BIll Morgan gave a presentation titled, "DEFENDING NOAH'S ARK & THE GLOBAL FLOOD" About our speaker: Bill Morgan has recently retired after serving the U.S. Navy for more than 30 years as a mechanical design engineer. He also leads the Creation Science Fellowship of Calvary Chapel WestGrove, in Garden Grove, California. Before founding the Creation Science Fellowship of Calvary Chapel WestGrove, Bill served as vice-president of the former Creation Science Association of Orange County for nearly a decade and a half. He has developed a comic book format which communicates Creation vs Evolution issues that are easily understood by junior high and high school students. Bill frequently stands on public sidewalks outside public schools, passing out comic books to eager students. Bill has publicly debated nineteen (at last count) Evolutionists, and has delivered more than 1,000 talks on Creation versus Evolution to youth groups, university classrooms, and adult groups across California and in other states. If you know an atheist or evolutionist willing to debate, please call Bill Morgan at 714 898 8331; or if you know someone struggling with evolution, likewise please call Bill.

We watched the 59-minute DVD by Evidences Press, "DNA Battles," followed, after a short break, by 19 minutes of bonus features. From the DVD Jacket: The June, 2011 cover article in Christianity Today (CT) lays out several postions for the historicity of Adam and Eve. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, started the Biologos Foundations. Biologos is leading the charge for the position that Adam and Eve, if they existed at all, were part of a collective of some 10,000 hominids. The CT article states, "A Biologos paper by Venema and Falk declares it more flatly: The human population, they say, 'was definitely never as small as two . . . Our species diverged as a population. The data are absolutely clear on that.'" But are the data as clear as they state? What has recent research revealed about mitochondrial DNA? Does recent research on nuclear DNA support evolutionary predictions? We heard from 7 scientists and two theologians who cite strong scriptural and DNA evidence that point to humanity's two ancestral parents, who quite were RECENT, only about 6,000 years ago. APRIL 6, 2019We watched two DVDs,
MILLIONS OF YEARS "This highly enlightening video introduces the men and the theories that helped popularize the idea of millions of years of earth history. Using high-quality illustrations, Dr. Terry Mortenson races through the last century and a half to reveal that what one believes about the age of the earth is a worldview conflict of foundational importance! Viewers will understand that the issue is not science vs. religion but anti-Christian ideas vs. the clear teaching of Scripture." About our video speaker: Dr. Terry Mortenson earned a PhD in the history of geology from Coventry University in England. His thesis focused on the "scriptural geologists," a group of men in the early nineteenth century who fought the rise of old-earth geological theories. A former missionary (mostly in Eastern Europe), Dr. Mortenson has researched and spoken on creation and evolution for many years. He is now a speaker, writer, and researcher with Answers in Genesis-USA. PROFESSOR AND THE PROPHETS DId the Bible prophets speak by divine authority or from imagination? What chance do human prediction have of coming true and how do fulfilled Bible prophesies compare? In "Professor and the Prophets," Dr. Irwin Moon of the Moody Institute of Science interviews Professor Peter W. Stoner, who applies the principles of mathematical probability to prophecies concerning Babylon, Jerusalem, Tyre, and Petra and uncovers some amazing facts concerning the authorship of the Bible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zQXgJ-dXM4 This is one of many YouTube videos featuring Dr. James Tour. INTRODUCING DR. JAMES TOUR via YouTube videos James M. Tour, B.S. (Chemistry), Ph.D. (Synthetic Organic and Organometallic Chemistry), is an outspoken Messianic Jew, who, arguing strictly from science, destroys naturalistic origin-of-life fables. About our video speaker: After spending 11 years on the faculty of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina, he joined the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice University in 1999 where he is presently the T. T. and W. F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Computer Science, and Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering. Tour’s scientific research areas include nanoelectronics, graphene electronics, silicon oxide electronics, carbon nanovectors for medical applications, green carbon research for enhanced oil recovery and environmentally friendly oil and gas extraction, graphene photovoltaics, carbon supercapacitors, lithium ion batteries, CO2 capture, water splitting to H2 and O2, water purification, carbon nanotube and graphene synthetic modifications, graphene oxide, carbon composites, hydrogen storage on nanoengineered carbon scaffolds, and synthesis of single-molecule nanomachines which includes molecular motors and nanocars. He has also developed strategies for retarding chemical terrorist attacks. For pre-college education, Tour developed the NanoKids concept for K-12 education in nanoscale science, and also Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero science packages for elementary and middle school education: SciRave(www.scirave.org) which is currently used by over 450 school districts and 40,000 teachers with over 1 million student downloads.Tour has over 650 research publications and over 120 patents. He was inducted into the National Academy of Inventors in 2015. Tour was named among “The 50 Most Influential Scientists in the World Today” by TheBestSchools.org in 2014; listed in “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” by Thomson Reuters ScienceWatch.com in 2014; and recipient of the Trotter Prize in “Information, Complexity and Inference” in 2014; and was the Lady Davis Visiting Professor, Hebrew University, June, 2014. Tour was named “Scientist of the Year” by R&D Magazine, 2013. Tour was ranked one of the Top 10 chemists in the world over the past decade. He won the Feynman Prize in Experimental Nanotechnology in 2008, the NASA Space Act Award in 2008 for his development of carbon nanotube reinforced elastomers and the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical Society for his achievements in organic chemistry in 2007. Tour was the recipient of the George R. Brown Award for Superior Teaching in 2007.
