During Noah’s Flood there was at least one miracle involved with basement rock, possibly two. Together, those miracles took a few seconds or minutes to trigger the events that followed. Those following events followed the laws of physics. We will look at known physics and geological processes to see how basement rock affirms the historical accuracy of the Bible, particularly Noah’s Flood.

For nearly 15 years the evolutionist community has been scrambling to explain how biological material, such as proteins, has survived in dinosaur fossils. There is no biochemical evidence to suggest that any type of biomaterial could survive for even just a few million years; far short of the 68+ million-year-age age assigned to these fossils. Evolutionist’s explanations reveal a desperation within the evolution community to account for this so-called “ancient” material. In contrast, a biblical creation model readily explains why the tissue was preserved and why we expect to continue to find tissue in a variety of fossils.

Combining God’s living Word with God’s living Creation, Steve will start his presentation with several live animals, focusing on both their incredible design and the lessons they teach us about God and his Word. These themes look at how a Madagascar Hissing cockroach can teach us about bearing a burden, based on real life technology being used by scientists. About an African Bullfrog, that lies dormant for ten months, only to come to life once again and teach us what it means to be devoted. Can a lizard have no legs and still teach us about change? Or a Hornbill bird exhort us to watch over others? And what can a watching a Tarantula shed teach us about Salvation? After these animals and the themes that accompany them are answered, this wildly interactive presentation ends with a summary of how important it is to see how God’s creation & Genesis, ultimately points us to our Creator Jesus, his gospel and the rest of Scripture.
