Dr. Kent Hovind vs Dr. Eugenie Genie Scott - #Creation / #Evolution Radio Debate

Broadcast on WBT Radio, (Charlotte, NC) in 1993. Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education debates Young Earth Creationist Kent Hovind.


BIO: Dr. Kent Hovind

Bio from http://creationtoday.org/about/dr-kent-hovind/

Kent Hovind became a Christian at age sixteen and immediately desired to serve Christ with his life. His keen interest in math and science throughout his high school career prompted his enrollment at Illinois Central College as a science major. After two years of undergraduate work there, and feeling God calling him to full-time Christian service, he completed his bachelor of religious education degree at Midwestern Baptist College of Pontiac, Michigan in 1974.

For fifteen years Hovind taught high school math and science, during which time he completed his master’s degree in education. While researching and writing his doctoral dissertation on the subject of creation vs. evolution, he saw the tremendous need for exposing evolution as a dangerous, religious worldview, and for arming Christians with scientific evidence that there are no contradictions between true science and the Bible. In response to these needs, shortly after finishing his Ph.D. in religious education, he began a full-time ministry of presenting the foundational truth of creation and the utter fallacy of evolution with a mission of strengthening the faith of believers and winning the lost to Christ. His award-winning seven-part Creation Seminar continues to travel around the globe with translations in thirty-two languages.

Kent Hovind contributes his creation resources exclusively through Creation Today and The Creation Store.

In the Shadows of Mt. St. Helens - Dr. Brad Harrub




http://www.focuspress.org For many individuals, the field of geology remains a hurdle in harmonizing a young earth with the scientific data. The formation of multiple strata layers and deep canyons was previously considered a slow process over long periods of time. The May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens changed all of that. Rather than basing geology around long-age "assumptions," scientists discovered a living laboratory that provided some startling information. We invite you to enter the blast zone with Dr. Brad Harrub and his son Will as they discover the Truth regarding these geological processes and the age of the earth.

Website: http://www.focuspress.org

Join Dr. Brad Harrub and Will Harrub on location in the blast zone of Mount St. Helens as they journey together to discover the age of the earth.

Brad Harrub holds an earned B.S. degree in biology from Kentucky Wesleyan College, and an earned doctorate degree in anatomy and neurobiology from the College of Medicine at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. He is a professional apologist and traveles the world presenting seminars on Christian Evidences.

What is Carbon Dating? - Mike Riddle


Part 1

In this first of two sessions on carbon-14, Mike answers 3 important questions:
• What is carbon-14? 
• Where does carbon-14 come from?
• How can carbon-14 be used to determine age?

Mike concludes by presenting powerful, observational evidence why carbon-14 demonstrates the earth is young and not billions of years old. As Christians we are called to guard the truth against all false teachings (1 Timothy 6:20). The evolutionists' teaching of billions of years is a false teaching and we should not compromise God's Word to be like the world.


Part 2

In session two on carbon-14, Mike discusses two important aspects about carbon-14.
1. How does the carbon-14 dating method work?
2. How reliable is the carbon-14 dating method?

Mike points out three things that must be known for carbon-14 dating to work.
1. How long does it take C-14 to decay?
2. What was the starting amount of C-14 in the creature when it died?
3. Are there any assumptions involved?

Question one poses no problem. Numbers two and three do present major problems for the carbon-14 dating method. Question three also challenges the reliability of reported dates.

Creation Geology: The Key To Unraveling Earth History - Patrick Nurre


Seminar by Patrick Nurre.
January 24th, 2014



Description:
If the world is truly billions of years old, we would expect to see this in the geologic record - the rocks, minerals and fossils. Secular geologists tell us emphatically that the earth is billions of years old, having been sculpted by slow and gradual geologic processes, punctuated by brief, local catastrophes. But is this view based on scientific facts or a philosophy framed by biases? Come take a journey with us as we unravel this history and discover just how accurately the Book of Genesis explains the geology of the earth. We will look at 1) how the rocks and minerals fit within a Genesis view, 2) the significance of fossils, and 3) how the global flood explains geologic formations around the world.

About the Speaker:
Patrick Nurre was trained in the secular view of geology. Over the past 40 years he has been actively involved in the Creation/Evolution issue in the field of geology. He has spoken to hundreds of college students, and is a popular speaker at many conventions and homeschool conferences. In 2005, Patrick created Northwest Treasures to provide opportunities to study geology from a Biblical perspective. In the fall of 2012, he opened the Geology Learning Center, a geology museum/educational center located in Mountlake Terrace, WA. Patrick leads field trips each year to many geological sites including his annual field trip to Yellowstone Park in August.

