Internationally Acclaimed Speaker Appearing All
Over Arizona This Month – Don’t Miss Dr. Sarfati  

If you attend only one AzOSA event this year: See, hear, and meet Dr. Jonathan Sarfati this month. From Prescott to Phoenix Metro to Tucson – don’t miss this opportunity to hear the widely-read author of several books and countless articles deliver solid facts and clear insights that can lift our understanding and energize our outreach. Visit AzOSA Events Calendar to see the whole schedule with details.  

The Christian Roots of Science – April 12 – 7:00 p.m. – Tempe  
Myth-busting presentation showing how the Bible stimulates scientific inquiry, why the Dark Ages are really quite misnamed, and how the Protestant Reformation further advanced science with an objective, Biblical worldview. Learn also how assuming the literal fall of the literal Adam propelled the scientific mindset.    
Design Deluge Dilemma – April 13 – 7:00 p.m.– Scottsdale  
Is there evidence for design? What would we expect to find if there really wsa a world-wide flood? What is the greatest dilemma facing the evolutionary worldview and what interpretation best fits the observable facts about our world?     
The Greatest Hoax on Earth – April 14 – 7:00 p.m. – Tucson  
Titled the same as Dr. Sarfati’s book, this engaging talk nails the fundamental – and often asked – questions: What is evolution really? What does the fossil record prove? Do transitional fossils exist and what do they show? What kind of worldview does evolutionism promote?    
Christian Roots of Science – April 16 – 10:00 a.m. – Prescott  
(See description above)  
Dinosaurs and the Bible – April 16 – 10:00 a.m. – Prescott  
Strange reptilian beasts, many that are giant, some that are ferocious – these are dinosaurs, the captivating creatures of the mysterious past. Does their existence bury the Bible or support it? Find out how dinosaur studies become a training tool to persuade school students to assume an old, evolved Earth – and how to harmonize Tyrannosaurus with the Truth!  
The Incarnation & Genesis – April 17 – 8:00 a.m. – Tempe  
Get a solid grasp on how Messianic Prophesies relate to Genesis and the Resurrection. The perfect Palm Sunday message!  
The Incarnation & Genesis – April 17 – 9:30 a.m. – Tempe  
(See description above)  
The Incarnation & Genesis – April 17 – 11:00 a.m. – Tempe  
(See description above)  
Design, Deluge & Dilemma – April 17 – 6:00 p.m. – Phoenix  
Young people may fall away from Christian faith when they are taught the materialist, evolutionist explanations for everything – leaving the Bible out as irrelevant to reality. Is our faith doomed? NO – and Every Christian Needs To Know Why Not! This wide-ranging discussion connects irrefutable evidence of design with Biblical history and theology in way that can overcome the “death and destruction” secular worldview.

Larry Kisner Grapples With A Tough
Challenge: Explaining the Universe

The Origin of the Universe and the Light-Travel Time Problem — Sunday, April 3. Larry Kisner, a veteran engineer and origin science speaker, outlines the science that corresponds with Bible truth in a special presentation at 9:45 a.m. to the Sunday School at Grace Church, 8701 E. Brown, Mesa. (Near Brown and 202) Mr. Kisner addresses: How did the universe begin? Is the Big Bang the Answer? If stars billions of light years away, how could the universe be less than 10,000 years old? Why does it take more faith to believe in a Big Bang than that God Created?

Apemen? Natural Selection? Dr. Kezele Swings Into the Fray

Two of the most common ideas today are the “apeman” and evolution’s concept of “natural selection.” Few secular people doubt that apemen existed before humans. And “survival of the fittest” – natural selection – is bandied about as though the term explained itself and was unquestionable. Don’t let this familiarity fool you. Hear Dr. Kezele dissect these ideas, one at a time:  
Who Were the Apemen? – April 6 – 6:30 p.m. – Cave Creek  

Natural Selection & Speciation – April 20 – 6:30 p.m. – Cave Creek

It’s Official: The Cochise Division Is Formed – May 2011 Presentation Is Scheduled

Under the leadership of Otto Richter, AzOSA Vice President, a Cochise Division now exists to serve southeast Arizonans interested in meeting like-minded people and learning more about origin science at a convenient location. On May 21, 2011, Dr. Kezele will deliver three talks in Sierra Vista at the Village Meadows Baptist Church at 9:00 a.m.

Sea Horses, Woodpeckers and Monarch Butterflies – May 21 – 9:00 a.m.  
Three fascinating creatures – none of which could possibly have merely evolved. Fun talk suitable for grade schoolers through retirees!    
Five Impossible Questions for Evolutionists – May 21 – 10:00 a.m.  
Every Christian really must have these five devastating responses to skeptics. (Hint: If you don’t know what they are … then you need this info!)    
Do You Have a Date with Carbon-14? – May 21 – 11:00 a.m.  
Whole worldviews rise or fall based upon this little tiny atom. You might be surprised how Carbon-14 dating, once a crown jewel of evolutionary analysis, is now embarrassing the evolutionists while it increasingly supports a creation-based view of origins. 

Come to this kickoff meeting on May 21 — a perfect time to get together, increase knowledge, and continue building the Cochise area network!

Be the Contact Person for Mike Riddle’s Upcoming Teacher Training Course

Here’s a great opportunity to “work at home” to promote solid origin science training for Christian teachers. Mike Riddle, the veteran creation science author and speaker, needs one volunteer to be the contact person for teachers wanting to sign up for his August 13 Christian Teacher Training course. All you need is a telephone and an email address – no special knowledge necessary. It’s easy, low volume, but vitally important work. Contact Dr. Kezele for more details via the AzOSA email portal for him. The need is immediate.
