Schedule

Friday June 9th, 2023
Time	Session	Speaker	Talk	Description
5:30 p.m.	Doors Open
7:00 p.m.	Session 1	Dave Napier	Three Things That Crush Evolution anc Confirm God's Word	This youth presentation is a fun and high energy talk showing that evolution just can't explain the world around us. The fossil record, dinosaurs, and DNA all leave evolutionists grasping for straws. When the observable evidence is revealed, these three things crush evolution at its very core.
8:00 p.m.	Session 2	JandY Ministries	Fun With Science	This fun and encouraging talk will engage audiences of all ages. Learn how the founders of science did their experiments because of their belief in God. Participate in fun experiments that show what the founders discovered. It is a great talk for the whole family with opportunities for some audience members to get involved.

Time	Session	Speaker	Talk	Description
9:00 a.m.	Welcome
9:10 a.m.	General Session 1	Dr. Randy Guliuzza	Great Answers to Three Key Questions	Psychological research shows that humans in every culture perceive designed features and naturally infer they had designers. If this is the case, then the persuasive power in life’s designs is an enormously underused gift from God in apologetic defenses. Design-based explanations of creature features given from an engineer’s perspective bring scientific clarity to apologetics discussions by demystifying fallacious Darwinian origins explanations. If you can properly identify the cause of an organism’s dramatic capacity to adapt—better yet, self-adjust— to different environments, you’re on your way to the most powerful argument against death and survival-driven naturalistic evolution. This strategy points to a beneficent intelligent Designer consistent with the God of the Bible.
	Youth Session (6th-12th)	Mike Mueller	Your Origins Matter - Where Did It all Come From?	Description Coming Soon
	Children's Session (1st-6th)	JandY Ministry	In the Beginning	Description Coming Soon
10:00 a.m.	Break
10:20 a.m.	Breakout Sessions
	Breakout 1	Dr. Tim Clarey	The Truth of the Genesis Flood	In this presentation, Dr. Clarey shows how sedimentary evidence across several continents confirms the occurrence of a global flood. He presents oil industry data compiled into maps and diagrams that illustrate the progression of the Flood and match the biblical narrative. He provides biblically based scientific explanations for large-scale sedimentary deposits that were rapidly formed by catastrophic activity. This abundant evidence supports a worldwide flood that happened just thousands of years ago.
	Breakout 2	Dr. Randy Guliuzza	Replacing Darwin's Sacred Imposter	Are creatures active trackers of environmental change? Do their innate systems enable them to continuously fill new niches, or do geological and climatic pressures drive adaptation in relatively passive organisms? There is increasing evidence that God engineered creatures with systems to detect changes in myriads of external conditions and then make suitable self-adjustments.
	Breakout 3	Dr. Kevin Horton	Genesis 1:1 - The Origin of Time, Space, and Matter	Description Coming Soon
	Youth Session (6th-12th)	Dr. Jake Hebert	Our Young Universe	Take a virtual tour of our solar system and beyond! This presentation includes spectacular images of celestial bodies in our “local” celestial neighborhood. Learn how well-known objects in our own solar system present problems for evolutionary theories but confirm recent creation.
	Kid's Session (1st-5th)	JandY Ministry	Dinosaurs and Evolution	Description Coming Soon
11:10 a.m.	Break
11:30 a.m.	Breakout Sessions
	Breakout 1	Dr. Tim Clarey	Do Dinosaurs Support Evolutionary Theory?	Dr. Clarey refutes the notion of dinosaur evolution and ancestry by examining four common dinosaur myths. He exposes each one using scientific evidence and concludes that dinosaurs were created just thousands of years ago. Dinosaurs were not feathered and likely not warm-blooded as most secularists seem to believe. The evidence supports the idea that all dinosaur kinds were created fully-formed by God on Day 6 of the creation week.
	Breakout 2	Dr. Jake Hebert	Our Young Universe	Take a virtual tour of our solar system and beyond! This presentation includes spectacular images of celestial bodies in our “local” celestial neighborhood. Learn how well-known objects in our own solar system present problems for evolutionary theories but confirm recent creation.
	Breakout 3	Dr. Kevin Horton	The Biblical View of Race	Description Coming Soon
	Youth Session (6th-12th)	Mike Mueller	Dinosaurs and Noah's Ark - Both Big Deals	Description Coming Soon

1:40 a.m.	Breakout Sessions
	Breakout 1	Dr. Tim Clarey	Revealing the Secrets of the Ice Age	Was there an Ice Age? If so, what caused it? Dr. Clarey reveals a biblical reason for the timing of the Ice Age and the dispersion from the Tower of Babel. The Ice Age was an essential ending to the global Flood.
	Breakout 2	Dr. Randy Guliuzza	The Human Body: Divine Engineering	Dr. Guliuzza provides a fascinating look at several features of human beings that illustrate how they are very different from animals and can actually outperform them in many ways. He demonstrates the complete unity of the human body, emphasizing performance rather than basic anatomy. The talk unfolds dynamically, is highly visual, and will leave no doubt that humans are fearfully, wonderfully, and supernaturally made.
	Breakout 3	Dr. Kevin Horton	Drone Evidence for a Global Flood	Description Coming Soon
	Youth Session (6th-12th)	Mike Mueller	Fascinating Evidences for Creation - Without Excuse	Description Coming Soon
	Kid's Session (1st-5th)	JandY Ministry	Noah's Ark	Description Coming Soon

2:50 p.m.	General Session 2	Dr. Randy Guliuzza	Five Minutes with a Darwinist	If you only had five minutes to talk with a friend who believes in evolution, could you quickly topple evolution’s main pillars and present a strong case for creation? Dr. Guliuzza provides the skills necessary for Christians to talk intelligently and succinctly with evolutionists—without references to religion, revelation, or faith.
	Youth Session (6th-12th)	Dr. Jake Hebert	The Origin of the Heavenly Bodies	In this interactive presentation, Dr. Jake Hebert uses physics demonstrations to cut through the evolutionary “spin” about the origin of stars, planets, and other celestial objects.
