Evolution's Achilles' Heels

http://creation.com/evolutions-achilles-heels
Coming soon from Creation Ministries International!
A major book and DVD documentary project Building on the huge response to 2012’s Question Evolution campaign, we aim to take even more ground in the battle to proclaim the truth of the Bible. CMI’s 2014 offensive will be spearheaded by the release of a milestone book and DVD documentary, called Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels.

NEW Teaser Trailer for Evolution's Achilles' Heels documentary

The purpose of this groundbreaking project is to simply and concisely expose evolution’s fatal weaknesses. Like our 15 Questions for Evolutionists tract, we believe evolution theory has no answer to these weaknesses, once properly explained and understood. The book is like no other work that we are aware of, in that it is authored exclusively by nine Ph.D. scientists. Our hope is that this fact will cause evolutionists to sit up and listen. All of these authors received their doctorates from similar, secular universities as their evolutionary counterparts. Each is a specialist in various fields relevant to the subjects on which they write, such as:

Dr Don Batten
Natural Selection

Dr Jonathan Sarfati
Origin of Life

Dr Tas Walker
Geology

Dr Rob Carter
Genetics

Dr Jim Mason
Radiometric Dating

Dr Emil Silvestru
Fossil Record

Dr John Hartnett
Cosmology

Dr David Catchpoole
Ethics

Dr Mark Harwood
Ethics

In ancient Greek mythology, the great warrior, Achilles, was dipped into the river Styx by his mother to make him immune from all attacks. Holding him by the ankle, she failed to immerse his heel, and this led to his undoing. In common vernacular, an ‘Achilles’ heel’ describes a fatal weakness in spite of apparent overall strength and invulnerability.

This project will be a very direct demolition of the very pillars of a foundational belief system that underpins our now-secular culture. It’s coupled with the biblical command to reach the lost with the Bible’s Good News. In a nutshell, it’s a comprehensive outreach tool like no other. Our prayer is that this documentary will be seen by millions through television broadcast, engagements in theaters and churches, and millions more through personal DVD distribution.

Respected Scientist Fired for Biblical Viewpoint

 From Jay Seegert at Creation Education Center:

More Soft Tissue in Dino Bones

I've mentioned the finding of red blood cells and soft tissue in dinosaurs bones be fore, but there is a related twist that's recently been "in the news".

Respected microscopist (and creationists) Mark Armitage discovered the largest triceratops horn ever unearthed at the Hell Creek Formation in Montana back in 2012.

He had been working as a scientist at California State University at Northridge in Los Angeles, but was terminated immediately last year after a science journal published the fact that he discovered soft tissue in the triceratops horn. (Most scientists believe that this type dinosaur became extinct about 65 million years ago, so there shouldn't be any trace of soft tissue.)  Armitage apparently made a comment that this find, even though a challenge to evolution and its millions of years scenario, is very compatible with the biblical view of a more recent creation.

Just over a week ago (July 22, 2014) Armitage sued the university for discrimination.  The lawsuit alleges that in the weeks leading up to his termination, Armitage's boss, stormed into the lab shouting, "'We are not going to tolerate your religion in this department!!"

We'll have to watch this closely to see how it turns out, but it is just another example (among myriads) of discrimination against any scientist who dares to speak out against the reigning paradigm of evolution.

The hypocrisy of those who hate their loving Creator is evident. Is this really about science? This is one more instance that leads me to say, "NO".

Very Interesting Model for the Biblical Flood

Conversations at the Fairs

Senator Ron Johnson Presses Dinosaur Creation Coin at Washington County Fair

It is always exciting to set the record straight about dinosaurs. Most people are unaware that red blood cells and soft tissue have been found in dinosaur bones that are not fully fossilized. Evidence abounds of man and dinosaurs living together after The Flood of Genesis. We have a great time at the fair talking to folks about the God of the Bible. Come visit us! Two fairs remain after this weekend in West Bend.

Scientists Study Non-fossilized Dinosaur Tissue

The Society is conducting a research initiative to study tissue found in dinosaur fossils.  Such fossils are dated by the standard geologic time scale as at least 60 million years old. In 2005, work was published showing evidence that non-fossilized tissue (e.g., red blood cells, bone cells, etc.) was found within the fossilized bone of aTyrannosaurus rex dinosaur. Since 2005, additional studies have documented even more soft tissue in so-called ancient fossils, including the detection of intact proteins and even nucleic acids. Such results directly challenge the entire evolutionary “millions of years” timeframe.  This timeframe is readily (and often uncritically) accepted by most scientists and even many claiming to be “creationists.” Read more here:HERE

Creation Conference June 30-July 2, 2014

This looks very worthwhile for those who wish to understand Scripture both scientifically and for its spiritual significance.

