"The Place of Intelligent Design
in Evangelism, Discipleship and a Biblical Worldview"
Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
ROOM CHANGE: Nazareth Hall Chapel (the building nearest the lake)

The intelligent design movement has been praised and maligned - interestingly, believers and unbelievers line up on both sides. It is more profitable to separate the message from the messengers in order to restore I.D. to its Biblical role as revelation. As such, I.D. is the first line of rebuttal of the atheist/secular humanist's worldview, a powerful tool to engage unbelievers to consider God's fingerprints in history as well, and confirming evidence to strengthen the faith of believers. Abandoning intelligent design results in a slippery slope that erodes away a Christian perspective of mankind, nature and history as well. Correlation of I.D. with the Bible, its strengths and limitations, and the use of it in my practical experience as an evangelist will be discussed.

Video: "Dragons or Dinosaurs?"

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Totino Fine Arts Center, Room F2128 (Old F116)

What if evidence exists that man lived alongside dinosaurs? Dragon images and legends are found all over the world and in nearly every culture. They are widely considered to be mythical creatures, but what if dragons were actually dinosaurs?

The popular understanding of the dinosaur era is often used to discredit the Bible's teachings of creation, a young earth, and Noah's Flood. What if their existence instead actually helps prove the veracity of the biblical account?

Featuring today's leading creation science researchers-including ICR's President Dr. John Morris, Senior Science Lecturer Frank Sherwin, and Science Writer Brian Thomas-this explosive documentary is filled with cutting-edge research, recent incredible discoveries, and remarkable answers for both young and old.

Dragons or Dinosaurs? presents startling and verifiable evidence that humans walked with dinosaurs!

"The Magnificent Monster of Manitoba"

One Artist's Conception of Manipogo

Russ McGlenn

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Totino Fine Arts Center, Room F2128 (Old F116)

For years people have been seeing a serpent like creature on Lake Manitoba, Canada. Indian stories also tell of some kind of large animal that roams the waters of the lake. They call him PogoPogo, the local community calls it Manipogo. “Mani” for Manitoba and “pogo” using part of the Indian name. This is to designate the creatures as the ones that live in Manitoba since PogoPogo has been seen all the way across Canada to Vancouver Island.

In the past, Adventure Safari leaders Russ and Tricia McGlenn led two different safaris to Manipogo Park on Lake Manitoba to look for the creatures and interview eyewitnesses. Questions they will be answering are as follows;

*Is Manipogo a marine creature from the “dinosaur” era?
*Is Manipogo an ancient marine whale called a basilasaurus?
*Why do living dinosaurs falsify the evolutionary hypothesis?
*Are there other living dinosaurs in the world today?
*What evidence shows that dinosaurs and Indians lived at the same time?
*Included will be video taped interviews of two of the eyewitnesses that have seen Manipogo. The written report on Manipogo, including transcripts of the interview will be available for $5.00.
*Two 5 minute video cuts of eyewitness interviews will be shown in the meeting.

"Programmed Filling: NOT Natural Selection"
Dr. Randy Guliuzza of ICR

We will learn about an important and liberating new way of looking at organisms and their environment: "Programmed Filling" - a Biblically consistent and scientifically superior paradigm that explains exactly what happens at the organism-environment interface. Three points of departure mark the old and new understanding: 1) natural selection exists only as a misleading mental construct; 2) usage that acknowledges it in any way greatly dishonors the Lord; 3) programmed filling - a God-ordained, organism-centered, purpose-driven mechanism - is reality. By recognizing the explanatory power of programmed filling, believers will actually have a communicable and scientifically accurate pushback to natural selection that is just as enlightening and easy to understand.

March 5, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Seminar: Understanding Evolution 101
Continuing Education and Conference Center, 1890 Buford Ave., St. Paul Campus U of Minnesota

Evolution is the central unifying concept in biology. During this daylong program, you will explore evolution from a variety of perspectives. You will learn about Charles Darwin's work in developing evolution as a primary aspect of biological study, as well as earlier scientists who also contributed to evolutionary thought. You will examine the history of evolution as it became an integral part of contemporary biology, but also explore the efforts to dismiss the discipline and prevent its tenets from being taught in public schools. For example, you will hear about William Jennings Bryan's dismissal of Darwinian thought in Tennessee in 1925, the rise of "scientific creationism" in the 1960s, and the current efforts by leaders of the intelligent design movement. Through short presentations, discussions, and hands-on activities, you will build a conceptual understanding of evolution, including how it underlies all of biology, how it operates within populations and its contribution to the formation of species, how it is relevant to everyday life, and how evolutionary thought has intersected with other areas of knowledge and our view of ourselves. The $101 tuition includes morning refreshments, lunch, and afternoon refreshments. Please register online.

"The Church and the Modern University"

These two men of science will tackle (and dispel) the preposterous claim that the Church is an enemy of science-no disagreement there. They'll be plenty of room for disagreement, however, concerning which scientific positions are most compatible with the faith and the best way for confronting the lies of the modern university.

