinta Mountains uplifted and massive erosion occurred, a large, gravel capped pediment formed along the north and south side of the uplift. This pediment, called the Gilbert Peak erosion surface, bevels rocks of all ages within the uniformitarian geological column (used for discussion purposes only). The “gravel” up to large boulder size is called the Bishop Conglomerate and is commonly composed of red Uinta Group Quartzite from the heart of the mountains. Pediments are not being formed today, but are being destroyed. They are readily explained by fast Floodwater flowing parallel to the mountain range (Oard, 2004). After forming, the Gilbert Peak erosion surface was greatly dissected by subsequent erosion, which must have occurred late in the Flood

Waters gaps are common in the Uinta Mountains. These water gaps are also nearly impossible to explain by uniformitarianism but can be readily explain by Flood runoff. The pediment and water gaps were formed during the Cenozoic and therefore the Flood/post-Flood boundary is in the late Cenozoic in this area. The pediment also caps sedimentary rocks of the Green River and Bridger Formations, making these formations Flood formations.
