Description
The Lord Jesus Christ was the greatest Bible teacher of all time, and when He taught about Himself and His plan for the world, He began with the book of Genesis. All truth in every area of life has its beginning in the Genesis record of creation and early human history. No stretch of the imagination can make the Genesis account agree with the story of life presented by evolutionary scientists. ICR's Creation Weekend Conference calls believers back to the biblical account of Genesis and demonstrates that the Bible provides the best explanation for the origin of the universe and the diversity of life on Earth.

Time Speaker Title Description
6:30 p.m. Dr. Brian Thomas Fresh Fossils from Four Continents Have you heard about the blood vessels from dinosaur bones? It turns out that's just the beginning of fresh features from all kinds of fossils. In this presentation, Dr. Thomas explains how we can know that these proteins are relatively young and how these exciting new finds fit with the Bible's history of the world.
7:15 p.m. Break
7:30 p.m. Dr. Jim Johnson Ancient History Corroborates Genesis History The history presented in Genesis is corroborated by ancient Chinese pictographs, archaeological discoveries, and Flood stories from all over the world. The pictographic language preserves a memory of God, creation, Adam and Eve, mankind's sin in the Garden of Eden, the serpent's role in tempting the first couple, Adam and Eve's eviction from Eden, Cain's murder of Abel, blood sacrifices associated with gaining righteous standing with God, the Genesis Flood, and the Tower of Babel. Did you know that the Moabite stone corroborates a prophecy in Genesis? This kind of information is more than just interesting - it's important for personal apologetics and personal evangelism.
8:15 p.m. Break
8:30 p.m. Both Speakers Question and Answer
9:00 p.m. Conclusion

9:00 a.m. Dr. Jim Johnson What Good is Genesis-Based Apologetics? Some think apologetics is limited to answering inquirers who ask about the Christian faith. Others think apologetics is a fancy work for defending the faith. But, the Scriptures provide four very different purposes for how we learn and use creation evidences (and what the New Testament calls "many infallible proofs") to affirm and promote our biblical faith. This presentation includes "4 C's" of Genesis apologetics: corroborating facts presented in Scriptures; contradicting the false teachings (especially evolutionary myths) that pervade our world; clarifying confusing topics to those who are puzzled, confused, or just curious; and celebrating how creation displays the glorious creatorship of our Lord Jesus Christ. Illustrations include polar bears, fish, humans who lived with dinosaurs like Stegosaurus, answering fools (Proverbs 26:4-5), carbon-14, soft tissue in Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops bones, bait-and-switch and other faith-bashing scoffer tactics, and more.
10:30 a.m. Dr. Brian Thomas Living in Light of Genesis Many Christians divorce science from faith because they're told that scientific and other evidence contradict what the Bible says about creation. Is Genesis really this wrong about our origins? How should Christians deal with claims that the first part of the Bible is myth and not fact? In this talk, Dr. Thomas reveals three ways that science actually confirms Genesis as history. Bible believers can have more confidence than ever in the truth of the Bible and find new freedom to live their lives in light of Genesis.
