SEMINAR TOPICS

 

 

The regular line-up of sessions is included here along with the time each normally takes in the church-related settings. 

•  The Pillars of Evolution – In this session we define “science”, and illustrate the scientific method of problem solving.  In the light of true science, the three main concepts that the theory of evolution is based upon are examined and shown to be faith-based rather than science-based.  The purpose of this session is not only to show that science does not support evolutionary theory, but also to give Christians some “tools” with which to combat the theory.  (1 hour)
 

  • Aunt Lucy? – What evidence is there that humans evolved from ape-like creatures?  As it turns out, not much!  In fact, the “evidence” is stunningly sparse, being limited to a few fossilized bones.  However, many of these are either fakes, or greatly misinterpreted and exaggerated.  This session uses humor as it exposes much of this.   (45 minutes)  
     

  • The Hunters and the Hunted - Part 1 – Animal life, in all of its fascinating aspects, provides the verification for creation.  Romans 1:20 indicates that there is so much evidence available by studying anything in the natural world around us, that there is no excuse for not believing it.  Part 1 of this series takes a look at certain intriguing animals, considers the size of creatures relative to their environment, and introduces instinct as absolute proof against the random and unexplained presumptions of evolution.  (35 minutes) 
     

  • The Hunters and the Hunted - Part 2 – Part 2 is a continuation of the themes of Part 1, and is a “world-wide photo safari” of creatures that defy the evolution scenario.  (35 minutes) 
     

  • The Return to Genesis – This is a look at why the Genesis record is so vital to a sound understanding, not only of the origins of the world as we know it, but also of the major New Testament doctrines.  We show why the creation days were literal, 24-hour periods - not millions of years.  This session also includes a contrast of the results of a society that teaches evolution as opposed to the creation model.  (40-45 minutes)  
     

  • The Horror of the Flood! – Could you explain where the water for a world-wide flood would have come from, and     where it all went?!  Understanding the flood (the purpose, the causes, the aftermath and the evidence) is very important to a biblically sound creation model.  This session covers all the basics about this event, and also includes a video and PowerPoint presentation on the “Hydroplate Theory”, a biblically accurate and scientifically feasible portrayal of the “how” of the flood event.    (1 hour)  
     

  • The Mystery of the Dinosaurs – A hot topic for today! This session provides a biblical alternative to the standard explanation for these creatures, and answers the basic questions everyone has on the subject - What were dinosaurs? When did they really live? What really happened to them? Does the Bible talk about them?, etc.    (1 hour) 
     

  • Lost Secrets of the Ancient Civilizations – The biblical and the secular views of the origins of man are diametrically opposed to each other, as are the two views of man’s activities in the past.  Ancient civilizations indicate a high level of accomplishment - something to be expected if we were created “good” at the beginning, but labeled “mysterious” by those who believe in a four-million-year process.  However,  all great civilizations of the past have collapsed.  Why?  Does the Bible have anything to say about this?  (45 minutes) 

There are other topics, listed below, that can be added.

  • Fearfully & Wonderfully Made – Geared more toward children, and thematically similar to sessions 2 and 3, this is a look at fascinating aspects of the human body. (two 30-minute segments)  

  • Are Birds Highly Evolved Dinosaurs? – This session tackles this issue that’s popular today and is based on the findings of certain fossils, particularly those coming from China.  No, birds are not highly evolved dinosaurs, and this session tells why. (1 hour)

  • Was the Flood Global, or just Localized? – The title says it all.  This session shows why the flood was indeed global and answers some of the main criticisms and arguments to the contrary. (1 hour)

  • Spiders! – Repulsive beasts, right?  Perhaps, but spiders have incredible abilities.  They are marvels of design and very beneficial to mankind.  This session takes a fun and fascinating look at these creatures in a new light.  (Will you hesitate to squish the ones you see in your house after seeing this session?……no, probably not!)  (1 hour)

  • Copycat! – Man has invented many incredible machines over the years, most of which serve specific purposes.  However, in many cases, man did not originate the invention – God did!  He created creatures that can do amazing things, and man has found ways of copying nature for his own benefit.(1 hour)

  • How "Evolutionized" are you? - This is a multiple-choice quiz! - designed as an interactive activity for a whole group.  Twenty questions are placed on a screen, with various possible answers.  Sometimes the correct answer will surprise you.  Designed as an enjoyable activity, it will also help to sharpen what you really know about the creation issue.

How are these seminars conducted?

These are not dry lectures.  Our approach is to make this as interesting and understandable as possible so the information will be remembered.  We use PowerPoint, video, puppets (and other props) and sometimes live animal demonstrations.  The use of props and humor add to the interest.