Recent events in Kansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other states have raised once again fundamental questions about science and its public image: How is scientific knowledge related to religious knowledge? What image of science and its relation to morality and religion should scientists cultivate and promote? To what extent, and in what ways, should scientists cooperate with the clergy in educating the general public about the content, scope, and limits of scientific knowledge? Do religious scientists have a special responsibility to contribute to conversations of this type? Questions such as these emerge from the intense debate about science and religion in the United States during the years surrounding the Scopes "Monkey" trial of 1925. This talk, heavily illustrated with images, shows how the self-styled "fundamentalists" used cartoons to demonize evolution, and how their "modernist" opponents used religious pamphlets by leading scientists (including two Nobel Laureates and five presidents of the AAAS) and clergy to advance a more favorable religious image of science. The cartoons are largely forgotten today, and the pamphlets are unknown to both historians of science and historians of religion. This paper analyzes the cartoons, tells how the pamphlets were found, sketches their history, and briefly discusses their highly interesting content. Two of my publications relate closely to the content of this talk: "Fundamentalist Cartoons, Modernist Pamphlets, and the Religious Image of Science in the Scopes Era." In Religion and the Culture of Print in Modern America, ed. Charles L. Cohen and Paul S. Boyer, (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2008), pp. 175-98. "Science and Religious Fundamentalism in the 1920s: Religious Pamphlets by Leading Scientists of the Scopes Era Provide Insight into Public Debates about Science and Religion." American Scientist 93.3 (May-June 2005): 254-60. Copies of these articles are available on request to mcps{at}umn.edu

This PowerPoint presentation will provide strong archaeological support for the historical accuracy of the Old Testament. Among the archaeological discoveries to be discussed are: The Ketef Hinnom Scrolls, the Shasu of Yahweh Inscriptions, the Tel Dan Stela, the Nabonidas Cylinder, the Elah Ostracon, the Hazor Law Code, and the Philistine Temple at Gath.

2009 represented the 200th Birthday of Charles Darwin and 150th anniversary of his book, On the Origin of Species. Universities, schools, and unfortunately, many churches are still having evolution and Darwin Celebration days. However, the nagging question is: Was Darwin Wrong? Has modern science really offered much to support Darwin's theory? Not just to be a party basher, Dave & Mary Jo Nutting give compelling reasons from biology and the fossil record why Evolution doesn't hold up.

The belief that the earth is billions of years old is an essential foundation for the theory of evolution. This belief was introduced to the Christian world by some very strange events.

Niels Stensen (1628-1686), Latinized to Nicolaus Steno, in 1666 moved from Denmark to Florence, then intellectual capital of Europe. He recognized rocks found on mountaintops, previously called "tongue stones," as fossil shark teeth and attributed them to the Biblical flood. He also described how mixed sediments deposited layers simultaneously, according to their density, in flowing water and subsequently consolidated into rock.

On November 2, 1667 while walking, he heard a woman's voice call to him telling him to cross the street to the house of one of his Catholic friends. He obeyed the voice and two days later, November 4, 1667, he made a formal conversion to the Roman Catholic faith. A year later he wrote the introduction to an anticipated larger work, published with the Catholic imprimatur in 1669, in which he ignored his previous evidence of simultaneous deposition and introduced what is now known as Steno's Law of Superposition, that the lower layers were laid down first.

Charles Lyell (1797-1875), the son of wealthy Scottish parents, while educated as a Christian, had difficulties with the Biblical miracles, especially with Noah and his Ark and looked for an alternative to the flood. He visited the Temple of Serapis at Pozzuoli where three remaining marble columns of the Roman temple remained. About half-way up each column were holes made by lithodomi, a small sea- dwelling crustacean. Clearly, this meant that after construction of the Temple, the land had sunk below sea level then had risen again. In fact, the land began to sink slowly in the third century AD, then, in 1538, quickly rose again during volcanic activity from nearby Mount Nuovo. Lyell was delighted because this clearly meant rising sea levels were unnecessary; here was evidence that it was the land that could sink and rise.

The Temple of Serapis became an icon of truth to Lyell and an illustration of it appeared as the frontispiece to all 12 editions of his book, The Principles of Geology. The first edition appeared in 1830-33. It was written for the layman and popular, yet there were critics because the evidence for land sinking and rising was confined to local volcanic areas. Then good fortune stepped in because it happened that in 1835, during his 5-year voyage, the young Charles Darwin (1809-1882) had first-hand experience of land elevation "twice the area of the Black Sea" during the earthquake at Concepcion, Chile, when the land had risen 5 to 15 feet. This was exactly the evidence Lyell needed to counter his critics.

In 1831 a young amateur scientist, Charles Darwin, boarded HMS Beagle on an epic five-year voyage of discovery.

2009 marks the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book, "Origin of Species". The Voyage that Shook the World retraces Darwin's journey, exploring the places and discoveries crucial to the formulation of his Theory of Evolution.

Filmed in South America, UK, North America, Australia and Europe, The Voyage features dramatic period recreations and stunning nature cinematography interwoven with scholars sharing their perspectives on the man and the controversy.

A fascinating and thought-provoking opportunity to gain new insight into The Voyage that Shook the World.

Dr. Charles Ailing is Professor of History at Northwestern College and holds a Ph.D. in Ancient History and Egyptology from the University of Minnesota.

Brian Young is a nationally known speaker, author, of several books, and founder of Creation Instruction Association. He has written for various magazines and journals. Brian also served as teacher and principal for 10 years. He currently speaks on creation vs. evolution, as well as scientific creation as a foundation for good science, theology and moral Living. He also debates in Universities.

Giant High Lights - Russ will be emphasizing giant animals (Mega Fauna) and how they fit into the Bible. He will explain how the mega Pterodactyl relates to Beowulf. He will be giving a Bible based commentary on the other museum exhibits listed on the flier linked below at St Paul and how they "Declare the Glory of God."

