Birds and Flight - Evolution Impossible | Andy McIntosh

Birds and Flight

Andy McIntosh
Andy McIntosh is a Professor of thermodynamics. In this talk at an Edinburgh Creation Group meeting, he examines the structures that enable creatures to fly. He asks could these structures have arisen gradually by natural selection or do they make up a system, where each part is needed fully formed, before the others are of use? This talk starts by looking at bird navigation and ends by comparing the lungs of birds with those of dinosaurs. This is a fascinating exploration of flight.

Artist with vivid imagination.

The Dark History of Evolution - Dr. Henry Morris

Dr. Henry Morris goes into the dark history of evolution. Evolution has occultic roots going back hundreds and thousands of years leading all the way back to Satan himself.

Is Atheism Scientific? - Dr. Arthur Jones

http://edinburghcreationgroup.org | Science is founded on the assumption that the universe obeys a set of understandable, well ordered rules. It is logical to assume that a universe created by an intelligent mind will have intelligible laws governing it throughout. But does it follow that a universe born out of chaos should be governed by an consistent set of intelligible rules? Richard Dawkins has said that faith in a creator is incompatible with science, because its assumptions cannot be tested. However can the assumptions of Atheism be tested? i.e. that the logical laws that govern the universe should be self-existent.

Dr. Jones is a science and education consultant. He has a B.S. (Hons) from the University of Birmingham in biology; an M.Ed. from Bristol University and a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Birmingham. Dr. Jones has taught science and religion courses at London and Bristol Universities. He presently works for the Christian Schools Trust as their research consultant for curriculum development. He is a member of the Institute of Biology, London.

Tracing Genesis Through Ancient Culture - Paul James-Griffiths

Tracing Genesis Through Ancient Culture

Paul James-Griffiths
Did religion evolve from primitive nature worship, to belief in many gods, to belief in a single creator God?

Paul James-Griffiths of Edinburgh Creation Group challenges this view as he examines ancient cultures and religions. He shows how the texts and customs of multiple ancient cultures converge on the major events recorded in the early chapters of Genesis. Paul then argues these religions that diverge in many other ways must have had a common root - Genesis.

Paul James-Griffiths

Paul James-Griffiths – Cultural Missionary

Paul James-Griffiths was born in Malaysia in 1962 and was converted to Christ out of paganism/New Age when he was 20. He qualified in Ancient History and Classical Studies at University and taught for three years before God called him into full-time mission work in 1988.

His first ministry was with London City Mission (1988-2004). He was a church based evangelist for three years, followed by seven years of running a mission centre in a London estate. After this he was appointed to the position of Chaplain to the West End Theatres and he worked with the casts and backstage crews of productions like Cats, Lion King, Phantom of the Opera and Joseph. At the same time he pioneered outreaches into New Age festivals and districts in Covent Garden and Camden Town.

In 2004 Paul moved to Scotland to work with Edinburgh City Mission. He has pioneered the Christian Heritage Centre next to the Royal Mile, the Celtic Tour, outreach teams to the University students, the Underbelly (the night-clubbers in the Cowgate) and the crowds at the pagan festivals of Beltane and Samhuinn. Seeing the need of engaging with the intellectuals of the city he has established the Edinburgh Creation Group, to provide evidence for the Bible from history and science as part of the outreach. Paul works together with Isolde to put on classical music concert outreaches, and also produces resources for evangelism.

Paul is married to Isolde and they have three grown-up children: Miriam, Samuel and Julia, and a pet rabbit called Prince. His favourite hobbies are enjoying beautiful walks, good food, fishing, music, history and genealogy.

The Latest on Cavemen - Dave Prentice

Part 1

At the January 2012 meeting of Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship, science teacher Dave Prentice gave an update on the current supposed evidence for ape-human evolution. He talked about many hominids and how they are not transitional forms as well as the lies and frauds used to purport human evolution and the "missing link".

Part 2

http://youngearth.org | (Jan 2012) Dave Prentice received his B.S. degree in Physics from Loyola University, New Orleans, in 1976. Having been trained to believe in evolution, he continued to do so even after becoming a Christian in 1980.

