8:00 PM: Creation vs. Evolution – Does It Really Matter? - Presentation by Scott Jarus.

the influence it has on your belief in the Scriptures, and the foundation it is for the Christian faith.

Saturday Morning, May 31st

8:30 AM: Introduction

In Six Days? - Presentation by Gary Winkler

Were the six days of creation literal or metaphorical? What does a correct interpretation of scripture tell us?
If they are literal days and the earth is young, is there scientific evidence to back that up?
This presentation will thoroughly examine both science & scripture in order to answer these questions.

Why Is There Death and Suffering in the World? - Presentation by Scott Jarus

Most Christians have been asked this question… but how do we respond? What is the best way to answer with biblical truth and at the same time
provide comfort and understanding to those who are hurting? This presentation identifies the biblical way to approach this difficult subject.

9:45 AM Attendees may choose from one of these two presentations:

Science and the Bible: Are They Compatible? - Presentation by Marv Schaefer

While the Bible is not a science book, it does speak of science. Since it is the Word of God it must be accurate… and it is. There are laws of nature that are described in Scripture thousands of years before scientists discovered them. This presentation will explore this fascinating topic..

Creation Evangelism - God Clearly Seen - Presentation by Scott Jarus

Every day, God uses His creation to display Himself to the world.  Blind random chance cannot bring about the
irreducible complexity we see in creation, which reveals His infinite wisdom and goodness.  Learn why creation is foundational
to the message of salvation and how to come alongside the greatest Evangelist and effectively proclaim Him to others.

The Top 10 Reasons to Reject Evolution – Presentation by Marv Schaefer

There are a multitude of excellent reasons to reject the theory of evolution, let’s look at the Top Ten! Scientific evidence will be presented that refutes the “millions of years” and “goo-to-you” claims of the evolutionists. We will also look at the significant scriptural and theological issues that follow when we compromise the Word of God with man’s fallible ideas.

Earth, Our Privileged Planet - Presentation by Denny Genovese

Every living thing on this planet is dependent on so many other things for survival. This presentation will examine the mind-boggling
symbiosis and complexity necessary to sustain life on this planet and will rightly give praise to the God of Creation.
