Jay Seegert to Present in November

Jay Seegert, an international speaker and author is the Founder and Keynote Speaker for The Starting Point Project. He holds degrees in both Physics and Engineering Technology (Univ. of Wisconsin-Whitewater & John Brown University, respectively). He serves on the Board of Directors for Logos Research Associates. He is a speaker for the Creation Science Association of Fiji. Jay is a former adjunct speaker for Creations Ministry International; and is the former president of the Creation Science Society of Milwaukee.

Jay has been speaking on Creation/Evolution and the Authority of Scripture, as well as many other apologetic topics, for over 34 years

The primary focus of The Starting Point Project is to help strengthen the Christian’s faith, so they are more confident in what they believe and consequently better positioned to mentor their own children and share the Gospel message with family, friends, relatives, co-workers or anyone else who lacks a true saving relationship with Christ.

Secondarily, the SPP also offer a very gracious challenge to the skeptic who sincerely struggles knowing and understanding the truths as taught in God’s Word.

The SPP offers free presentations to churches, conferences, schools and universities, etc. covering the following topics, among others:

• Evidence for the existence of God
• Evidence for the inerrancy and Divine inspiration of the Bible
• Worldviews and our “starting point”
• Creation vs. evolution
• Bible vs. Science controversy
• How to “college-proof” your faith
• Biblical evangelism
 

Scientific Evidence for the Inspiration of the Bible – Two Presentations


November 8 @ 4:30 pm

Liberty Baptist Church
3100 N Williamson Valley
Prescott, AZ

November 9 @ 7:00 pm
Arizona Christian University,
1 W Firestorm Way Administration Building @ AT&T Auditorium
Glendale, AZ

Everything we believe as Christians rests on the assumption that the Bible is actually the inspired, error-free Word of God… but how do we know that? It’s not politically correct to believe the Bible alone is the inspired Word of God and most Christians cannot defend this belief. Are we to exercise blind faith, or is there a great body of evidence supporting this crucial point? This topic presents incredible scientific evidence showing beyond doubt that the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God!
 

Creation to Christ

November 8 @ 10:30 am
Black Mountain Baptist Church
33955 N Cave Creek Rd
Cave Creek AZ

This fascinating presentation gives you the “big picture” of Old Testament history, fitting all the major pieces together in one continuous story, one timeline… from Creation to Christ… setting the stage for the New Testament and the Gospel message.

Most Christians know a fair amount about Jesus, but aren’t too familiar with the Old Testament. It is often perceived as a collection of disconnected, difficult to understand stories that have little relevance to our lives today or even the Gospel message.

However, far from just being a good source for finding occasionally entertaining children’s stories (e.g. Jonah and the “Whale”), it actually represents real history and is foundational to the Christian faith.

Were Moses and Abraham next door neighbors? Was there really an ice age?
Was there really a global flood?
Where do dinosaurs fit into the Bible? How did the Jews become slaves in Egypt?
What about all the violence in the Old Testament?
 

Creation in Six Days? A Biblical & Scientific Analysis

November 10 @ 7:00 pm

******* NEW EAST VALLEY LOCATION ******

Life’s Destiny Church
2601 E. Brown Rd
Mesa, AZ

Christians are often fairly united when it comes to the creation vs. evolution controversy. However, when it comes to the age of the Earth and “creation in six days”, there are differing views and often emotionally-charged debates, primarily because of how misunderstood this topic is.

This presentation clearly demonstrates that even though the age of the Earth is certainly not the most important concept in the Bible, it is a significant issue and can also be discussed in a very gracious, God-honoring manner, allowing the Holy Spirit to be the ultimate arbiter of Truth, as opposed to being forced to rely on “experts” (including the presenter) to tell us what we’re supposed to believe.
 

Evolution: Probable or Problematic?

November 12 @ 6:30 pm
Lake Havasu SDA Church
3130 Chemehuevi Blvd
Lake Havasu City, AZ

Certain aspects of evolution occasionally seem fairly plausible to many people… even Christians. If we use our imagination, we can envision fish slowly turning into amphibians, with their fins gradually being transformed into legs and their lungs adapting to breathing air.

However, when we take a closer look at what actually has to go on inside (in the DNA) we see a very different picture. It’s like looking under the hood of a beautiful red sports car only to find that its engine is completely missing! Presenting some cutting‐edge information about DNA, this presentation clearly demonstrates (in laymen’s terms) that molecules‐to‐man evolution is virtually impossible.
 

Creation vs. Evolution: A Case From Science

November 16 @ 7:00 pm

Pinetop-Lakeside Senior Center
1594 Johnson Drive
Lakeside, AZ

It is often claimed that living in an age of modern science makes it intellectually impossible to accept the straight-forward account of creation as read in the book of Genesis. Is this true, or is this just what we are “supposed to believe”? What does the evidence actually indicate? Creation vs. Evolution: The Case from Science” is an exciting presentation (in layman’s terms) of evidences for creation and challenges to evolution in three main areas:

• Origin of the Universe
• Origin of Life
• Origin of Species
 

Genesis and the Authority of Scripture

November 17 @ 7:00 pm

Payson First Baptist Church
303 W. Main St.
Payson, AZ

This talk gives an overview of the creation vs. evolution controversy and explains why it is so important to view the Bible as the final authority in all matters and that there is never any conflict between the Bible and science… just between the Bible and some scientist’s opinions. This topic is foundational to all other discussions regarding Christianity and will greatly aid in strengthening your faith in the Word of God (and not be intimidated by science)!
 

Intelligent Design: What’s it All About?

November 19 at 7:00 pm
Christ Community Church
530 S Pantano Road
Tucson AZ

We hear a lot of talk about “Intelligent Design” and the “Intelligent Design Movement” these days, but we’re not always sure what it’s all about. Is it just another name for “creationism” as many claim? Is there anything good about it? Is there anything to be concerned about? Is it really “science” or just another attempt at getting the Bible back into public schools, as the media and academic institutions would have us believe?

This talk defines “Intelligent Design” and discusses the pros and cons of this movement in a very easy to understand manner. It also covers some very fascinating examples of “intelligent design” that are sure to bolster your faith in the inspiration and authority of God’s Word.
