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).
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!

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, 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 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.

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.
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,
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 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:
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.
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:
Live Oak FBC is located at 11560 Toepperwein Road, Live Oak, TX 78233

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