A colorful presentation by Russ McGlenn on literature that tells of ancient people killing dinosaurs. Featured will be dinosaur models and weapons used to slay dracans (dragons) the old English name for dinosaurs. When people studied Beowulf in high school, the traditional interpretation of the poem was that it was a fantasy about ancient Danish peoples and their fight with trolls. No one took it seriously. It was made into a movie a few years back that continued this myth. Bill Cooper, an English language scholar, has written a book called "After the Flood." He makes a good argument for Beowulf being a historical figure killing Dinosaurs as described in the poem. Russ will bring to life this incredible historical record using models, reenactments, and colorful Power Point slides. If you have a sword, dagger, shield, helmet and want to bring it to the meeting to display please do so (carefully) or want to come dressed in ancient battle gear. Two prizes will be given for the weapon that best fits Beowulf's dragon slayer sword or dagger and for the best costume.

One of the deepest and most controversial questions of our time is that of the origin of life. In this lecture a hypothesis is presented, according to which the temperature gradients existing in the earth - which led to plate tectonics and the formation of undersea thermal vents - also led to the evolution of life around these vents. Movies and data will be shown of experiments in which all stages of this scenario are presented: how thermal gradients led to plate tectonics, to DNA amplification in thermal vents, to polymerization of peptides at high pressure and to the organization of bacteria. This mixture of physics, chemistry, and biology illustrates how life could originate without the intervention of the sun, driven only by geophysical thermal gradients.

In the 150 years since Darwin's Origin of Species, thousands of investigators have studied the phenogenetic relationships, between genotypes and phenotypes, in plants, animals, and unicellular organisms. Interestingly, despite the greatness of his contributions, some of Darwin's most important questions remain problematic even today. The nature of genetic causation is one of them. Recent advances in technology have enabled very large studies to map the genetic basis of many traits, including normal variation and disease. However, except for what appear to be simple 'Mendelian' traits, these efforts have typically only been able to account for a fraction of the overall genetic contribution to the trait. What we see is a few genes with replicably detectable effects, such as between cases and controls. But most of the heritability seems to be due to hundreds of genes with variants that are rare or very rare, and that mainly make individually small contributions to the trait. This is a problem of many-to-many causation that fits a classical model in quantitative genetics and evolution. New analytic approaches are attempting to come to grips with this causal landscape by playing with ideas of hypothesis and other kinds of statistical testing in epistemologically interesting ways. Rather than enumerating causes, there is a desire to assemble them into causal networks, but how we find and use such constructs is itself a work in progress. However, if we consider the basic nature of cells, tissues, and organisms, and how they have evolved, we understand networks as complex systems of interaction of causal elements, most of which can vary but whose presence in time and space must be compatible. From this point of view, it is productive to think of organisms in terms of intricate cooperation rather than competition.

"Interview With The Creationist" (think "Interview With The Vampire")

Have you ever wondered what the Dead Sea Scrolls are and why there is so much controversy surrounding them? Alex Jassen reveals what exactly the scrolls are, where they come from, when they were composed, why they have become scandalous-and what they really contribute to our understanding of the Bible, Judaism, and Christianity. He will also provide background information on manuscripts to be featured in the Science Museum of Minnesota's upcoming exhibition on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Alex Jassen is assistant professor of early Judaism in the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies and a member of the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Minnesota. A member of the international editorial team for the Dead Sea Scrolls, he is the author of Mediating the Divine: Prophecy and Revelation in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Second Temple Judaism, winner of the 2009 John Templeton Award for Theological Promise. He is at work on a book on religious violence in the scrolls.

This Event is Free & Open to the Public

This series is made possible by a generous gift in memory of Julia K. & Harold Segall. Sponsoring Partners: Sabes Jewish Community Center, B'nai Emet Congregation, Upper Midwest Region Hadassah, Shari Chesed Congregation

Dr. Michael Wise, writes: "Alex is a very fine scholar and a friend of mine. I think people should attend, understanding, of course, that he will come from a Jewish perspective."

Why do cultures all over the world use the same constellations? If you were to step outside on a starry night, which dot-to-dot would you connect to make a constellation? What is surprising is that most cultures use the same star patterns. Why is that? And with these star patterns came a story. What is that ancient story? It is the gospel of Jesus Christ and this was "written" in the stars from the beginning.

Julie Von Vett has been teaching creation science at homeschool co-ops. Next year's lessons will be on the human body. She also has been a guest speaker at churches. Julie just loves to get the word out.

Galileo did himself in. True, he had help, whether from Paul V and Urban VIII, the Jesuits, the Dominicans, the Congregation of the Index or even the Inquisition, but his fate was still largely his own fault. This talk focuses on his two trials before the Roman Inquisition, first in 1615 and again in 1632, the second leading to his condemnation for violating an order given in 1616 to abandon the belief that the sun was the center of the universe. Unlike most previous approaches, mine does not assume that the outcome was inevitable. Nor does it assume that philosophical, scientific or even theological issues were necessarily determinative. Instead, it takes a legal and political approach beginning from the fact that Galileo arrogantly rejected a legal way out of his second trial. Since both of his investigations contained lots of legal oddities, examining the Inquisition's procedures (which have almost been ignored until very recently) leads to a much different picture than the still dominant view that Galileo was a victim of intolerance and superstition. Unfortunately, the Vatican's recent proposal to reopen the case (including yet another publication of its acts) rests on at least two fundamental misunderstandings of Inquisition procedure: the fact that three cardinals and the pope did not sign Galileo's sentence is insignificant. Popes never signed sentences and at least some of the cardinals often did not. Some sentences were signed only by the Inquisition's commissary. Despite Urban's missing signature, in both trials the pope's role turns out to be vital. But equally, in both cases Paul and Urban had to at least bend if not break the rules in order to bring Galileo to book. He gave them both plenty of provocation.

