Enjoy some pictures from the summer fairs

Calvary Chapel Madison plays a big part in the booth in Dane County. What a privilege to share God's Word with the hundreds of families, teens, college students and adults and  kids. We pray the Lord brings fruit from our work.

Krista loved answering questions as kids spun the wheel. 

We are an interactive booth. Would you like a dinosaur tattoo? or a pressed penny with a butterfly on it? or would you like to look at some fossils or a replica of Noah's Ark? Take a look at a feather or butterfly wing under the microscope?  Look at the human and chimp skull; mankind was created with uniqueness and special purpose!

Dad and son look in the microscope and discover complexity in nature that can only be explained by: 'In the beginning, God..."

Isaac and Crystal talking to folks and giving out resources

Final evening of State Fair. People kept coming and coming...

Some folks just want to look from afar. It might be the first authoritative statement about Biblical Creation they have encountered.  

"My muscles are strong enough to squish a penny". Did she chose the penny with Noah's Ark that states: "Noah's Ark, salvation from the judgement of the flood; Jesus Christ, salvation from our sin."?

Yes, the Biblical Flood explains the sedimentary layers and the formation of petrified wood.

Yes, those sedimentary layers were laid down during The Flood!

Randy talking to some young women.

Sheboygan County Fair. It's the best booth at the fair!

Pastor Richard loves to talk to kids about dinosaurs and the Bible....and Jesus!

Global Flood Evidences-a quick review

Check this out! Yes, the Biblical Flood was real.

New Friends in the Booth

Check out our newest display for the What's the Evidence? fairbooth. We plan to highlight the differences between man and animal and emphasis that man was created in God's image with very unique design and capabilities. Because man was created in God's image he has the responsibility to serve his Creator. Yet, God gives us a choice about who we will serve. We hope you choose Him!
It's been a lot of fun learning about this. Come visit us and learn, too.
The video below discusses the uniqueness of man:

That's a Fact

There are several topics folks get confused about when it comes to "evidence" for evolution.
ICR (Institute for Creation Research) has put out some short (under two minutes), very informative videos. Topics include: Human Evolution, Climate Change, Junk DNA, Noah's Flood, Whale Evolution, the Big Bang, Population Growth, Carbon-14 Dating, Dinosaur Tracks, Cell origin and MORE.

Schism in Evolutionary Theory Opens Creationist Opportunity

Evolutionary biology is experiencing its most serious division over the structure of evolutionary theory since the development of the Modern Synthesis nearly 100 years ago. Last November, Great Britain’s prestigious Royal Society (The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge) held a conference to deliberate if evolutionary theory needs to be “extended” or even renovated to accommodate fresh ideas from new discoveries. The article Schism and Synthesis at the Royal Society in the current issue of Trends in Ecology & Evolution by a conference organizer explains why “the discussion witnessed little meeting of minds.”1

The vital importance of this conference was framed in the science journal Nature in a point-counterpoint-style article, “Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?”2 They note that “researchers are divided over what processes should be considered fundamental.” A division over basic processes at the core of any theory suggests that the theory is incomplete, based on misleading research, or broken.

One researcher advocating for a major revision in evolutionary theory (modestly labeled the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, or EES) is Kevin Laland of the University of St. Andrews. He said that “the data supporting our position gets stronger every day. Yet the mere mention of the EES often evokes an emotional, even hostile, reaction among evolutionary biologists. Too often, vital discussions descend into acrimony, with accusations of muddle or misrepresentation.”2 The bitterness, per Laland, is generated since “this is no storm in an academic tearoom, it is a struggle for the very soul of the discipline.”

Digging Past the Doubts

Today most archaeologists claim that no evidence supports the Bible’s claims about many Old Testament events. There is a problem, but it’s not with the evidence.

Have you ever tried to share your faith and heard these ominous words? “But archaeology has disproved the Bible!” If you haven’t, it’s coming soon. As our Western culture increasingly abandons all semblance of Christianity, more and more people think the Bible is just a bunch of myths.

Perhaps you’ve been taught to respond confidently: “Recent discoveries have forced archaeologists to admit the reliability of Old Testament history.” But the answer is much more complicated than that. In fact, most experts are now saying just the opposite. They’ve been looking very hard for evidence of biblical events, but nothing has turned up, they say.

So if you don’t know how to respond to these questions, your gospel presentation could effectively end right there. Answers really do matter.

The short answer is encouraging. Archaeologists have found evidence that supports the Bible, but many times the evidence is ignored because of preconceptions about the Bible’s historicity, or their dates or places are wrong for the biblical events. The longer answer is even more exciting. Any supposed contradictions turn out to be human errors, not Bible errors. Consider five of the most common examples.

1. Tower of Babel
2. Sodom & Gomorrah
3. Israelite Slavery in Egypt
4. Conquest of Jericho
5. Conquest of Ai

'RNA World' Paper Retracted

by Jeffrey P. Tomkins, Ph.D. *

Evidence for Creation › Evidence from Science › Evidence from the Life Sciences › All Life Systems Were Created by God › DNA Was Created as a Reservoir for the Information of Life

The whole concept of how life originated is an insurmountable naturalistic hurdle. Life requires DNA, RNA, and protein in an interdependent triad in which each molecule is wholly dependent on the other two to exist. It’s worse than a chicken and egg scenario. Furthermore, since each type of molecule carries and conveys complex encoded information, an intelligent information provider is the only logical cause of this information source. Code implies a coder.

Shortly after the largely unfruitful origin of life research on amino acids by Miller and Urey in the 1950s,1scientist Alex Rich speculated in 1962 that RNA may have been the first biomolecule to spontaneously evolve. That first RNA biomolecule would possibly have both informational and enzymatic properties, thus omitting the original necessity of DNA and proteins.2 This idea slowly gained traction and eventually became more popular in the 1980s with discoveries that some types of RNA were involved in enzymatic-like reactions in the complex processing of RNA transcribed from genes. One of the main researchers in these discoveries was Scott Gilbert who coined the term “RNA World.”3

Since the late 1980s, researchers explored many aspects of the evolutionary possibilities related to RNA being the first biomolecule, but have found nothing but obstacles including no method of spontaneously forming RNA or its nucleotide building blocks. In fact, a secular scientist published a 2012 paper expressing this great frustration titled, “The RNA world hypothesis: the worst theory of the early evolution of life (except for all the others).”4
