Next regular meeting: 
Tuesday - March 9, 2010 at 7 pm

Tuesday, March 9, 2010, at 7 pm

Lanny and Marilyn Johnson are former evolutionists trained in the sciences. Creation teaching was instrumental in bringing them to a settled assurance that all of God's Word can be trusted. In 1993, God led them to join Alpha Omega Institute and establish the Children's Ministry to fortify children with the truth of the Bible and to help them avoid the pitfalls of evolution. They will join us in March and bring a presentation on "The Hand of God - Fibonacci Numbers and the Divine Proportion." They will also be speaking at Communion Church on March 7th and 8th, at Castle Hills Baptist on March 10-12, and at Jesus is Lord Church on Tuesday, 16 March 2010 from 7-9pm (contact Ken Small at (210) 661 - 9900 for more information on this event).


A special program for parents and children will be presented at Live Oak First Baptist on March 6th. The schedule for Saturday, March 6th is:

4:30 pm - Family Presentation Dinosaurs and the Bible - this will include the explanation of the 7 days of Creation, a puppet show and a hands-on-activity (child care for 2 and younger provided this session)

6 pm to 10 pm - Our regular "Parents Night Out" program with a Children's Program Design in Animals - this will include a puppet show, hands-on-activity and a DVD for your child left with us while you go out for the evening!
Live Oak FBC is located at 11560 Toepperwein Road, Live Oak, TX 78233 For more information call 656-8200 or 599-7240.

Creation Teaching Every Wednesday Evening!

"The Case for Creation - Defending Creation" is held on Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM at Castle Hills First Baptist Church in room Love 301. The 8 session class started on January 13th, but we hope to repeat it and those attending just some of the classes will come away with new information about how science affirms the Bible and a new perspective on witnessing. In this class, we will examine the Creation theory and how the Universe could only have come into being through the design, purpose, and deliberate acts of a supernatural Creator---God! The class is taught by SABBSA board member Dr. Carl Williams and Robert Barnett.

Starting Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 5:30 pm at Live Oak First Baptist

A complete Creation Seminar will be held over a 3-month period. Each session will be 50 minutes long. A tentative schedule of the seminar topics is listed below:

Sunday, March 21 - Introduction to Creation Theories - this presentation covers the full continuum of theories between evolution and creation. It includes capsules on the compromise theories of scientific creationism, gap theory, day/age theory, intelligent design, progressive creationism, and theistic evolution. It sets the stage for all further presentations.

Sunday, March 28 - Darwin and Radiometric Dating presents background on Darwin'ss life and insights into the development of his theory. It then explains the several dating methods used by scientists to date rocks and fossils. Two products of this presentation are to understand where evolution theory came from, and how radiometric dating has easy to see weaknesses which call all dates derived from them into question.

Sunday, April 11 - Underpinnings: Fossils, Physics, and Genetics presents the fallacy of the geologic column. It explores how fossils are made and how both of these evidences support creationism. It is shown that creationism conforms to both of the laws of thermodynamics, while evolution violates them! We see multiple evidences of this planet Earth being a very specially designed place made just for us. Finally, we see evidence in genetics for the fixity of the kinds as described in Genesis chapters 1 and 2.

Sunday, April 18 - What If God Wrote the Bible? Dont let this provocative title scare you. The focus of this presentation is to show that God left his fingerprint on His word and His world. If God did write the Bible, He would have left four types of evidences: Historical; Writing History in Advance; Cohesiveness (how the whole bible hangs together due to one original author); and Prescience (the bible is not a book of science, but there are places where God showed his full understanding of science thousands of years ahead of man). If you can see just one of our presentations this is the one!

Sunday, April 25 - Young Earth Evidences - This striking presentation shows that there is far more scientific evidence for a relatively young Earth than for an exceedingly old one. These evidences fit well into the creation theory and coincide with a biblical timescale, but they are devastating to evolution which requires massive amounts of time.

Sunday, May 2 - Biology shows how the field of biology tears down evolutionary theory. It first presents what has been done in the field including synthesizing DNA and cloning and shows how creation has no problem with these accomplishments. We then present examples of God's design in nature ranging from the intricacies of the human eye, to the sea slug, the bombardier beetle, and symbiotic relationships between organisms. We also explore how evolution's recapitulation theory has been disproved by evolutionists, but it is still being used in some places to substantiate abortion.

Sunday, May 16 - Biology and Missing Links We begin by showing more evidences of animals which defy evolution and declare God's design in nature. We then show how all of the supposed missing links between man and apes have been exposed as not being transitional forms through years of analysis. Finally we see how the horse series, whale evolution and peppered moths have been disproved as evidence for evolution.

Sunday, May 23 - Genetic Entropy & the Mystery of the Genome This presentation covers the the work of former Cornell University genetics professor, Dr. John Sanford. It reveals the complexity of how information is coded in the genome, and how this shows it could not have occurred by chance. He further reveals how his study of genetics have led him to the conclusion that evolution is impossible at the genetic level and how natural selection is a woefully inadequate process for allowing evolution to occur.

Sunday, May 30 - God and Dinosaurs The title says it all. We will see accounts from the Bible of encounters of man with the Brachiosaurus and the Plesiosaur. We will see how Noah could have taken dinosaurs onto the Ark. We will show evidence from South America which show man lived with dinosaurs very recently. All of this evidence is shown to fit within the creation account from the Bible.

Sunday, June 6 - Creation and the Courts traces the history of how we came from a country which in 1776 was based on faith in God, to one in 2010 where faith in God is being sterilized from society. It details the court cases which led us from a nation where in 1925 public schools could only teach creation, to 1995 where public schools could only teach evolution. In this session we will examine the implications of continued indoctrination in evolutionary thought on our society and our youth.

