► Feb 18 – 7:00 PM – Phoenix / N. Scottsdale: Was Darwin Wrong, Part II. Evolution is taught as “fact” in textbooks, schools, museums, national parks, and the media, but has modern science really confirmed Darwin’s theory? Mary Jo Nutting shows why the common “proofs” of evolution do not survive scientific scrutiny, but instead affirm the Biblical account of creation and the fall. This understandable, beautifully illustrated program helps you and your family ask the right questions so that you will not be deceived by the “accepted” scientific dogma and typical textbook arguments. Mary Jo Nutting holds a Masters Degree in Biology and is Co-Director of the Alpha Omega Institute.
► Feb 18 – 8:00 PM – Phoenix / N. Scottsdale: Amazing Plant and Animal Relationships, Part I. Same exact time, same exact place – is that evidence of luck or of design? Evolution’s assertion that species arose by slow and gradual changes through natural selection and beneficial mutations cannot really explain the origins of relationships that require the presence of each organism at the same time and the same place in order to assure survival and continued propagation of all species. Check out the astounding symbiotic and parasitic relationships that Joel Emilio presents – your view of nature may never be the same!
► Feb 19 – 7:00 PM – Tempe: Photosynthesis. Let’s see … undirected processes can create machines that use sunlight to convert water and dirt into sugar. That is evolution’s claim – photosynthesis arose by a series of convenient accidents – is it even possible? Come see and hear Joel Emilio demolish the myth!
► Feb 19 – 8:00 PM – Tempe: A Creationist Tour of National Parks: Time is Not the Hero of the Plot! Dave Nutting, M.S., Geology, and Director, Alpha Omega Institute, takes you on a virtual tour of national parks and other locations. See “other side” of the geologic story – the side that park rangers don’t usually mention. Does it take millions of years to form geologic features? Based upon research and field study, Dave says, “No!” Deep canyons could well have been carved quickly through solid rock in as little as one day. Giant ripple marks, massive gravel deposits, enormous “now dry” waterfalls, and other fascinating features all point to catastrophic floods in the past. Learn how these could relate to Noah’s Flood and subsequent events. After this visual tour, you will see the scenery through different eyes on your next vacation!
► Feb 20 – 7:00 PM – Ariz. Christian Univ.: What To Do When You Have No Answer. The antidote to every Biblical worldview advocate’s nightmare – what to do if you just don’t have an answer to a tough question? David Nutting leads this session to help “fire-proof” you and your family to stand firmly on the Word of God. It gives answers for common “proofs” of evolution and teaches you to ask the right questions. Dave shows you how to use the “STOP” method when you have no clue how to answer an evolutionary argument. PERFECT for students, too!

► Feb 21 – 7:00 PM – Tucson: Dinosaurs, Dragons and Man. How do dinosaurs fit with the Bible? Have people ever seen dinosaurs? What’s the evidence? Evolutionary interpretations lead children in a contra-Biblical direction, but the facts can establish the truth. Ancient artwork and artifacts from around the world depict creatures that look like dinosaurs. Did these ancient artists base their artwork on dinosaurs they had actually seen? Join “Dinosaur Dave” Nutting as he paints a new view of dinosaurs – one usually not taught in museums, schools, or books. Using vivid color visuals, Dave presents the evidence and a view of dinosaurs that is consistent with the Bible. Bring your skeptical friends!

Open Letter to Christians and Friends of the CSHF: “The Creation Science Hall of Fame is your site. As directors of the CSHF, we want all creationists to feel part of this movement, web site and future building. We want to support all of the worlds’ best creationists….meaning those who have worked in the creation science field for a decent amount of time and who have Honored God’s Word as literally written in Genesis. We want to recognize Creation clubs, museums, Creation organizations as well as placing those who participate in the Creation Science arena on the Honorable Mention page of the CSHF web site.
“We can’t do this alone. We need your help … in building the first ever Creation Science Hall of Fame. It will be a place to honor and recognize those creationists who have dedicated their time and resources to demonstrate that God’s Word can be trusted. … In the spirit of Hebrews 11, and Romans 13:7, we seek to preserve the testimony and give honor where honor is due for all that the Christian community owes our inductees. We intend to have exhibits with pictures of Creationists, their stories, and artifacts of living as well as deceased Creationists. Over the years people will remember the contributions these people made to the world. If these men and women Creationists pass on, no one will remember their accomplishments, theories, bio-artifacts, etc., because their belongings, i.e., papers, signatures, photos, etc., will be scattered to future beneficiary basements only to be discarded in the future.
The Creation Science Hall of Fame will be a safe haven for those who would otherwise be forgotten. It will demonstrate to the world that there were and are reputable scientists who demonstrated a Super Natural Creation and showed that Darwinian Evolution was not possible.
“I’m asking you to partner with us and help build the first ever Creation Science Hall of Fame. You may donate any amount and we will place you or your family names on the ‘Wall of Honor’ inside the Creation Science Hall of Fame. Just click on ‘donate’ upon viewing the web site: Creation Science Hall of Fame. All inductees are encouraged to start collecting their Bio-Artifacts. In Christ, Nick Lally, Chairman, Board of Directors, The Creation Science Hall of Fame “