Cosponsored by the Center for Early Modern History.

ORIGINS OF MAN

This talk takes a look at the origins of man and a look at evolutionary lack of evidence. Subjects include: we all look at the evidence in different ways (same evidence -- different bias), human evolution chart, Neanderthal man, Ramapithecus, Java man, Australopithecus (Lucy), Laetoli ash fields, Piltdown man, and Nebraska man. A goal here is to teach children to recognize artwork and to ask the question, "What's the Evidence?" The evidence does not point to evolution, but to Biblical Creation as the better answer! With adult audiences may also include a short talk about how old is the earth and problems with the dating methods used today.

Lanny and Marilyn Johnson are former evolutionists trained in the sciences. Creation teaching was instrumental in bringing them to a settled assurance that all of God's Word can be trusted. In 1993, God led them to join Alpha Omega Institute and establish the Children's Ministry to fortify children with the truth of the Bible and to help them avoid the pitfalls of evolution.

Special Technical Meeting
Fibonacci Numbers & The Divine Proportion, The Hand of God

Paul tells us in Romans, chapter one, the more you look at creation, the more you're going to see God. When we study the evidence in the world around us it becomes obvious that Somebody made this universe. A look at fascinating Fibonacci numbers and the Divine Proportion are just one more example of the endless incredible design found everywhere in nature -- design that could never happen by the chance and accident of evolution. The evidence it is clear that it is "God that made the world and all things therein," (Acts 17:24a). Only the hand of God could create such marvelous wonders that we find around us!

Brian Young, a nationally known speaker and author of Doubts about Creation? Not After This!; Genesis: Yesterday's Answers to Today's Problems; Revelation: All of God's Word Revealed; and others, is the founder and director of CIA. He served as a principal and teacher of Christian schools for ten years before becoming a full time evangelist in the Creation ministry. He does jail and nursing home ministry as well as weekly street evangelism along with speaking around the country on the important issue of Creation versus evolution. His topics cover a wide range of areas in which he has done research; while at the same time, stresses Biblical Creationism as the foundation for good education and theology.

Anything but a boring lecture, the exciting, entertaining and educational approach of the Creation Instruction Association will present "Dinosaurs, The Ice-Age and the Pre-Flood World" which will answer all the basic creation questions and touch on some more in-depth topics that are commonly addressed with the creation/evolution debate. With much humor and hundreds of PowerPoint slides Brian Young will discuss the age of the earth and its implications on the Gospel, dinosaurs and their relation to the Bible and Noah's Ark, the origin of races and their intellectual abilities, possible scientific theories to explain how people could live to be 900 years old before the Flood, address inconsistencies and illogical reasonings of evolution and much more. Questions will be welcomed and various books and DVD's will be available as well.

In 1967 Egypt was defeated militarily by Israel in a devastating war that lasted six days. Some likened it to the victory Moses had over Pharaoh as seen in the book of Exodus. What happened to modern Egypt pales by comparison when one looks at the literary and archeological evidence of the Exodus and how many people died as a result of the plagues God brought on Egypt.

Why is there a blackout in modern literature on what happened to Egypt in the Exodus?

Why was a mummy identified by modern scholars as "Unknown Man E" described as the most unusual mummy every discovered from any period of Egyptian history?

Is this the son of the Pharaoh who died in the last plague that God sent on Egypt during the Exodus?

Is there any scientific evidence that Egypt was affected by a catastrophic event such as described in the Bible?

What happened to the Egyptian leadership and people after Moses left with the Hebrews?

Using several ancient manuscripts, archeological records, and over 75 colorful photos of Egyptian life, Russ will answer these questions and more to show evidence outside the Bible that corroborates the greatest disaster ever to affect Egypt.

"Following the Evidence"

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Nazareth Hall Chapel (The Building Near The Lake)

Follow the Evidence: When evolutionists say that the "evidence proves" their theory, are they correct?

What exactly is "evidence"? "Proof"? "Truth"? What are "facts"? Take a look at how a criminal investigator collects, collates and evaluates evidence in our system of jurisprudence, and how that evidence is treated in a trial. Examine the use of logic, both inductive and deductive, and the application of sound reasoning.

What would convince you that evolution is true? What would convince you that intelligent design is true?

For the environmental movement, besides climate change and overpopulation, oil shortage takes a prominent place in their list of crises. And if you think that oil takes millions of years to form and the earth can only be saved by enlightened human beings, then the cause might be reasonable, although probably hopeless. Russ McGlenn will show that hope comes only from a very different direction and a perspective so old that it seems radical.

What does the scientific evidence say? Are we running out of oil? Will wind and solar power replace coal, oil and nuclear power? Is "peak oil" a real issue or a worldview problem?

The Biblical view is that God has provided enough energy to last until Christ's return. We are charged with stewardship of the earth but also told that most of all, God loves people and provides for their needs. Utopian ideas that increase the suffering of "the least of these" cannot be God’s will.

Mr. Broadberry is a Trustee of CSM (Creation Science Movement), Portsmouth UK. CSM, originally the Evolution Protest Movement, is the oldest Creation Organisation in the world.