Coming in April

Dr. Daniel Harris will Present a power point presentation entitled "The Wisdom of the Cell" at our monthly SABBSA meeting in April. Join us on April 13th, 2010 for this very timely presenation.

Mark your Calendars for May

Two creation opportunities are coming the second week in May to take note of. First, Frank Mayo, leader of the Greater Houston Creation Association will be here on Tuesday, May 11th to speak at our monthly SABBSA meeting on "Creation Cosmology." Also, Dave and Mary Jo Nutting with AOI will be down here for FEAST's annual book fair. They will be speaking on May 14th and 15th.

Monday, February 22, 2010

We and our partners at FEAST have put together an exciting set of presentations for the coming year. We started off on Monday, September 28 with a Creation Science Magic Show performed by SABBSA founder Ernie Hernandez. Ernie showed a fantastic crowd of 85 children, parents and youth the probability of structure forming all by itself with the application of random energy. He used Stanley Miller's 1953 experiment as a guide and demonstrates similar steps with our own experiment using colored blocks. It demonstrated probability, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, knowledge of Dr. Miller's experiment and the real results. We followed with the kick off to a year-long presentation of the Answers in Genesis' (AIG) Demolishing Strongholds presentations with SABBSA board member Dr. Carl Williams moderating. Dr. Williams is a practicing medical doctor and he and his wife Cindy have gone through training with AIG in the presentation of this curriculum. Cindy is teaming with him to provide creation experiences for younger children while Carl presents to youth and parents.

Tuesday, February 9, 2010, at 7 pm

In February we saw Focus on the Family's "TrueU" presentation of the "The Toughest Test in College." This is the first the "TrueU" DVD series. It explores why students are failing to keep their faith on campus. It explores the real story of campus life - from dorm rooms to classrooms. It showed revealing interviews with students shocked by their first semester, and we caught a sneak peek at the life changing solution from the creators of the Focus on the Family's "The Truth Project."

Dr. Del Tackett says, "We believe this project has the ability to equip and inspire students to not only survive the college years, but thrive as influential world-changers, no matter where God leads them after graduation! We heartily recommend this series to all church and homeschool youth programs.


Tuesday, January 12, 2010, at 7 pm

In January, we saw "Darwin's Dilemma: The Cambrian Explosion." This documentary revealed the huge scientific problems with Darwin's theory as it relates to the Cambrian Explosion. This is not a religious film, but atheists hate it because the scientific evidence is deeply disturbing to their belief system. The absence of transitional forms between the animal body plans implies design rather than a gradual, unguided cobbling together of adaptations.

The movie shows how the Precambrian layer contains single-celled creatures but no obvious ancestors of the Cambrian Phyla. By looking at the Burgess Shale of BC and the Chengjiang fossils of China the film shows how soft-bodied and microscopic creatures are exquisitely well preserved in the rocks but no transitional forms connect the animal phyla. Thus, the old Darwinist excuse that the transitionals really did exist but were too small and soft-bodied to be preserved is untenable(source - one review on Amazon). In spite of this video's prsupposition of old Earth chronology, the science and the logic employed in the film is impeccable. We heartily recommend this film.


Tuesday, December 8, 2009, at 7 pm

In December, we saw "The Case for a Creator." Our thanks to the Discovery Institute for providing this video to us! This video is a classic work in the field of apologetics. Award winning journalist Lee Stroebel interviews scientitsts and scholars for the answer to the question,
"Does contemporary scientitfic evidence point toward or away from a Creator?"
This film is based on Stroebel's best selling novel, which takes you along on his journey from being a skeptic, to having a profound faith in the God who designed every galaxy and every living cell! We enjoyed the exceptional ID arguments presented in this well done video. We did however, have problems with the old Earth assumptions and some of the astronomical conclusions of the film.


Tuesday, November 10, 2009, at 7 pm

In November, we viewed the video "Arguments Creationists Should Not Use" with Dr. Jonathan Sarfati, (49 Minutes). In this candid presentation before an international conference of nearly 600 creationist speakers and writers, scientist Dr. Jonathan Sarfati revealed the out-of-date, faulty, and downright "flakey evidences" that reputable creationists must avoid. Bottom line: hold "facts" loosely and instead focus intensely on God's written Word as the guide to evidence interpretations! This video not only updates us on arguments which have been debunked by more recent scientific research and discoveries, but it also reveals several "urban myth" stories which have floated around creationism for years and which have no basis in fact!


We will bring the "Already Gone" presentation to You!

We strongly recommend the video "Already Gone: Why your kids will quit church and what you can do to stop it."

Statistics reveal a huge disconnect taking place between our children and their church experience. Nationwide polls and denominational reports are showing that the next generation is calling it quits on the traditional church. And it's not just happening on the nominal fringe; it's happening at the core of the faith. In the first scientific study of its kind, the "Beemer Report" revealed startling facts discovered through 20,000 phone calls and detailed surveys of a thousand 20-29 year olds, who used to attend evangelical churches on a regular basis, but have since left it behind.

The results are shocking:
Those who faithfully attend Sunday School are more likely to leave the church than those who don't;
Those who regularly attend Sunday School are more likely to believe that the Bible is less true;
Those who regularly attend Sunday School are actually more likely to defend that abortion and gay marriage should be legal; and
Those who regularly attend Sunday School are actually more likely to defend premarital sex.

In this powerful video, popular author Ken Ham and consumer behavior research/analyst C. Britt Beemer combine to reveal trends that must be dealt with now . . . before we lose another generation! The trends are frightening, but Already Gone showed how to win back our families, our churches, and our world!

We have already had one group who have requested an encore viewing of this material for their organization. If you or your organization would also like to see this video or procure the book, please contact us.
