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.

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. Jake Hebert	Living to 900: Cultural and Scientific Corroboration of One of the Bible's Most Amazing Claims	The Bible plainly affirms that people in both the pre-Flood and immediate post-Flood worlds routinely attained ages of hundreds of years. Other ancient historians have corroborated the Bible's claim in this regard. Moreover, unless this longevity was supernatural, it seems that animals also would have experienced much greater longevity, because it is difficult to conceive of a natural cause for greater longevity (fewer harmful mutations, abundant food, different atmospheric composition, etc.) that would not also have affected the animal kingdom. Growth bands in fossil oysters show direct evidence of greater longevity than their living descendants. Moreover, longevity studies in living animals have shown that giantism and delayed maturation are often associated with greater longevity, and there is abundant evidence for both in the fossils.

9:00 a.m.	Dr. Jake Hebert	Understanding Biblical Creation: Why You Should Believe in a Literal Genesis	The waning influence of Christianity in America is linked to a perceived loss of biblical authority due to "scientific" attacks on the first 11 chapters of Genesis. Dr. Hebert explains why the creation-evolution debate is not a side issue and why every Christian should believe in a literal Genesis.
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.
