“Is Genesis History?” the movie.

Presented by Frank Mayo

The recent theater showings of the movie “Is Genesis History?” has made a big impact across the nation. The movie presents a series of PhD scientists being interviewed about the evidence from their field of science that supports the Biblical concept of a young supernatural creation. Many of you saw the movie earlier this year and found it very impressive, but how much do you really remember? We will replay the interviews and stop after each to invite discussion about what the main points being presented are. We hope to build a more solid understanding of what are the most essential points from each expert. That will help us all have the confidence to recommend or show the movie to others. All are invited to bring your question large and small.

Dinosaurs!

Presented by Frank Mayo

Nothing captures the imagination of kids and the public in general like dinosaurs! Unfortunately, nothing implies the claims of evolution more strongly than the way dinosaurs are commonly presented. However, many of the assumptions and implication in the common presentation quite wrong. For example, recent fossil research is showing the presence of soft tissue still in many large dinosaur bones. Not only that but short-lived radiocarbon C-14 is being found there also! There is much more that indicates the usual assumptions of evolution and historical geology are quite mistaken. Moreover, some dinosaurs are described in the Bible. We will use excerpts from ICR’s great DVD set Uncovering the Truth About Dinosaurs to guide our discussion. We invite all to bring your question about dinosaurs, creation and the Bible.

Designer Genes and Information

by Robert Brayton

Brayton will examine the inner workings of the molecular information system of the living cell. Information and the molecular system that stores and utilizes information is probably the most essential aspect of life itself.  He will also explore what John von Neumann, the father of the modern computer, called the implausibility of molecular evolution. Additionally, he will debut a little discussed requirement in the molecular abiogenesis model of the origin of the first life. That requirement poses a compelling challenge to the naturalistic worldview of the evolution of the information system of the living cell.

Prior to 2006 Brayton designed computer systems, including research in digital hardware, firmware and software with two patents for major companies. He studied at Purdue University, LeTourneau University, and the Texas School of Photography. As a Certified Professional Photographer, he now operates a photography business named PhotoVideoSound. His other interests include astrophotography, art, music, and Mensa.
