 Literally five years and a day after presenting an earlier version, David Dana-Bashan returned to the Creation Science Fellowship of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa to deliver an improved and updated, "16 Nearly Impossible Issues for Evolutionists to Answer." David argues, ". . . Any solutions that evolutionists propose to such issues, inevitably and invariably violate basic, well-known laws of mathematics, physics, and chemistry."
About our speaker: Mr. Dana-Bashian has a B.S. in Mathematics, an M.S. in Mathematics, and a B.S. in Chemistry (A.C.S. Certified), all from Purdue University. He is a member of the honorary chemistry fraternity Phi Lambda Upsilon, and has a lifetime of experience in the hard sciences. David is also one of the five dozen persons in the world who have been identified as possessing Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory. Give him the date of any day in history, and he can tell you on what day of the week it occurred and relate that day to events of the time. For dates in his own life time, he can tell you headline news items of that day, week, and month, and what songs were popular on the radio.

 Movie Night
We watched Lessons 3 & 4 of Bruce Malone's "THE ROCKS CRY OUT" Lesson 3: Science Testifies to Creation Lesson 4: Dragons and Dinosaurs  Veterinarian Dr. Gay Zambrano and husband, Dan Zambrano gave a presentation titled, "BIRDS FROM REPTILES...REALLY? - A VETERINARY MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE ON CREATED 'KINDS' VS EVOLUTION OF SPECIES."
About our speakers: Dr. Gay Zambrona is a 1991 graduate of the Ohio State University School of Veterinary Medicine. She fulfilled an externship at the London Zoo. Practicing full-time small animal and exotics medicine in the Long Beach/West Orange County area since 1991. Part-time clinical and consulting positions in laboratory animal medicine for 15 years. Husband Dan Zambrano has a B.S. in Marine Biology from Cal State Long Beach. He is a Licensed Registered Veterinary Technician. He has worked at Cabrillo Aquarium, the Los Angeles Harbor Dept., California State Fish & Game Dept., and the L.A. Zoo before partnering in the mobile veterinary practice with his wife. Both Dan and Gay are Ordained Pastors in the Free Methodist Church. They love teaching and preaching the Word of God to people of ALL AGES. They have worked with students from 4th & 5 th graders, through High School, College, and beyond! THE BATTLEFIELD HAS CHANGED:  Dan Biddle, Ph.D. (Industrial Organizational Psychology), will share the results of a survey he conducted, asking hundreds of people between the ages of 14 and 24, what claims they find most convincing that evolution must be true. Then, he will share his new Genesis Apologetics App, available for FREE download. The app addresses evolutionary claims with hard-hitting, winsome videos that dismantle Evolution's most convincing arguments! About our speaker: Daniel A. Biddle, Ph.D. is President of Genesis Apologetics, Inc. a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to equipping youth pastors, parents, and students with Biblical answers for evolutionary teaching in public schools. Daniel has trained thousands of students in Biblical creation and evolution and is the author of several Creation-related publications. Daniel also serves as the Vice-Chair of the International Association for Creation (IAC). Daniel’s professional background includes training as a behavioral scientist (Ph.D. Industrial-Organizational Psychology) and 20 years’ experience in expert witness consulting/testimony in state/federal cases involving statistical research methods and psychometrics. Daniel maintains an executive role in two HR consulting and test development firms. While Daniel has been a Christian since age 11, his position on the specific chronology of Genesis remained “undeclared” until 2011 when the evidence surrounding the fossil record (dinosaurs in particular), flood geology, and biblical exegesis led him to the historical position on the Genesis account.

AMBER AND HONEY Dr. Joseph Kezele, M.D., gave a presentation titled, "AMBER AND HONEY". About our speaker: Joseph Kezele studied the sciences and music at the University of Arizona, while earning his B.A. in Russian in 1971, and his M.D. in 1975. He then completed a Pediatric Residency and practiced Emergency Medicine for 25 years in the Phoenix area, and was a diplomate of the American Board of Emergency Medicine and fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. He is now retired from the practice of medicine, serves as President of the Arizona Origin Science Association, is Adjunct Professor at Arizona Christian University in Phoenix, teaching Human Genetics, Cell and Molecular Biology, Pathophysiology, Organic Chemistry and Creation Science Apologetics. Dr, Kezele has also been named a Logos Research Associate. He serves as Chairman of Deacons and teaches Creation Science Evangelism at Black Mountain Baptist Church in Cave Creek, Arizona. He has participated in over 20 foreign mission trips, teaching medicine, standard evangelism and creation science evangelism in India, Zambia, Mexico, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Armenia. Dr. Kezele is one of the principle presenters in the Institute for Creation Research’s 4 DVD series Made in His Image. This past May, he returned to the Ukraine for three intense weeks of teaching Creation Science Apologetics and Evangelism as part of the activities prompted by the proclamation of the President of the Ukraine recognizing the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's sparking the Reformation in Germany. The Human Genome: ENCODED by Design Fazale "Fuz" Rana. Ph.D. (Chemistry) gave a presentation titled, "The Human Genome: ENCODED by Design."
