In Naturalism, everything is > determined by natural processes = NO FREE WILL: But they don't see that > random! - Nothing should flow from logical sequences. > So thoughts are random 14 Just a Side Issue? 15 Just a Side Issue? NO! It is the Foundation of our Faith 16 Is Genesis Important? Just a Side Issue? Divisive? Keeps 'real scientists' out of the Church? Evolution is 'real' but Creation is just made-up myths and legends What about the claim that it is Divisive and should be avoided? 17 But it is Divisive! “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34 - NIV) Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother- in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” (Luke 12:51-53 - NIV) But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. (Jude 17-19 - NIV) Truth divides! Messiah College meetings: > Vicious attacks toward someone who said Biblical Creation is true > Proffs and students: denied NASA published observation that proved their claims were wrong! Visible light from distant galaxies 18 Is Genesis Important? Just a Side Issue? Divisive? Yes, but Truth is Divisive! Keeps 'real scientists' out of the Church? Evolution is 'real' but Creation is just made-up myths and legends I personally heard this from another SS teacher in another 'church' 19 Does it Keep 'Real Scientists' out of the Church? Who am I? A Research Engineer for 40 years Designed solutions for the US Air Force, US Navy, Automotive Industry, Telephone Industry, Power Industry, … All Designs Must Consider All Areas of Science Gee, am I a 'real scientist' that believes in Biblical Creation? Many of my coworkers also believe it! Designs get pass/fail test: Any part of science not considered can cause failure - temperature - humidity - chemicals - human factors - pressure - strength of materials - stress and aging effects - atomic physics: distance between gold atoms determined failure and had to be circumvented Origin theories (Big-Bang & Evolution) ignore all of science outside the immediate topic > Often all scientific principles: peer review, testing, duplication, ... > Biologists often ignore physics and chemistry > Logic/probability and mathematical analysis are not just ignored but actively refused 20 Is Genesis Important? Just a Side Issue? Divisive? Yes, but Truth is Divisive! Keeps 'real scientists' out of the Church? Evolution is 'real' but Creation is just made-up myths and legends 21 Evolution is the 'Real Stuff' In Schools and Colleges, Our Children are Taught and Tested on Natural Origins: Big Bang, Evolution, Long Ages, Death as a natural part of existence, … A few Churches may teach some Creation, but that is just 1 day against 5. There is no Testing. No one 'fails' if they don't believe. Their rational Conclusion is that School teaches what is Real. Church stuff is just nice stories. Perceptions 22 We are Losing Our Children! Because of their Naturalistic Training, Many Children Believe that … The Bible is Just a Bunch of Old Stories It has no Relevance or Authority So they Become Lost We must do what we are doing here … Learning to Defend Our Faith BUT, We must then Teach our Children! Show them this is Real and that is Imagination! 23 A Solution? When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalms 11:3 - NIV) But remember, the FOUNDATIONS are in Genesis! Notice the naturalists are firing at our foundation 24 A Solution? When the foundations are being Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old destroyed, what can the foundations; you will be called righteous do?” (Psalms 11:3 - Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of NIV) Streets with Dwellings. (Isaiah 58:12 - NIV) Strengthening our foundation and Destroying their foundation is what this course is about. 25 The Solution But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, (1st Peter 3:15 - NIV) 26 Today's Topics √ Why is this important? Where did it come from? An overall look at the book.

