Seminars (Auditorium Style)

General Science
Creation or Evolution; A Look at Science (4-6 hours) Youth and Adult
This extended program uses material from some of the other programs to give a comprehensive but superficial look at the issue of origins. After an introduction to the two-model approach to origins Charlie will evaluate all the major sciences in light of both the creation and evolution each models. At the end of this program the audience will understand the scientific evidence for creation and the 'impossibility' of evolution. Some of the questions addressed will be; how old is the earth? Can life arise from dead chemicals? What is DNA?... A lively question and answer session is often part of this program. Many visual aids are used.

Biology
Creation or Evolution; Two Science Models (1-3 Hours) Youth and Adult
After an introduction to the two-model approach to origins Charlie will discuss the living plants and animals on the earth. The absurdity of dead chemicals changing into a live cell will be demonstrated. Where did the world and all the diverse living things in it come from is a question that can be answered in two ways. Either God created all things or it all sprang from nothing by natural processes. Charlie will present both the creation and evolution models of origins and evaluate current knowledge in various sciences in light of each model. This two-model approach will demonstrate the viability of creation and the lack of evidence for evolution.

Paleontology
Dinosaurs, Created by God (1-3 Hours) Grade 1 and up.
Our fascination with dinosaurs leads us to questions like; when did they live? Why are they extinct? Why were they so big? Charlie will answer these questions and many more with this exciting presentation using many models and fossils to illustrate these creatures. This program can be adapted for audiences ranging from adults to children as young as 5 years old.

The Implications of Evolution (1-3 Hours) Youth and Adult
After an introduction to the two-model approach to origins Charlie will discuss the implications of believing in creation or evolution and its effect on society. The impact of removing the Bible from US public education and the devastating effect of evolution on the world since Charles Darwin (1859) published his Origin of Species are key issues in understanding the implications of evolution.

Volcanoes; Evidence for Creation (1-3 Hours) Youth and Adult
Volcanoes are active continuously in the world. They can tell us much about the processes that formed and continue to form our earth. Charlie will discuss basic information about volcanic processes including the continuing eruption that is forming the Hawaiian Islands and the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Exciting research done by Dr. Steve Austin of the Institute for Creation Research at Mt. St. Helens has revealed compelling evidence for a young earth and the rapid catastrophic events that followed Noah's flood.

Geology
The Rocks Say: "Creation" (1-3 Hours) Youth and Adult
After an introduction to the two-model approach to origins Charlie will discuss geology and what it tells us about the origin of life. The geologic column, fossils, erosion and other geologic processes contribute to our knowledge of the earth. In addition to the billions of fossils found, men have claimed to find missing links showing man's evolution from apes. These 'missing links' are all still missing. The more fossils we find the more confused evolution becomes. Many models and fossils can be used in this program.

Earth: How Old Are You? (1-3 Hours) Youth and Adult
The age of the earth is one of the issues that separate the creation and evolution models. Evolutionists believe an Earth age of 4 to 6 billion years, while creationists maintain the earth is only thousands of years old. After a brief review of both models, Charlie will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the methods used to date the earth showing that most of the evidence points to a young Earth and Universe.

Noah's Flood and Other Bible History. (1-3 Hours) Youth and Adult
The historic account in the Bible of Noah's flood is one of the world's most enduring and persistent stories. Charlie will show the compelling evidence for a world wide, catastrophic flood that changed the face of the planet. In addition, he can use several examples of biblical prophecy and later historic events to show the reliability of the Bible's historical record.

Cosmology
In The Beginning: God or a Big Bang. (1-3 Hours) Youth and Adult
After an introduction to the two-model approach to origins Charlie will discuss the origin of the universe. Creationists have long had difficulty dealing with its apparent old age (starlight, red shift, and background radiation). A new model using current scientific understanding that shows the earth was created in six 24-hour days yet explains these "problems" has been developed by Dr. Russell Humphreys. After hearing this model believers in the Bible can confidently say; "God did it in six 24 hour days".