Many people think that the most compelling evidence for human evolution is the shared junk DNA sequences found in corresponding regions of the genomes of humans and the Great Apes. Why would a Creator introduce identical nonfunctional DNA sequences in these genomes? On the other hand, if these genomes represent the outworking of an evolutionary history, then the shared features evince common descent. But what if these junk DNA sequences are actually functional? They could be understood as evidence for common design. Remarkably over the course of the last decade, biologists have come to learn that virtually every class of junk DNA has function, culminating with the publication of the Phase 2 results of the ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) project in 2011. These results indicated that minimally 80 percent of the human genome consists of functional elements. Subsequent work indicates that this percentage will only increase. The ENCODE project has radically changed the way we view the human genome. Instead of representing a collage of evolutionary vestiges, it appears to be an elegantly designed system. Attendees learned how ENCODE has turned one of the greatest challenges to the Christian faith into one of the most compelling reasons to believe. About our speaker: Dr. Rana is vice president of research and apologetics at Reasons to Believe. Fuz earned a BS in chemistry at West Virginia State University and a PhD in chemistry with an emphasis in biochemistry at Ohio University. He pursued postdoctoral studies in the biophysics of cell membranes at the Universities of Virginia and Georgia, has coauthored numerous papers for peer-reviewed journals, and holds two patents. Fuz converted to Christianity during graduate school. Though he initially embraced the evolutionary paradigm, Fuz eventually drew the conclusion that only a Creator’s involvement could explain the elegance of biochemical systems. Today, Fuz writes and speaks extensively about evidence for creation emerging from biochemistry, genetics, human origins, and synthetic biology. He is the author of multiple books, including Dinosaur Blood and the Age of the Earth and The Cell’s Design. 'BIOMIMETICS' - MEANS GOD INVENTED IT  Thomas Kindell, M.A. (Biblical Studies), D.Ph.Th., gave a presentation titled, "'BIOMIMETICS' - MEANS GOD INVENTED IT FIRST."
About our speaker: Dr. Thomas Kindell was once an ardent believer in the “fact” of evolution. However, through his exposure to the scientific case for creation, he became a zealous creationist. He received advanced training in scientific creationism through the Graduate School of the Institute for Creation Research, then in Santee, California. He has been privileged to study under several of the world's most prominent creationist scientists. He also has studied Christian Apologetics and Biblical-Scientific Creationism at California Graduate School of Theology where he received his M.A. in Biblical Studies. He holds a Doctorate in Philosophy of Theology (major in philosophy of Biblical apologetics.)Dr. Kindell is the founder and president of Reasons for Faith Ministries, Inc., a non-profit ministry dedicated to equipping Christian believers to “give every man an answer” for their Biblical faith. For over 30 years he has engaged in a traveling teaching ministry lecturing on Biblical apologetics and the scientific case for creation. He is an ordained Calvary Chapel pastor devoted to full-time teaching of Creation-Science apologetics. Dr. Kindell has successfully debated the scientific case for creation against notable evolutionists on high school and college campuses, radio, and television. He is a frequent guest on the radio series “Science, Scripture & Salvation” which is produced by the Institute for Creation Research. He is the author of the acclaimed book, “Evolution on Trial.” He is a member of the Oregon Design Science Association and is a lifetime sustaining member of the Creation Research Society. Dr. Kindell’s creation‑science seminar has been repeatedly acclaimed as one of the very best in the nation and was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Dr. Duane T. Gish, Senior Vice‑President Emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research. Dr. Kindell is available full-time on a free will offering basis for speaking engagements throughout the United States and abroad.Program to be determined.