  • CREATION SCIENCE BIBLIOGRAPHY Ray Mondragon (10/17, Rev 4/19)
    CREATION SCIENCE BIBLIOGRAPHY Ray Mondragon (10/17, rev 4/19) Note: This bibliography contains mainly the books that refute the evolution worldview and support the creationist young-universe view. There are only a few books from the old-universe view as noted at the end. A few other resources have been added from Robby Dean after a 4/12/19 meeting as noted with an asterisk. CREATION vs. EVOLUTION Scientific Creationism, edited by Henry M. Morris, Institute for Creation Research, Master Books, 1974. Over 22 scientists with PhDs contribute a variety of scientific evidence supporting the creation view. Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth?, Jonathan Wells, Regnery Publishing, 2000. The main evidence supporting the theory of evolution, “icons,” are explained and effectively refuted. The Lie: Evolution, Ken Ham, Master Books, 1987. The theory of evolution is refuted more philosophically than evidentially for a general audience. Biblical Creationism: What Each Book of the Bible Teaches about Creation and the Flood, Henry Morris, Baker Book House, 1993. The entire Bible is surveyed for passages referring to creation or God as Creator. Man’s Origin, Man’s Destiny: A Critical Survey of the Principles of Evolution and Christianity, A. E. Wilder-Smith, Bethany Fellowship, Inc., 1975. A professor with PhDs in organic chemistry and medical science supports the creationist position from both science and Scripture. This is an older but still a useful work. * The Creation of Life: A Cybernetic Approach To Evolution. A. E. Wilder Smith. Older but very valuable work by a British scholar who has a Ph,D in organic chemistry, a Doctor of Science in Pharmaceuticals from the University of Geneva, and a third doctorate from the E.

  • Apologetic Resources
    APOLOGETIC RESOURCES A Young Earth ministry perspective, namely contrasting Scripture to true science now and during the ages. By Dr. Jim Pagels [email protected] 9/2016 Editor Dr. John Fricke, Emeritus Professor of Biology, Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Copyright This book is offered as an educational resource on a no cost basis. Contents are not to be reproduced for the purpose of sale. Note that all Scriptural passages are taken from the English Standard Version. 1 I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN THE TRUTH III JOHN 1:4 Forward - Although there is much young Earth information available from commercial sources and on the internet, it was the impression of this writer that no resource that deals with basic topical issues correlating the young Earth philosophy and science exists for professional church workers. To this end, Apologetic Resources is being offered. Intended Audience – The intended audience of this reference material is primarily use by professional church workers, i.e., teachers, pastors, youth workers, etc., namely those who choose to uphold the literal interpretation of Genesis and the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. The focus in this regard is Young Earth Creationism and the catastrophic nature of the global Genesis Flood keeping in mind that Genesis 1-11 is foundational to most of the significant doctrines of Holy Scripture. Of course, laymen may well also find this reference a valuable resource. There is obviously a realistic interplay between Scripture, apologetics and true science. The goal of this document is to provide clarity to this interaction.

  • Noah: the Man, the Ark, the Flood
    Digging Deeper Links for Noah: The Man, The Ark, The Flood SESSION ONE: NOAH THE MAN The Bible Trumps Everything—Even Creation Science: This article explains the danger of clinging too tightly to models arising from Creation science. It examines some early Creation science models that have given way over the years and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of current models describing the flood. Flood! This article briefly surveys some of the numerous flood accounts in ancient civilizations. Noah’s Flood: the Gilgamesh Epic and Genesis: Some scholars argue Genesis borrowed its flood account from the Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh. This article challenges that assertion and provides an alternate view. Living for 900 Years: Today few people reach the age of 120 years. We’re understanding more … but, with new research, can we live longer? Fascinating new information about how and why we age casts fresh light on the long lifespans of pre-flood people. Decreased lifespans: Have we been looking in the right place? This article looks at some possible reasons for the decrease in longevity after the flood. Meeting the Ancestors This article shares a fascinating observation about the patriarchal lists of early Genesis. Extreme Aging Tragically, some children age at tremendous rates, resulting in an average lifespan of thirteen years. SESSION TWO: THE ARK Thinking Outside the Box This webpage takes an in depth look at the ark and how it safely brought Noah, his family, and all those animals through the Flood’s devastation. Where does the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod stand on Genesis 1? This page contains the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s official doctrinal position.

A special thanks to Dr. Kent Hovind, a.k.a. Dr. Dino (www.drdino.com). Your ministry to present evidence for creation and support for the Genesis record lives on in this commentary. The ability to copy your work for free distribution has made this document possible. All but one picture has come from Dr. Hovind’s Seminar PowerPoint slides. Thanks to Michele Scott, my secretary for deciphering my Genesis notes in my old Bible to make this commentary come together. Thanks Lord, for making your handiwork so obvious in your creation so as to leave all who will consider it without any excuse regarding your existence. Rom 1:18-25 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