"Monkey Business - The History and Status of Man's Ancestor"

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Totino Fine Arts Center, Room 116

Why does almost every report on the latest "human ancestor fossil" include the sentence: "This causes major rethinking of human ancestry"? No other area of science seems to need to much rewriting with each subsequent discovery. Just how scientific and objective are the conclusions that get reported in museums, textbooks, and popular magazines? Who is this elusive apeman?

The talk reveals how this subject is the perfect opening for talking to Christians and non-Christians alike about Biblical reality, why they can trust the Biblical view of history, and their need for a Savior. From the latest fossil finds to the historical blunders, this talk shows how the misinterpretation of Genesis has had a domino effect leading even Christians to accept outrageous "ape-fool-ary" which undermines the Christian faith.

"Mad Cow Disease (Human Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease):
Can ducks and venison turn my brain into a sponge?"

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Totino Fine Arts Center, Room 116

This devastating disease, which destroys the brain, is caused by the abnormal folding of a protein. It is a perfect example of the incredible complexity of life and why random changes cannot improve it. If we have trouble refolding a map, how can time and chance perform the intricate folding necessary for the three dimensional structure and function of this relatively small protein. And it is only one of at least 30 thousand proteins necessary for life, many of them far more complex.

Jill Whitlock We have been informed of the sudden death of Jill Whitlock on December 29, 2007 at age 57 in Ft. Meyers Florida. She was an author, home educator and speaker on creation topics. Jill was the first female geologist in Denver and the third ever trained at Texas A & M University. A former evolutionary geologist, she had for the past 18 years applied her expertise in studying, compiling and communicating information on Creation Science. She home schooled her own children and providied excellent resources for other home schoolers including the website Media Angels.) She served on the staff of Creation Studies Institute, www.creationstudies.org headed by Tom DeRosa and affiliated with James Kennedy's Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. She was co-author of Creation teaching books on Science, Astronomy, Anatomy, Geology and more. Jill Whitlock originally believed that evolution was the way life and the world began. She was trained as an evolutionist and worked as a geologist for 10 years after graduating from Texas A & M University. She worked as a Chief Well Log Analyst for the Rocky Mountain Region and as Senior Staff Exploration Geologist for an oil company in Denver, Colorado. Jill accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior in December 1983 and began praying and studying about the creation vs evolution question. The Lord was faithful and brought many people into her path who started her on the way to becoming a Flood Geologist and a young earth Creationist. She will be greatly missed but the materials she produced will be a lasting legacy as she rests in the presence of her Creator.

"Darwin's 'Evolution Revolution': Its Impact on Science, Education, Crime/Punishment, Poverty, Business, and Life & Death Issues"

Christ Presbyterian Church, Room 204, Edina, Minnesota (At Highway 100 and 70th St.)

Cost $15; Register by calling 612.789.8811, ext. 204 or email mary{at}mfc.org.

The Darwininian worldview has impacted critical areas of life, including education, politics, and the study of science with its "evolving" standards of right and wrong, an "evolving constitution," and the stifling of free speech. The National Science Education Standards and the Benchmarks for Science Literacy from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) require teaching evolution as "a unifying concept for science." What is the impact of stifling genuine academic and scientific criticism of Darwin in the classroom and in the fields of science, history, civics, geography, and sex education?

Dr. John G. West is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and associate director of the institute's Center for Science and Culture. Formerly the chairman of the Department of Political Science and Geography at Seattle Pacific University, West holds a Ph.D. in government from Claremont Graduate University and is the author or editor of several books, including Darwin's Conservatives: The Misguided Quest and The Politics of Revelation and Reason. He has been interviewed frequently by the national media, including Time, Newsweek, and the New York Times, and has appeared on CNN, Fox News, and C-SPAN.

Dr. West is regularly interviewed by the newsmedia on science education policy issues involving evolution and intelligent design, and his comments have been featured in such publications as Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, USA Today, and the Associated Press. He has also appeared on Fox News, CNN, and C-SPAN, and his articles have been published by USA Today, The Dallas Morning News, The Indianapolis Star, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, National Review Online, FoxNews.com, Policy Review, and many other publications.

"Revealing the Fingerprints of God in Creation and History"

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Totino Fine Arts Center, Room 116

Evidence for the existence of God can be seen in the natural world and in history. Can these be persuasive to the professional community? Are they of any help to lead unbelievers to consider faith in Jesus Christ? The focus of this presentation is on a strategy for integrating these fingerprints of God in the service of evangelism.

Dr. Bierle holds M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in the life sciences and an M.A. in New Testament Studies. An academic dean and college professor for nearly 25 years, he is skilled at communicating complex subjects in a clear, original, and fascinating way.

October 30- Nov 3, 2007
University of Minnesota and Maranatha. Dave and Mary Jo Nutting
Alpha Omega Institute

Description of Presentations:

Oct 30: Blind Chance or Intelligent Design? Was Darwin Wrong? (Dave & Mary Jo Nutting)
Smith Hall 331 (U of M) @ 7:00pm

Are the traditional "proofs" of evolution really evidence of time, chance, and natural processes, or is there a better explanation? Former evolutionary college instructors examine the evidence and show why they switched. This beautifully illustrated program helps you ask the right questions and not be taken in by "accepted" scientific dogma. A time of Q and A will follow the presentation.

Oct 31: It's a War Out There! Fossils, Strata, and Worldviews (Dave Nutting) Maranatha Christian Church - 315 10th Ave. SE. Mminneapolis 55414 at 7:00pm

There is a battle of worldviews raging in this country and these ideas have consequences. In this lively, fully-illustrated presentation, a former evolutionist shows why he believes the fossils present devastating evidence against evolution. He teaches participants how to ask the right questions, identify underlying assumptions, and recognize the logical implications of their beliefs. A time of Q & A will follow the presentation.

