February 2014 – Major Reminder

High Priority – Please Attend – March 1

Why attend the annual AzOSA meeting?  Because members have ideas, criticisms, comments, praise, and love for God and His revelation through words and creation. Believe me, your humble newsletter writer, these meetings are never boring. Attending members help AzOSA set priorities and press forward in its educational ministry. Lives are changed, we know it from feedback we get. Members at the meeting add vital input to make AzOSA even more effective. Invest the hour or two, enjoy a snack and some fellowship, and add your energy to the meeting!

 Maricopa County Events  

February 17 – 7:00 PM – Phoenix: Soft Tissues in Dinosaur Bone. Mark Armitage, electron microscope expert, brings his microscopes and reveals extraordinary scientific evidence of Young Earth drawn from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. Check out the Triceratops horn, and see the stretchy taffy-like stuff found in discoveries supposedly millions of years old. A quick intro to the marvelous osteocytes shows how bone-building cells leave clues to bones’ origins. Nobody knows and presents these amazing facts better than Mark!

Special Feature:  “From Hero to Heretic in One Microscopic Step,” the obvious case of religious discrimination at Cal State Northridge against Mark. 

February 18 – 7:00 PM – Tempe: Gimme That Old Time (Evolution) Religion. Christian school educators are often stumped about why their students hold on to some evolutionary principles in spite of the creation model that they teach in Christian school classes.  Additionally, Christian school students cannot even identify why they hold to such principles.  In this clear, direct presentation  Mark Armitage reveals the insidious ways that advertising and marketing strategies often use fundamental evolutionary concepts to sell their products.  Teachers, clergy, parents, and grandparents can learn teaching strategies to help students identify the lack of logic behind an evolutionary worldview. It is not difficult, once you see how. Practical tips and answers for Christians – now!

February 19 – 7:00 PM – Arizona Christian University: Soft Tissues in Dinosaur Bone. Mark Armitage, electron microscope expert, brings his microscopes and reveals extraordinary scientific evidence of Young Earth drawn from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. Check out the Triceratops horn, and see the stretchy taffy-like stuff found in discoveries supposedly millions of years old. A quick intro to the marvelous osteocytes shows how bone-building cells leave clues to bones’ origins. Nobody knows and presents these amazing facts better than Mark!

Special Feature:  “From Hero to Heretic in One Microscopic Step,” the obvious case of religious discrimination at Cal State Northridge against Mark. 

February 26 – 6:30 PM – Phoenix (Palmcroft Baptist Education Bldg – Rm 206): You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!  Childbirth is dramatic, bodywrenching and amazing for the mother – but there is more. In mere seconds, the baby must self-convert from life inside the womb to life in the outside world. Most people are completely unaware of those changes and how they occur. Dr. Kezele, ACU biology professor, presents the mindblowing facts about the physical transformation of the baby’s heart and circulatory system. If you have a baby, or have been a baby, then these facts will change you.

Your text would be In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood (9th ed. 2014). Your professor would be the book’s author, Walter Brown, Ph.D., who earned his doctorate in mechanical engineering from MIT and is a National Science Foundation Fellow. Take the plunge and get huge results.  To see the full text of the previous (8th) edition of In the Beginning, visit the website at http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ . Amazing work, isn’t it?
