AZOSA Supports the Grand Canyon Movie Ministry

Consider that there are 6.5 million annual visitors to the Grand Canyon. Now consider each of these visitors being given (for free) the opportunity to watch a video that describes the Canyon geology as well as the scientific proof of its cataclysmic formation. Consider further this opportunity to share the Creator’s hand during the flood and His overarching plan of Salvation for all.
Creation Today Ministries is embarking on this movie ministry. AzOSA is committed to assisting with this project. To financially support this project AzOSA can be the conduit for your project donations. On the AzOSA website click on the Donate tab and scroll down to the Grand Canyon Movie Project. You can view the Grand Canyon Movie promotion video here. Enter your donation (via secure PayPal); AzOSA will then forward your contributions to Creation Today Ministry.

AzOSA Welcomes Dr. Russell Humphreys for October speaking events

Dr. Russell Humphreys is a retired physicist who researches, speaks, and writes about creation science, and has done so for the Institute for Creation Research and Creation Ministries International.

He holds a B.S. in physics from Duke University, and a Ph.D. in physics from Louisiana State University.

He worked at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a physicist, doing nuclear physics and geoscience research. He has published dozens of professional articles, received three U.S. patents, two Industrial Research magazine IR-100 awards, and several Sandia National Laboratories Awards for Excellence.

Although raised as an atheist, he received Jesus Christ as his personal Savior as a grad student in physics. A few years later, strong scientific evidence convinced him that the alleged billion-year “geologic ages” are fictional and that instead God created the world about 6,000 years ago.

His main research interest is the age of the world, including magnetic fields in the Solar System, salt in the ocean, nuclear decay dating, and cosmology. He has published many technical articles in creationist scientific journals, is a board member of the Creation Research Society, and an internationally known seminar speaker. He is the author of a popular book on creationist cosmology, Starlight and Time, a co-author of Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth, and a recent book, Earth’s Mysterious Magnetism, and that of other celestial orbs.