Nov 1: It's About Time! -- A Creationist View of Geology and Time (Dave Nutting) Smith Hall 331 (University of Minnesota) at 7:00pm

Are those rocks really that old? Join geologist, Dave Nutting, as he leads you on a virtual field trip through the American west and other parts of the world.

Enjoy fantastic scenery while gaining insight into the story behind the rocks. Dave will share from research and field study how deep canyons, giant ripple marks, massive gravel deposits, enormous "now dry" waterfalls, and other fascinating features all point to catastrophic floods in the not-so-distant past. After this visual tour, you will see geology and traditional age-dating methods through different eyes! This entertaining, fast-paced, and informative presentation is Dave's "hot button." A time of Q & A will follow the presentation.

Nov 2: Dinosaurs and the Bible ? Jurassic Park or Genesis Ark? (Dave Nutting) Smith Hall 331 (University of Minnesota) at 7:00pm

Ancient artwork and artifacts from around the world depict creatures that look like dinosaurs. Did these ancient artists base their artwork on dinosaurs they had actually seen? Join "Dinosaur Dave" Nutting as he paints a new view of dinosaurs -- one usually not taught in museums, schools, or books. Using vivid color visuals, Dave presents the evidence and a view of dinosaurs that is actually consistent with the Bible. Bring your skeptical friends!

Nov 3: Stand Firm and Advance

Maranatha Christian Church - 315 10th Ave. SE. Mpls. 55414 @ 7:00pm

The evidence is on the side of the Christian. So what are you going to do with it? Scripture tells us to "not be taken captive by philosophy," to "stand firm," and to "be ready to make a defense." We need to pay close attention to theses passages, however, the Bible also encourages us to go on the offensive, ie to take ground. Using many high quality visuals and drawing on lessons from nature, and his experiences as a creation speaker for more than 25 years, Dave gives insights into how to proceed so that the "Gates of Hell shall not prevail."

Speaker Bios (Dave and Mary Jo Nutting)

Dave Nutting is the co-founder and director of Alpha Omega Institute. AOI is an organization with a mission to teach the evidence of creation and its relevance throughout the world. Dave has been giving creation seminars at churches, universities, public and private schools for over 20 years.

Jerry Roth I was informed on September 23 by phone from Jerry Roth's son that Jerry died in a plane crash in McMinn County, Tennessee. Jerry is a former president and board member of TCCSA. One of Jerry's hobbies was flying an ultra-light two seat aircraft, a Kolb MK2, which he had built himself. He was alone in the aircraft when it crashed on Saturday, September 22. He was 72. The FAA preliminary statement indicated a strong possibility that he died before the crash. Witnesses said the plane went straight down. His plane had an emergency parachute in case of problems, and it was not used. Jerry had used it once while living here in Minnesota, and he said it resulted in a nice soft landing. Pray for his family. Bob Helfinstine

* For those who accept the standard theory (Einstein) see what you're "up against"
* For those who are interested in the religious/philosophical implications of modern physics
* For those interested in learning the superiority of classical physics

Suggested donation $3.00

Dr. Lucas writes:
For the PowerPoint presentation I will display my derived universal force law, describe the derivation of the force of gravity from it and show the resulting formulas for gravity with some new terms never previously seen in the scientific literature. Then I will describe the implications of the new theory of gravity including the notion of gravity decay and the new terms. Next I will present a lot of data (expansion of the earth, planets, and moons, Hubble's law, quantizied redshifts, universal decay of redshifts, etc.) that appears to confirm the new theory of decaying gravity and show that the additional new terms are fully supported by astronomical data and lead to the quantization of gravity. Finally I will show the implications of the decay of gravity for global warming, the origin of Noah's flood, the receding of the waters of the flood, the division of the continents, and the future melting of the continents and burning up of the works of man. Also I will point out the origin of rain, clouds, rainbow, smaller animals and plants today compared to preflood, shorter lifespans today compared to preflood, etc.

I have made great progress in my theory of gravity. I can now explain the Tulley-Fisher relationship for the luminosity of spiral galaxies, the observed quantization of the luminosity of spiral galaxies, the velocity of outer stars in spiral galaxies, and the size of spiral galaxies reminiscent of Bode's Law , and the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) to explain the high outer rotation velocities of spiral galaxies instead of using dark matter and dark energy. The electrodynamic theory of gravity has far outstripped Newton's Universal Theory of Gravitation and Einstein's General Relativity Theory. Best regards,

"Non-Dualism, can you pit Buddhism against Quantum Physics?
Or do they say the same thing?"

Betsy's Back Porch Coffee
5447 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis , MN 55419

Website: https://philosophy.meetup.com/181/calendar/6045154/

When we observe anything, we change it on a sub-atomic level - so everything is inseparable thought. If everything is oneness as quantum physics and Buddhism say duality is a myth - and nothing that exists can but be perceived, and perception only occurs in a duality of Newtonian subject-object or dualistic world - everything perceived thus is also a myth to the extent that a tree falling in the wood unobserved does not make a sound just as radio waves passing us unobsererved do not make a sound when we lack the proper observational/receiving tools - so a world unsensed does not exist - so if duality is a myth, all that is perceved does not exist, and our perceiving receiver, the mind - must also therefore not exist - or else it is something other than what we believe it to be, in our dualistic myth of "reality".