"The Origin of Life:

The Improbability of Chance, Mutation, and Natural Selection" (2014)

            The next creation conference take place on June 30 to July 2, 2014, Monday to Wednesday. Concordia University Wisconsin will once again host us in a larger meeting area in order to accommodate the larger crowd that is expected. We will start at 1:00 p.m. on June 30 and end at noon on July 2. As plans continue to develop, we will post and update information about the next conference. That conference will focus on the origin of life, and secondarily the amazing complexity of DNA and the individual cell.
            Please check this website from time to time for more information. Much of the same information, which appears below, will apply to this next conference, such as housing, registration procedures, contacts with conference organizers, etc. Please use the registration form that appears below in pdf format. We plan to offer meals as part of the conference, adding the cost of each meal you sign up for (and including one noon meal in the registration fee). One of our keynote speakers will be Jay Seegert, who comes to us from the Creation Education Center, Waukesha, Wisconsin. He has spoken widely on issues related to creation, speaking more than 1,300 times in 26 states and three foreign countries. Dr. Kevin Anderson, from the Creation Research Society, is our other plenary speaker. Both Dr. Gary Locklair and Dr. Joel Heck will also be presenting, as indicated below. We will also offer a selection of workshops, or concurrent sessions.

Our Keynote Speakers:
Dr. Kevin Anderson is an author, speaker, and editor-in-chief of the Creation Research Society Quarterly. He holds the Ph.D. in microbiology from Kansas State University. He has been a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois, professor of microbiology at Mississippi State University, and research microbiologist for the United States Department of Agriculture.
Jay Seegert is an author and international speaker and is the Co-Founder of the Creation Education Center. He has degrees both Physics and Engineering and has been lecturing on the authority of Scripture for over 28 years.  In addition, Jay serves on the Board of Directors for Logos Research Associates and is a Representative Speaker for Ratio Christi.  He is also a former adjunct speaker for Creation Ministries International and the former President of the Creation Science Society of Milwaukee.

"Evolution's Flawed Principles"
Evolutionary transformations are claimed to result from natural selection acting upon mutational change. However, this view reveals an incomplete understanding of natural selection and an inaccurate understanding of mutations. 
 "The Human Genome: An Icon for Creation Science"

Since the publication of the human genome sequence, our understanding of the function and structure of chromosomes has increased dramatically. In light of these new discoveries, evolutionists' arguments, such as Junk DNA, evolutionary lineages, and Human/Chimpanzee genetic similarity, are now being discarded as erroneous.  The genome exhibits a clear evidence of design, possessing an intricate organization of overlapping genes, dual coding systems, and 4-dimensional informational activity - fully consistent with a recent creation model.

“Evolution: Probable or Problematic?”

Even though certain aspects of evolution occasionally seem fairly plausible, when you "peek under the hood" to see what actually has to go on inside (in the DNA) we see a very different picture.  Presenting some cutting-edge information about DNA, this presentation clearly demonstrates that molecules-to-man evolution is virtually impossible. “I ‘Hear’ that Evolution is Impossible” Using the human ear as the main example, this topic briefly addresses the origin of "information" and the origin of species, showing that mutations and natural selection are completely incapable of producing molecules-to-man evolution. Gary Locklair "Positive Creation Evidences"God created life as matter with teleonomy (information content). All life on planet earth was originally fashioned by God. Since this is true, there should be a number of scientific evidences that can be used as support. What are these evidences and what is an effective way to present and discuss the evidence? From the Law of Biogenesis to probability; from complexity to information theory, there are many evidences to support the origin of life by God's creative activity. Any evidence can be expressed either as a negative argument against evolution or as a positive argument in favor of creation. This presentation will focus on defining and presenting positive arguments in favor of the creation of life.

"The Grand Canyon and the Flood of Noah"
The Grand Canyon is often presented as evidence for uniformitarianism and an old earth, but in reality it speaks of a cataclysmic worldwide deluge in the recent past. Belief in a worldwide flood in Noah's day, based on Genesis 6-9, usually goes hand in hand with a high view of Scripture and a natural reading of the creation account in Genesis 1. Drawing on a week-long trip in the Grand Canyon with one of the world's foremost Grand Canyon geologists, this topic will present evidence for the flood of Noah as seen in the fossils and sedimentary rock layers of the Grand Canyon with photos and videos taken on site. He who created all life also at one point destroyed most of that life, except for the family of Noah.

Noah, the Flood, Pitch and Salvation

I spent a wonderful morning today with almost 200 school children. I taught on the Biblical flood and Noah, the ark and salvation. Did you know God told Noah to cover both the inside and outside of the ark with pitch? The pitch was a covering that kept Noah, his family and the animals safe inside the ark and protected from God's judgment of the world. This pitch is a picture of salvation through Jesus Christ for us from God's judgment for our sin. His blood covers us and keeps us safe from judgment just like the pitch covered the ark, keeping the passengers inside the ark safe. There are so many lessons to learn from Genesis! The penny press machine came with me and each child pressed a penny and took one of our cards. Enjoy the pictures:
