► July 15 – 7 PM – Phoenix: The Grand Canyon. Right here in Arizona lies a massive display of evidence for the Biblical worldwide flood. It’s the Grand Canyon, one of the geologic wonders of the world, which many scientists have postulated was created by gradual uniform processes over millions or billions of years. The power of the Young Earth and Noah’s Flood theories becomes clear because the Old Earth and Uniformitarian theories cannot explain for the Grand Canyon: (1) the presence of fossils; (2) the presence of thousands of feet of nearly horizontal sedimentary rock layers with nearly flat contacts; (3) the presence of folded rocks that are not broken; (4) the presence of sedimentary structures such as cross-bedding; (5) the huge size of the Canyon; and (6) the location of the Canyon relative to geologic structures and topography. Every Arizonan should see and hear AzOSA Resident Geologist Jim Clarke’s incisive presentation. Flood geology is not mythical – it is right here to see!
► July 16 – 7:00 PM – Tempe: The Grand Canyon. Jim Clarke repeats his stirring presentation at the convenient East Valley location. (See above.) Every Arizonan really should know the amazing truth on display in the Grand Canyon!
► July 19-20 (two days) – (6:15 PM Friday; 7:00 AM Saturday) – Phoenix: Creation Forum. “Educated, excited and accessible” describe the topflight Origin Science thinkers and speakers at this first-ever forum. All available in one cool venue convenient to anyone with a car, the speakers’ topics will range from dinosaurs to global warming to Darwinism to Flood geology – and beyond. An ingenious dual track schedule makes available a choice of a “technical talk” or a “general talk” for most hours, so there is always something meaningful and uplifting for everyone at any level. Click to identify the presenters and get the detailed Schedule HERE. You cannot beat the price for this assemblage of science, logic and enthusiasm: FREE! Honestly, there is no reason to miss this stellar event. Get the info by clicking HERE.

► July 25 – 7:00 PM – Tucson: The Grand Canyon. Repeated conveniently in Pima County for Southern Arizona and anyone who missed it – Jim Clarke’s presentation delivers the local, visible evidence of Noah’s Flood directly for thoughtful people to consider. Old Earth and Uniformitarian theories have met their match, and it’s all right here. Last chance – don’t miss this one! Click for details and location of Pima County Events here.
► July 30 – 7:00 PM – Payson Public Library: Volcanism in Arizona from a Biblical Perspective. Did you know that more than 30% of the land surface in Arizona shows volcanic features? AzOSA’s Resident Geologist, Jim Clarke, describes how Arizona once was one of the most volcanically active locations on Earth. The big question is: when? Was that volcanic activity millions of years ago, or only within the last 6,500 years as the Bible indicates? Come learn the distinctive facts about the different types of volcanoes – and see whether the Bible provides the best explanation for the historical presence in Arizona.

The previous Grand Canyon bus trip was fully attended and a huge success. Why? Because it uniquely supplied church leaders with distinctly personal connections to origin science concepts revealed in Arizona’s Grand Canyon. And Russ Miller stands tall among effective and entertaining presenters.
This year there is one trip is for church members (Aug. 17), and one for church leaders (Sep. 10). Sign yourself up for the August 17 trip right now. Then, think of three church leaders to invite for the free trip on September 10. It is so very easy to do. Click here to get links for the flyer, and send it to the church leaders by email, fax or letter. Help also by donating to support the church leader trip – it’s an investment in origin science like no other. Take the five minutes now to sign up, sponsor a pastor, and invite church leaders. See online videos about the trip subject matter. You can visit Russ Miller’s website for additional details. Email David McNabb for questions or assistance for either bus trip.
The AzOSA Board has voted to honor Russ Miller and his Creation, Evolution & Science Ministries, by awarding him a lifetime honorary membership. Visit his website and thank him for his unflagging service to Arizona and the origin science educational mission. His work inspires us all to keep the faith and spread the truth.

Get the expert to settle the issues, once and for all. Mike Riddle’s Advanced Creation Apologetics course comes to Arizona this Fall, and you can help make this course available at your church or other organization. The timeframe is September through November, 2013. No cost to the church for the course, and individual students pay only bargain basement fees. The facility needs to be a classroom or other space big enough for 20-30 students with room for a projector and screen. The course runs Friday evening through Saturday. The topic areas include: (1) The need for apologetics (Biblical discernment); (2) Presuppositionalism; (3) Critical Thinking and Issues in Science; (4) The Value of Good Questions; (5) The Transcendental Argument for God’s Existence; (6) Logic and Logical Fallacies; (7) Theodicy (resolving the problem of evil); (8) Knowing how to Answer Questions about Rights; (9) The Gospel, Apologetics, and Evangelism.
Don’t miss the chance to have an entertaining national expert personally take you and your church members to another level of expertise! Bring Mike Riddle to your church or other organization – contact him directly here.