Explosive Geological Evidence For Creation: Mt. St. Helens



Description:
Geology and the assumption of an ancient earth have been used as a wedge to cast doubt on God's Word for over 200 years. Many believe Mt. St. Helens was God's wake-up call to the compromising Christian community. This highly visual presentation shows the result of the earth reshaping forces which were occurring during and subsequent to the world wide flood.

From the rapid formation of vast rock layers to dinosaurs; from the origin of the ice age to coal formation; this talk shows how science supports a straightforward Biblical perspective of earth history.

About the Speaker:

Bruce Malone gave his life to Christ over 20 years ago, as the Lord miraculously preserved him through a close call with death. Since that time Bruce has looked for a deeper purpose in life and realized that rejection of Biblical truth, justified by belief in evolution, is the acid which is eating away at the moral foundation of our culture.

Bruce spent 27 years working as a research leader for the Dow Chemical Corporation, has a degree chemical engineering, and is responsible for key innovations which have resulted in 18 patents. But his passion is sharing the relevance and evidence for creation, so he retired early to become full time Director of Search for the Truth Ministries (http://www.searchforthetruth.net/). Bruce has spoken extensively at Colleges and Charities in 12 countries. Since 2008 Bruce has spoken over 300 times to more than 20,000 people and over 30,000 books have been distributed to students and prisoners.

Bruce brings science alive through stories and demonstrations, showing that Biblical creation is the most rational explanation for the world around us. The purpose of both his books and lectures is to help the non-scientific layman understand the importance of creation while motivating and equipping them to share these truths.

Bruce resides in Midland, MI with his wife Robin, and they have four children who are all actively serving the Lord. Click here to contact Bruce to arrange a speaking engagement at your church or organization.

AGE OF THE EARTH

"I always accepted and trusted what I heard. This video opened my eyes to the need to question what is being taught. Most of it is not based on facts. I can't wait for another DVD!" - Steve

This DVD includes three videos:

The Age Of The Earth (26 minutes)

 Age Of THe Earth - 6000 Years

Age Of The Earth - See Darwinian estimates of the age of the earth are based on unreliable mnethods and circular reasoning. Then learn how science, when properly used, gives an age ofthe earth of just thousands of years, not millions of years. (Watch the Age Of The Earth video online.)
Two, short bonus features are also included:

How Can We See Distant Starlight? - If the universe is just thousands of years old, how can we see starlight from stars billions of yesars away? It's a mind-bending question that requires the ability to understand time dilation and physics. Or maybe there is asimple answer. One answer is provided in the "Age Of The Earth" video, a simplier answer is provided here. (Watch the Distant Starlight video online).

Is The Bible Circular Reasoning? - The "Age Of The Earth video shows how an earth billions of years old is based on circular reasoning. But is the fact that the Bible is true also based on circular reasoning? Find out why the Bible is a self-attesting truth. (Watch the Is The Bible Circular Reasoning video online.)

Dating Methods/Man and Dinosaurs | Complete Creation, 2nd Ed., Part 8 - Ian Juby



Part 8: Dating Methods/Man and Dinosaurs
Ian shows how the "absolute" dating methods used on rocks aren't so absolute - in fact the whole system is fraught with error from beginning to end.  To finish off the idea of deep time and an old earth, Ian then introduces the compelling evidence that man and dinosaurs lived together and man has been around since the beginning of time.

Noah's Flood: Key to Understanding the Age of the Earth - Creation Magazine LIVE!

Click on the slide! 

Creation Magazine Live

In these special made-for-TV episodes, watch Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith of CMI–Canada as they discuss some of the most-asked topics and questions that are regularly dealt with in our world-renowned Creation magazine.

 

 Part 1

If the rock layers found all over the earth are a result of a global flood then they cannot also be evidence for slow deposition over millions of years. An understanding of what the Flood was like and what it could accomplish (geologically) is a key to understanding the age of the Earth.

The Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT) model is discussed as a mechanism operating during the Flood to explain many large scale geologic features observed today. This discussion continues in part 2, Episode #16 below.

