Trains, Planes, Automobiles, and more…

Dr. Kezele has returned from his successful Creation Science teaching mission trip in the Ukraine and Moldova. He travelled over 16,300 miles by plane, train, car, bus, ferry, canoe and foot. He presented to 810 people at two medical schools, four technical universities, three churches, two Bible Colleges and a Crisis Pregnancy Center. He was able to spend time in deep discussion with students eager to have their in depth questions answered.

Thanks to all of you who were praying and who gave financial support. The Lord truly opened doors and people opened their minds. Plans are already underway to go back and do multi-day seminars and a youth camp.

Arizona Events for July 2018

Latest Findings in the Coconino Formation:
2 Presentations

If you ever read secular science articles on the Coconino Formation, you will read that sand was blown in from north of Arizona, building up a layer that reaches 1000 feet in thickness near Pine, AZ. In Sedona, AZ the Coconino Formation is about 600 feet. Evidence for the Aeolian (wind) deposition presented by naturalists has been found to be false. Guy will show why the naturalists’ explanation is false and outline several lines of evidence that show the Coconino was deposited in water in a few hours to days during Noah’s Flood.

SPEAKER: Guy Forsythe
BIO: Guy Forsythe was a high school technology teacher in Ohio from 1973 to 2003. Upon retirement from teaching, Guy and his wife, Cindy, asked God how they could be used of Him. God told them to move to Sedona, AZ. In August of 2004, Guy and Cindy started a creation science newsletter, Creation News Update. Every three months they mail newsletters to the 11,000 homes in Sedona. Guy also does speaking engagements on creation science. In 2010, Guy discovered geology features in the Coconino Formation in Sedona, resulting in Guy becoming part of a research team that has published several papers on the Coconino Formation.

Vestigial Organs
July 15 @ 9:30 am – 10:30 am
Radisson Road Baptist Church, 13627 Radisson Rd NE

This presentation focuses on organs and structures in the human body that were labeled as useless leftovers of evolution, but have subsequently been shown to have definite functions for which they were designed. Have fun looking at drawings of tonsils, the appendix, the plantaris muscle, goose pimples the male brain and twelve other examples.

Genetics in Genesis

Radisson Road Baptist Church, 13627 Radisson Rd NE
Ham Lake, MN

Where Did I Come From? Deals with X and Y chromosomes of Adam, Eve, and Christ, and gives a comparison of the human and chimp genomes, debunking evolutionists claims of 98% similarity. Why Am I still here? Why are we not beamed up directly into heaven when we come to faith in Christ as our Savior? Where Am I going? Depends upon a decision we do or do not make. Why are we still here as the human race, not already extinct? Deals with the consequences of genetic degradation through mutations, on a personal level as well as for the future of the human race. The presentation concludes with the question: What does the future hold for each individual spiritually?

Many of the contributing factors that stimulate these changes are also given, demonstrating the irreducible complexity of the mammalian system of giving birth. A medical case history is presented with a surprise ending, and the relevance of all of this to Genesis is demonstrated.
