10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.	Fossil Petting Zoo & Crafts	Atrium & Exhibit Hall	Explore a hands-on fossil petting zoo and unleash your creativity with engaging crafts!
10:30 a.m.	"Dinosaurs: Marvels of Design" | Dr. Tim Clarey	Founder's Hall	Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? How big were they? Could they fit on the Ark? Dr. Clarey discusses the uniqueness of God's created dinosaurs and answers many of the questions young people encounter in secular media and even in children's books. This talk is especially suited for younger audiences.
11:30 a.m.	Workshop: Designed Dinos | Rebecca Schumacher	Building B Classroom	Join Ms. Rebecca Schumacher for an interactive session on the theory of Continuous Environment Tracking and the remarkable design of dinosaurs.

1:00 p.m.	"Dinosaurs and the Bible" | Dr. Frank Sherwin	Founder's Hall	A creationist and evolutionist can work together to dig up a dinosaur fossil. They will just disagree on where the dinosaur came from, how long ago it lived, and what killed it. Dr. Sherwin begins this talk by asking children under 12 to identify pictures of some of the more popular "thunder lizards." He then uses the fossil record to show that dinosaurs have always been dinosaurs - they didn't evolve from other reptiles or turn into birds. Evolutionary scientists teach many strange theories about how the dinosaurs died off, but much can be explained by the worldwide Flood of Genesis.

11:30 a.m.	Workshop: Biomechanical Models | Tommy Lohman	Building B Classroom	The sauropod dinosaurs were the largest land animals to have ever walked the face of the earth. They had an interesting movement pattern in their hips and tails. Job 40 mentions Behemoth as a creature with strong muscles, bones, an a swaying tail. This suggests that Behemoth was a sauropod dinosaur. You can join Tommy Lohman in building your biomechanical model hip section of a sauropod dinosaur. This workshop is suitable for ages 12 and up.
1:00 p.m.	"Fossils: Evolution or Flood?" | Dr. Brian Thomas	Founder's Hall	In this interactive presentation, Dr. Thomas shows real fossils. He points to features that refute fossilization over eons and that fit the rapid burial expected from Noah's Flood.

1:00 p.m.	"Feathered Dinosaurs and Other Evolutionary Fairy Tales" | Dr. Tim Clarey	Founder's Hall	Most popular movies, TV shows, and books portray dinosaurs with feathers and claim they have an evolutionary relationship with birds. This talk dispels these myths and presents the science of dinosaurs as found in the rocks themselves. Dinosaurs did not evolve into birds, did not develop feathers, and did not go extinct from an asteroid millions of years ago. Dinosaurs were designed fully-formed as a unique group of reptile kinds, just as the Bible describes in Genesis.