When the Louisiana legislature passed the "Balanced Treatment Act" in 1980 requiring that the evidence for creation be presented alongside that for evolution, his state representative tried to repeal the law. Dave contacted him to say that it was only fair for the "other guys," the creationists, to have their say. In response to his representative's statement that there was no evidence for creation, Dave began doing research to investigate the claims of the creationists. Within six months of study, he became one of them! Since then he has appeared on radio and television and taught seminars, Sunday school classes, and Bible college classes in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Washington, Colorado, Haiti, Peru, China, India, Honduras, South Africa, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka. As shown below, he is into fossil digging.

After working in the computer industry for over 27 years, Dave went through a midlife career change in 1999 and became a fulltime high school science teacher. He holds a Louisiana lifetime certificate to teach physics, chemistry, biology, general science and mathematics. He has two master's degrees, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction - Secondary Science Education, and Master of Arts in Science Teaching as well as a Masters Plus 30.

Soft Dinosaur Skin, 1000s of Fossilized Human Footprints, many with Dino Footprints - with Dr. Aaron Judkins

Hadrosaur Skin

On this episode of Genesis Week, Ian Juby talks about the 2012 find of soft dinosaur skin. See Press Release Here.

Then Ian interviews Dr. Aaron Judkins on the 1000s of fossilized human footprints that throw a huge wrench in the evolutionists belief system. Therefore, verified human fossilized footprints are thrown out and suppressed, especially when they are in conjunction with dinosaur footprints or throw off the evolutionists' dating system.

Dr. Judkins is the author of  The Global Phenomenon of Human Fossil Footprints in Rock

One of the most exciting anthropological evidences found around the world today is the phenomenon of human fossil footprints in rock. The human foot shows some of the most important characteristics of human anatomy.It is most useful to understand why evolution makes the claims it does and then compare it to the evidence.The dating techniques, geologic column, and the history of mankind which evolution has taught are in complete disarray with the empirical evidence. It is imperative that one understands the fallacies of the geologic column and the dating technique used to date rocks and fossils, and the supposed progression from ape to man. Since mainstream science only appreciates the evolutionary concept, the first part of thisbook is dedicated to dispelling this theory. This entails a detailed analysis of the theory of evolution, Darwinism, and the general impact this has had on academia. The second half of this book examines the global phenomenonof human fossil footprints in rock.

Design of the Human Visual System - Dr. Randy Guliuzza

The human eye is so highly specialized that Charles Darwin mused whether his theory was not preposterous in light of the eye's complexity. Darwin should have listened to his instincts, because scientific discoveries in the last 130 years have shown that the human visual system is so complex it is absurd to attribute its development to random natural processes. This discussion will cover several of the fascinating design features of the visual system, including microscopic and gross critical interaction between visual, memory and motor centers of the brain. The inescapable conclusion will be that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Dr. Randy Guliuzza  is a captivating speaker who presents well-documented and often humorous scientific and biblical talks to audiences of all ages. He has represented ICR in several scientific debates at secular universities and in other forums. Dr. Guliuzza has a B.S. in Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, a B.A. in theology from Moody Bible Institute, an M.D. from the University of Minnesota, and a Masters in Public Health from Harvard University. Dr. Guliuzza served nine years in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps and is a registered Professional Engineer. In 2008, he retired as Lt. Col. from the U.S. Air Force, where he served as Flight Surgeon and Chief of Aerospace Medicine. He is the author of Made in His Image: Examining the complexities of the human body

Presentation Titles & Descriptions

The Human Visual System The human eye is so highly specialized that Charles Darwin mused whether his theory was not preposterous in light of the eye’s complexity. Darwin should have listened to his instincts, because scientific discoveries in the last 130 years have shown that the human visual system is so complex it is absurd to attribute its development to random natural processes. This discussion will cover several of the fascinating design features of the visual system, including microscopic and gross critical interaction between visual, memory and motor centers of the brain. The inescapable conclusion will be that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. The Reproductive System: Fascinating Evidence for Design-Part I (Dad’s Role) This presentation will cover rarely discussed details of human reproduction that form irrefutable arguments for a supernaturally designed system. All topics are covered in a tasteful manner and there is no discussion of external anatomy. Rather, the listener is put into the seat of a typical medical student taking in the detailed--though thoroughly explained--process of reproductive physiology and microscopic anatomy. The Reproductive System: Fascinating Evidence for Design-Part II (Mom’s Role) Topics will include (1) how mother’s immune system is controlled by the baby to prevent its own rejection, (2) how random genetic mutations could never produce the intricate, coordinated physiology necessary for fertilization and (3) how baby’s hormones maintain pregnancy, control maternal metabolism and prime the mother for partuition. The content of both talks is strictly scientific, but the inescapable conclusions give God all the glory, showing that we are truly fearfully and wonderfully made.

