15 Questions for Evolutionists -- Question 12 Why is evolutionary ‘just-so’ story-telling tolerated? Evolutionists often use flexible story-telling to ‘explain’ observations contrary to evolutionary theory. NAS(USA) member Dr Philip Skell wrote, “Darwinian explanations for such things are often too supple: Natural selection makes humans self-centered and aggressive—except when it makes them altruistic and peaceable. Or natural selection produces virile men who eagerly spread their seed—except when it prefers men who are faithful protectors and providers. When an explanation is so supple that it can explain any behavior, it is difficult to test it experimentally, much less use it as a catalyst for scientific discovery.”8 See: ‘Just-so’ stories of sex and family life.

Fred's topic is titled "Evidences of the Bible." Fred has been engaging Bible skeptics for many years and has compiled answers to a wide range of questions and criticisms leveled against the Bible. His presentation on Bible apologetics not only provides solid answers to the skeptics, but also lays out a powerful line of evidence showing that the Bible must be divinely inspired. Topics include accuracy of prophecy, findings in archeology, scientific knowledge before its time, textual integrity, and much more.
Fred is a member of the Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship Board of Directors, Fred Williams. He has been giving lectures on creation for over 17 years to churches, schools, conferences, and other organizations.
Part 2
Fred Williams is the co-host of the Real Science Friday radio show that airs every Friday at 3:00pm MT.
Modern astronomy offers mankind a look at the cosmos never before seen. The size and beauty of astronomical bodies is a testimony to the magnificence that is our Father in heaven. This presentation aptly uses the scale of the cosmos to guide viewers to a better appreciation of the Glory of God as is revealed by the heavens. Drawing from images taken by space telescopes and spacecraft, we will tour the solar system, distant nebulae, and galaxies that testify of the creators power.

Focus Press | Join Dr. Brad Harrub at the Galapagos as he examines the life of Charles Darwin and his theory of Evolution.
Brad Harrub holds an earned B.S. degree in biology from Kentucky Wesleyan College, and an earned doctorate degree in anatomy and neurobiology from the College of Medicine at the University of Tennessee in Memphis.
Eric Hovind and Paul Taylor discuss a viewer question: “Isn’t it circular
reasoning to use the Bible to prove the Bible?” Listen as they discuss
this common fallacy and how clinging to the Word of God as your absolute
authority can transform how you share your faith with others.
Dr. Dr. Karen Bartelt of Eureka College, IL, Ph.D. in biochemistry and outspoken evolutionist, tries to show that evolution is scientific. Because so many topics left unanswered questions, we have added post-debate comments by Dr. Hovind. Many said that this debate delivered the most lively exchange they have witnessed.
Darwinian thought has not only damaged our scientific knowledge of the
world--it has also led to the moral decline in the West. Many leaders have
tried to apply evolutionary science to moral issues, and the results have
been devastating. Darwinian evolution denies that man was created in God's
image and has led to the de-valuing of human life. It has played a
significant role in the eugenics ("good genes") movement, ultimately leading
to atrocities such as the holocaust, abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia.
The influence of evolutionary thought on Planned Parenthood, Nazi Germany,
the Soviet Union, and American culture will be examined.
Eric Hovind and Paul Taylor welcome Jay Seegert of the Creation Education Center for part two of a fascinating discussion showing more DNA
evidence for special creation, and more problems for evolution.
15 Questions for Evolutionists -- Question 11
Question 11 in CMI's '15 Questions for Evolutionists' flyer focuses on
the origin of meaning and morality. Without a moral law giver how do we
get our moral laws? Evolutionists are at a loss to explain how good and
evil originated via an evolutionary process.
Ten questions will be covered including, Is there life in space? Did an asteroid kill the dinosaurs? What would change on earth if there was no moon? Will the world end in 2012? The answers to such questions strongly support the creation worldview.
DVDs of this seminar are available for purchase from the Creation Web Store.

15 Questions for Evolutionists -- Question 10 Living fossils are fossilized animals and plants that look similar to modern organisms. Random mutations would have been occurring in creatures throughout such supposed vast time periods separating the assumed ancient and modern organisms. How then would 'living fossils' remain unchanged over supposed hundreds of millions of years, if evolution has changed worms into humans in the same time frame?
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a documentary film charging Darwinists with suppressing and persecuting scholars who disagree with them in order to avoid discussing the scientific challenges which intelligent design presents to the Origins of Species aspects of the theory of evolution.[1] . The film's premise, which it goes on to prove with unassailable logic, is that scientists have been met with harsh opposition and/or received punishments from schools, universities and the scientific community merely for daring to ask inconvenient questions.[2] The documentary is co-written and hosted by Ben Stein and was released in America on Friday, April 18, 2008.
This movie follows Ben Stein as he seeks to prove that far from being a pseudo-science trying to undermine evolutionary biology, Intelligent Design is in fact a legitimate science being suppressed by a scientific establishment that is hostile to any deviation from the status quo. [3]
In the film's trailer, Stein states that there are "people out there who want to keep science in a little box where it can’t possibly touch God" and that "freedom of thought and freedom of inquiry have been expelled from publicly-funded high schools, universities and research institutions."[4] This also refers to privately funded science institutions as well.
Perhaps most infuriatingly true and telling for design opponents is the way the film links Darwin's ideas to Social Darwinism and destructive, immoral, atheistic ideologies such as Hitler's National Socialism and Marxistsocialism.[5]
One of the most controversial points made in the movie is that Hitler was influenced by Darwinism. It is at this point that Ben Stein interviews noted historian Richard Weikart.
Read Weikart's article, "Darwin and the Nazis" from The American Spectator, April 16, 2008.