Beginnings Session 2 - How Old Is It? - Eric Hovind



Session 2 - How Old Is It? by Creation Today


Something To Think About

Do we really know that the earth is ancient? Have we heard the evidence from the other side? The truth is that the evidence points strongly to a young earth. In fact, even dinosaurs fit into this worldview. God has given us limiting factors observable by science that point to a young earth, and confirm the account given in Scripture of a young creation and of a global flood about 4,400 years ago.

What To Watch For

Serious problems exist with the Big Bang and old-earth theories. Limiting factors put a reliable date on earth's creation at about 6,000 years ago. Watch for these limiting factors and how each one points to a young earth. Old-earth Evolutionism doesn't stand up to this evidence. Pay special attention to the ways this theory directly contradicts the Biblical account. Evolutionism is not compatible with Biblical Christianity. Notice how many of the things that we would assume (based upon the barrage of evolutionary propaganda) are very old are, in fact, quite young. This lesson will present evidences that point conclusively to a young earth, thus taking from Evolutionism the thing it needs so desperately -- millions and millions of years.


Discussion Questions

1. How do limiting factors demonstrate a young earth?

These natural phenomena date back fairly recently, indicating that earth's age cannot be much older than 6,000 years. Otherwise, these phenomena would be much older, too. Other indicators, such as current population sizes, etc., as well as the complete absence of older phenomena, clearly confirm the Bible, which gives us a 4,000-year history prior to Christ.

2. Why does the establishment propagate lies such as the necessity of long ages for the formation of stalactites and stalagmites?

Much time is needed to afford the theory of evolution. Evolutionism requires much more time than is evidenced. Examples such as "million-year-old" stalactites are necessary to overcome the embarrassing limiting factors that disprove their faulty worldview.

3. According to the dates given in the Bible, the earth is about 6,000 years old. Evolutionists claim that it is billions of years old. How does this conflict affect the lost and the faith of believers?

It casts doubt and unbelief in the minds of the lost and unbelievers. If they cannot trust Genesis, a book to which almost every other book in the Bible refers, and a book to which Jesus himself referred, stating, "In the beginning..." then how can they trust other parts of the Word of God?

Application

As this worldview of Evolutionism continues to permeate our educational system and society, crime, sin, disease, and evil continue to skyrocket. But this worldview of millions of years is entirely based upon lies. Many of those who call themselves scientists are ignoring the scientific data that does not fit within their worldview. Regardless of how many of these Evolutionary scientists are atheists and how many are not, the end result of this worldview is indeed Atheism and rejection of God's Holy Word. We should hold God's Word in the highest regard. Rather than allow our children to be poisoned by a science falsely so-called that leads to a breakdown of social morals, we should teach them to trust the Word of God. Science has confirmed this sacred account over and over again. A young earth is true not because we have found the evidence, but because the Bible says so. However, God is not a man that He should lie, and we can be assured that true science will always confirm what God has already revealed in His Word. The testimony of Scripture tells us the earth is young -- and science agrees.

Challenge

Commit several of these limiting factors to memory. Next time you are around an acquaintance who believes the world is old, give them a limiting factor to think about. Treat it like a random piece of trivia that you are sharing with them. Then get them to ponder why this limiting factor is so, if the earth truly is old. Share your suspicion that the earth is actually quite young. Perhaps this may become an opportunity to share the truth of God's Word.

A Thousand Years In A Day - Dr. G. Thomas Sharp


A Thousand Years in a Day: The Mt. St. Helens Catastrophe By Dr. G. Thomas Sharp of the Creation Truth Foundation

"Did you know that God can and has used natural processes in a supernatural way to impact the surface of the earth with thousands of years of change in only ONE day? What do you suppose happened when “all of the fountains of the great deep opened” at the beginning of the Flood of Noah? When you look at the canyons, mountains, rock layers and fossils of the earth, how do you explain them? The Bible has sound, reasonable explanations for these marvelous observations. Did you know that in 1980 an eleven-year process was begun at Mt. St. Helens that epitomized on a small scale the action and results of the Great Genesis Flood…that it was proven that God could take a catastrophe and do the geological work of thousands, even millions, of years in ONE day? In this program, G. Dr. Sharp will be your guide through the seconds, minutes and days the eye-opening action of catastrophic earth slides, tidal-like waves, mud flows and other residual effects of the history-making Mt. St. Helens Catastrophe. You will see, with your own eyes, the ability of catastrophic action do the work of thousands of years…IN JUST ONE DAY!"