When asked to list the evidence for Darwinian evolution, most people--including most biologists--give the same set of examples, because all of them learned biology from the same few textbooks. The most common examples:

*a laboratory flask containing a simulation of the earth's primitive atmosphere, in which electric sparks produce the chemical building-blocks of living cells;
*the evolutionary tree of life, reconstructed from a large and growing body of fossil and molecular evidence;
*similar bone structures in a bat's wing, a porpoise's flipper, a horse's leg, and a human hand that indicate their evolutionary origin in a common ancestor;
*pictures of similarities in early embryos showing that amphibians, reptiles, birds and human beings are all descended from a fish-like animal;
*Archaeopteryx, a fossil bird with teeth in its jaws and claws on its wings, the missing link between ancient reptiles and modern birds;
*peppered moths on tree trunks, showing how camouflage and predatory birds produced the most famous example of evolution by natural selection;
*Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands, thirteen separate species that diverged from one when natural selection produced differences in their beaks, and that inspired Darwin to formulate his theory of evolution;
*fruit flies with an extra pair of wings, showing that genetic mutations can provide the raw materials for evolution;
*a branching-tree pattern of horse fossils that refutes the old-fashioned idea that evolution was directed; and
*drawings of ape-like creatures evolving into humans, showing that we are just animals and that our existence is merely a by-product of purposeless natural causes.

These examples are so frequently used as evidence for Darwin's theory that most of them have been called "icons" of evolution. Yet all of them, in one way or another, misrepresent the truth.

"Grand Canyon: A Different View"

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Nazareth Hall Chapel (The Building Near The Lake

In 1980, while managing a corporate computer center in downtown Los Angeles, Tom Vail took a vacation that would prove to be a turning point in his life - a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon.

Two years later he left the corporate world behind and became a career rafting guide. Tom has worked as a commercial guide since then and as a part-time guide for the Grand Canyon National Park Service. He is a past elected member of the board of directors for Grand Canyon River Guides.

Tom's time in the Canyon would not only lead to a career he loves, it also brought about a spiritual change in his life. In 1994, Tom became a Christian and the following year, he and his wife Paula started Canyon Ministries, which offers Christ-centered rafting trips through the Grand Canyon. Besides their own trips, they run Canyon tours for both Answers in Genesis and Institute for Creation Research, the two largest creation science ministries in the country. Tom and His wife Paula live in Phoenix, AZ.

In his book, Grand Canyon: A Different View, Tom combines the stunning photography of fellow Canyon guide Charly Heavenrich with the compelling commentaries of some of the leading creation science writers, researchers, and theologians of our time. The Canyon is shown from the largest geological wonders to the smallest flora, all intricate parts of God's hand at work. Join us as he shares with you how the Grand Canyon provides evidence for a global Flood and is a living testimony to God's word - all part of an important Biblical message.

Tom Vail's book on the Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon: A Different View, ignited a firestorm of controversy, resulting in stories in many national news outlets, including the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, NBC Nightly News, the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angles Times, The Chicago Tribune, National Public Radio, the 700 Club and National Geographic.

The author, a 25-year veteran Grand Canyon river guide, will speak on the controversy, the Biblical message of the Grand Canyon, and how his view of the Canyon changed after becoming a Christian. Learn how the Grand Canyon supports Scripture.

Background of the Controversy

Grand Canyon: A Different View features essays from 23 contributors, including 17 scientists, 14 of whom hold PhDs in their respective fields, as well as creationist researchers and theologians. It presents a 'young earth,' creationist perspective on the origins of the canyon. The book, which was compiled by Vail, recounts the changing of his own beliefs about the canyon's origins. The book came under fire from seven of the major "science" organizations for around the country who say the book should be removed from the bookstores at Grand Canyon National Park.

You've read about him in the NY Times... you've see him on a recent National Geographic special... you may have even "run the river" with him. Now, meet and hear best-selling author and Grand Canyon river guide Tom Vail, live and in person!

Tom has been guiding trips thru the Grand Canyon for over two decades. In 1996 Tom became a Christian and his entire worldview changed... from that of seeing the canyon as a result of millions of years of evolutionary geology to one of looking at it thru 'God's eyes'... the result of Noah's worldwide flood and God's judgment on a fallen world. In 2003 Tom wrote the book Grand Canyon a different view which quickly rose to prominence in the national park's bookstores.

One Saturday in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made final repairs and adjustments to their aircraft. This was the culmination of four years' work by the brothers. Next morning, the aircraft was ready and wind conditions were perfect, but there would be no flight that day. It was Sunday - the Lord's day -- and neither Wilbur nor Orville worked on the Lord's day.

Finally, on Thursday, December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville achieved their goal - the world's first powered flight. Orville flew the Wright Flyer a distance of 37 meters (120 feet) staying aloft for 12 seconds, Later the same day Wilbur flew about 260 meters (852 feet) in a flight lasting 59 seconds.

Wilbur and Orville had both received Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour during their youth. Throughout their own lives, they refused to work on the Lord's day, and they did not drink, smoke or gamble. The level of co-operation between Wilbur and Orville was truly remarkable, even during their somewhat loud debates over possible solutions to problems. They remained cheerful while experiencing danger and physical hardship. They were not dependent on praise and recognition for their motivation, and when fame and fortune finally came, they retained their humility.

