The Origins Truth Conference at North Carolina State on 11/10/2018 featured Dr. John Sanford, inventor of the gene gun, giving talks about Genetic Entropy and Contested Bones. Also Dr. D. Russell Humphreys gave a talk about Planetary Magnetic Fields and Peter Borger talked about the Illusion of Natural Selection and Baranomes. The hosts were Helmut Welke of Creation Summit and Dan Reynolds of the Triangle Association of Science and Creation.

Peter Borger is the author of Darwin Revisited, and his research caused him to realize that the concept of natural selection is an illusion. He discusses how experiments with mice where they knock out genes to see what they do show that tremendous redundancy exists in the genome. The phenotype still works though the gene has been removed. He rejects Darwinian evolution and believes that the evidence points to all of the genetic code being created in the beginning.

Derek Marshall and Jeff Conklin share their personal stories what led them to the Creationist point of view and the evidence that God provided them that helped them to come to faith in Christ.

The RAE Adventure to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter inspires many observations about how we view the events of Noah’s flood, the pre-flood world, and how Noah built a ship that was able to preserve life in that cataclysm. Sue Langham shares her experiences and how to visit the two museums.

Sue Langham gives an account of her visit to the Ark Encounter. From his research, Derek Marshall estimates that the building of the Ark would have been over a very short period of 46 days based upon how fast a wood frame structure could be built with a lot of faith, help and miracles. He cites clues from scripture to support his idea. Tradition has it that it took 120 years. ICR estimates 60 years, Answers in Genesis 55-75 years, yet they built their replica in 2 years. Dere

Doug Sharp visited Europe on a Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Kerby Rials is a former missionary to Belgium, and they discuss the trappings of the state church and why many of the customs and traditions of that institution were left behind when the Pilgrims came to America. The church in Europe is asleep and almost dead and the reasons why are discussed.

The RNA World is a hypothesis of the origin of life starting with RNA and building the components of life around it. But if you study the process that is needed to build the RNA molecule there is a series of nineteen different obstacles that must be overcome.

Northern Michigan provides an excellent picture of the type of landforms that were caused by a period of glaciation that occurred a short time after Noah’s flood. Creation scientists have modeled the weather pattern that would have produced the glaciers. Mammoths and mastodons were warm-weather creatures that lived in the areas near the warm oceans, but a weather pattern produced the climate that piled tons of snow on the interior lands, producing the glaciers. That is why qu

Science suffers from a definition problem, and many times people cannot tell the difference between empirical science and forensic science. Empirical science is where you set up the conditions in the present where you can control all of the starting assumptions. But with forensic science, everything happened in the past and you are left with clues as to what happened, but you cannot control those starting parameters. That is where evolution has a problem.

One of the problems in the creation-evolution debate is defining the terms. Evolution has many different meanings to many different people, and often evidence for micro-evolution is extrapolated to mega-evolution in the minds of people before they have a chance to think it through.

One of the most difficult times in a child’s life is the time that they enter junior high school. Their bodies are changing, they are full of emotions, and there is a desire to separate from their parents and become more independent. This is the time when critical decisions concerning faith in God are made, and the experiences they have with family and the church will influence the rest of their life.

Since the 1980’s, the national health standards have promoted what is called the food pyramid, which tells us that sugars and fats should be eaten sparingly, if at all. Dr. Jean-Guy Daigneault is a chiropractor who is also a nutrition expert, and though he agrees with sugar being bad for you, recent studies have shown that avoidance of fat is a problem. Consumption of good fats is essential for the production of hormones and it helps to lose weight. The culprit is trans-fatty

Dr. Jean-Guy Daigneault, a chiropractor who combines his practice with nutrition, talks about the problem with food being processed with sugar, and the fact that our culture is oriented where sugar is a reward and given as a sign of love. He also talks about sugar substitutes that are harmful to the body. The recommendation is to use natural products like honey, maple sugar, coconut sugar, or stevia.

Nine out of ten species alive today have arisen in the last 200,000 years, according to a new genetic study. This research looked at select portions of DNA from 100,000 different species, and researchers found a telltale sign showing that almost all the animals emerged about the same time as humans. Not only that, the study also found (rather unexpectedly for evolutionists) species have very clear genetic boundaries, and nothing much in between.

The dimensions of the molten sea found in Solomon’s temple have often been a bit of controversy among skeptics of the bible who point out that the diameter and circumference don’t quite accurately reflect pi. In addition one account talks about the volume being 2,000 baths, and another 3,000. Derek Marshall solves these issues and observes that the dimensions of each of the parts of the molten sea reflect God’s design in the periodic table of elements.

Here are the top ten questions to ask a Christian: 1. Are you ready always to give an answer to every man who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear? I Peter 3:15 2. Do you have a good conscience? I Peter 3:16 3. Have you set aside your other gods? (pet demons) 4. Is your life different than those who live in the world around you? 5. Have you found the purpose God created for you? 6. Are you doing it faithfully? 7. Are you taking care of your tem

If you were to ask ten questions of an atheist, what would they be? Doug and Rich gives a list of the top ten questions that an atheist would find it tough to answer.

Kerby Rials is a missionary who has established a church in Belgium. He relates what it is like to talk about the Christian faith to people in Europe and why the message of the gospel is not being heard there. They are establishing a Christian cable channel in Belgium and one of the keys is to have materials about Creation Science in French.

Guy Forsythe of Crying Rocks conducts a tour on a trail to Lizard Head in Sedona where some unusual parabolic folds and siesmites provide evidence for these features being formed by water action.

The Greatest Showman is a movie about P. T. Barnum. The interest here concerning the theory of evolution is the treatment of those who were “freaks” and played a role in his sideshow. There was a good and bad side to this, and a Christian perspective is discussed.