Noah's Ark - Could it be True? - Jason Browning

Download PDF of this presentation. | Most people, including man Christians, regard the biblical account of Noah's flood as just a story or exageration of a local event. But there is considerable evidence that it could be true. In fact, Noah's flood is necessary to explain the geologic column, and the expected result would be an appearance of evolution as higher-level animals escapte the flood waters longer and get buried in higher layers.



NJBibleScience.org is a "Creation Study Group" whose purpose is to examine various aspects of the creation-evolution debate, educating Christians and non-Christians on the evidences in support of creation, and exposing the weaknesses of evolution. We desire that Christians be strengthened to defend their faith on this subject. We desire to help skeptics and seekers overcome the intellectual barrier that evolution explains how we got here, therefore making God and the Bible unnecessary. We recognize that "intelligent design" and "old-earth creationism" have many good arguments that point people to God and that He created, but ultimately we interpret the Bible and its historical accounts with a straightforward reading, believing that God created in six 24-hour days about 6,000 years ago. However, the most important aspect of this debate is to emphasize that God exists, He created, the Bible says so, and science confirms it.

Creation + The Bible = No Excuses! - Jason Browning

With the evidence we have from creation and direct revelation from God in the Bible, we have no excuse for not surrendering our lives to our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.

²⁰ 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, ²¹ 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. ²² Professing to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
²⁴ Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, ²⁵ who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. - Romans1:20-25

Presented by Jason Browning at a NJBibleScience.org meeting.

Meetings are usually monthly on Fridays, from 7:30-9:30 p.m., held at Monmouth Worship Center in Marlboro, NJ.

Top 15 Evidences for God and Creation - Jason Browning

Top 15 Evidences for God and Creation

These evidences are the result of over 25 years of extensive study of the creation-evolution topic, using the best lines of reasoning from both the creation and intelligent design communities. Evidence #1 is the witness of the Bible, but pretty much all of the other evidences are based on purely scientific and fundamental arguments.

Plant Power! Capitalizing on Chaos - Dr. Gary Parker

Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship was privileged to have as their December 1, 2006 speaker, Dr. Gary Parker. The title of Dr. Parker's talk was "Plant Power! Capitalizing on Chaos."

Plants are stunning evidence of Creation and Dr. Parker will show us why in his presentation. The random motion of water molecules, under correct direction and in a properly designed system, can be converted to direct motion. Hence we get water moving in plants and even up the tall Redwoods.

Dr. Parker is a Professor of Biology at the Institute for Creation Research and an internationally renowned speaker on creation. He is also a speaker for Answers in Genesis. Once an atheist who taught evolution to his biology students, he was very critical of Christians who compromised by denying a literal reading of Genesis. By doing this he had hoped to convert them to evolution. But they turned the tables on him. Now as a Christian, he still is critical of those who compromise the Bible, but he now uses his knowledge of evolution to show how scientific facts have failed to support the theories put forth by evolutionists.

Parker was previously the head of the Science Department at Clearwater Christian College (CCC) in Florida. He also served for twelve years on the science faculty of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) in the San Diego area. Dr. Parker has worked with Ken Ham, founder and Executive Director of AIG, at some of the well-attended Answers in Genesis seminars. He has also conducted citywide Understanding Genesis conferences. Gary was also co-presenter with Ken Ham in the popular video series, Answers in Genesis. He has appeared in numerous films and television programs and has lectured worldwide on creation. His most recent books are Exploring the World Around Us and The Fossils Book. Dr. Parker and his wife Mary are currently hosting a Creation Adventure Museum near Arcadia, Florida. They conduct Creation Workshops, fossil hunting and Canoe trips on the Peace River. The Family Program and Home School credit is provided by Mrs. Mary Parker, Museum Curator, field paleontologist and Dry Bones co-author.

Dr. Parker began his teaching career as a non-Christian and EVOLUTIONIST. The details of his spiritual and scientific conversion, From Evolution to Creation, include several comic incidents. For example, he was once a participant in a debate where his own science department defended the Bible against the Bible department, which defended evolution! Among his other publishing credits are five programmed textbooks in biology and six books in Creation Science (the latter translated into eight foreign languages).

Dr. Gary E. Parker is Chief Science Educator and Co-founder of Creation Adventures Museum.