The Christian character displayed by the Wright brothers was evident to those around them. Co-founder of the Rolls Royce Motor Company, C. S. Rolls, gave the following description of Wilbur and Orville:

"They have lived through continual accusations of bluff; through disbelief and ridicule and have been unaffected. Now they have seen the sudden turn of popular opinion and have sprung to fame; but they are still equally pursuing their daily work with their own hands in their own quiet way."

And what was their father's explanation for these enviable characteristics displayed by Wilbur and Orville?

"He never tired of relating the positive effect that the Bible had on his children."

The Wright brothers used intelligence, experience, and ingenuity to design their aircraft. They allowed chance to play no part. From studying God's creation in the form of bird flight, they were helped to develop their own creation of a better aircraft. If we marvel at how great their achievement was, how much more should we give glory to the Creator who designed flight in the first place.

A number of recent findings cast grave doubts on conventional uniformitarian geology.

--Measurable Carbon 14 in coal, oil, and fossils thought to be tens to hundreds of millions of years old (and should therefore have no measurable Carbon 14).

--The residual Helium content determinations found in rocks with that exhibit radioactive decay (and should have long ago diffused out of the rocks).

--The pleochroic halos radioactivity evidence.

This presentation is designed for general audiences. However, he is very capable of fielding the technical questions, since he is involved in part of the actual research and as a member of the RATE team.

Abstract: That nuclear decay rates have remained invariant throughout the history of our Earth and solar system is taken for granted and is a key assumption that allows radioisotope dating methods to provide what are understood to be absolute ages, usually within small levels of uncertainty. In this talk I will review some new evidence that calls this assumption into question. The first line of evidence involves the retention levels of radiogenic helium in zircon crystals in granite. In brief, we find that up to 80% of the helium generated by 1.5 billion years worth of 238U decay (at presently measured decay rates)-as attested by the level of radiogenic 206Pb lead-is still contained in these zircons. The rate of helium diffusion in zircon constrains the elapsed time since the bulk of this helium was generated to be dramatically less than 1.5 billion years. A second line of evidence is the discovery that mature Po radiohalos are relatively common in Phanerozoic-age granites. The final three alpha decay steps in the series from 238U to 206Pb involve isotopes of Po. The half-lives of these three Po isotopes are extremely short-3 minutes, 64 s, and 138 days. To generate sufficient concentrations of Po to produce mature Po halos there had to be an extreme rate of Po production, presumably through the decay of nearby 238U. These Po halos have no central zircon or other 238U-bearing inclusion and none of the rings from the 238U series Po precursors. A third line of evidence is the ubiquitous presence of 14C in coal and other fossil organic materials from deep within the Phanerozoic record and also its apparent presence in natural diamonds. Given the brief lifetime of 14C, whatever the means this 14C came to exist within these materials, it must have occurred recently. These three lines of evidence appear to be consistent with the conjecture that rates of nuclear decay processes have been accelerated during one or more episodes in the past.

From An Evolutionary Point Of View

Northwestern College, 3003 North Snelling, Roseville Minnesota
Nazareth Hall Chapel

In the phenomenon of the "Idiot Savant," persons who are retarded, autistic or otherwise mentally disabled, there occasionally are seen flashes of incredible mental ability. Does this give us a glimpse into the overall intelligence of Adam and Eve and their early descendants, before the deterioration initiated by sin eroded the genetics of all living creatures? Evolution is unable to explain what has been termed "overdesign" of the brain. Although these exceptional abilities enrich human life, they do not enhance survival.

Geology and the assumption of an ancient age for the earth have been used as a wedge to cast doubt on God's Word for over 200 years. Many believe Mt. St. Helens was God's wake-up call to the geological and compromising Christian communities. This highly visual presentation shows the results of the type of earth reshaping forces which were happening during and subsequent to the worldwide flood. Although the significance of Mt. St. Helens is well known to creationists, the majority of Christians do not have a clue how powerfully this event shatters the assumptions of evolution. If you know pastors, Christian friends, or non-believers who do not comprehend the significance of creation to Christianity, this is an unforgettable presentation you WILL want to encourage them to attend.

The Great State of Kansas is no stranger to controversy. It became a flashpoint for the battle over slavery 150 years ago. The conflict then included not only words and concepts, but dirty tricks and violence by outside agitators. Freedom for the slaves did not come without hardship, sacrifice and ultimately a bloody war. Those who oppose truth do not relinquish their power quietly or willingly.

Dr. Simat was among the team of scientists who went to Kansas in May of 2005, opposing the Kansas evolution teaching guidelines. The team strategically never mentioned Intelligent Design but simply asked that evidence contrary to evolution be presented to students. This means that they were calling for true education as opposed to indoctrination. The opposition, called "Kansas Citizens for Science," responded by attacking the credibility of the speakers, claiming that they were not scientific and misrepresenting the issues. They then proceeded with backroom political manipulation to replace the elected school board with those sympathetic to evolution.

This issue had previously come up in 2002 at which time there was a world-wide outcry from the scientific-academic establishment, claiming that unsophisticated backwoods mentally deficient religious bigots in the US heartland were about to plunge us all into another dark ages. They predicted school takeovers by flat earth societies and witch hunts. Ironically, the evolutionists are the ones doing their own version of witch hunts.

Dr Bruce Simet has a Masters and PhD from the University of Minnesota in Biochemistry and Physiology. He worked for the US Government Research Center at the Veterans Hospital in Minneapolis and then for Abbott Laboratories in Chicago. He has also done research for Kallestad Laboratories and Sanfoni Diagnostics Pasteur before accepting the position of Associate Professor of Biology at Northwestern College.
