Creation, Evolution & Our Cultural Moment

Many Christians today think that the question of origins (and especially the age of the earth) is an unimportant side issue, which can distract us from focusing on Christ and the Gospel and over which we can just “agree to disagree.” But is this correct thinking? Dr. Mortenson presents some of the Biblical, theological and scientific reasons for believing that this issue is vitally important for every Christian, because what ultimately is at stake is the authority of Scripture and the Gospel.

Origin of Species: Was Darwin Right?

February 21, 2021 • Dr. Terry Mortenson

Dr. Mortenson presents some of the overwhelming scientific evidence from biology and paleontology that Darwin’s theory is false. He shows that evolutionists have used misleading arguments to convince us that the fossils, natural selection and mutations prove evolution. In fact, the evidence fits very well with the biblical account of God supernaturally creating distinct “kinds” of plants and animals (with genetic information for variation within each kind but not the ability to change into different kinds). The relevance of this issue to our everyday life is explained at the end.

Ape-men, Adam & the Gospel

February 21, 2021 • Dr. Terry Mortenson

Evolutionists work hard to convince us that man evolved from ape-like creatures, and an increasing number of theologians and other Christian leaders believe this. Consequently, some of those Christian leaders are also teaching the church that there never was a literal Adam and a literal Fall but that this does not affect the truth of the gospel. Using both scientific evidence and the Bible, Dr. Mortenson exposes the lie of human evolution and the disastrous consequences with respect to racism, morality and the gospel, as a result of denying the literal truth of Genesis.

Million of Years: The Idea's of Unscientific Origin & Catastrophic Consequences

February 22, 2021 • Dr. Terry Mortenson

To really understand what is wrong with belief in millions of years, we need to go back to the early 19th century and study the origin of this idea. This unique and interesting lecture, based on Dr. Mortenson’s PhD research, will clearly show that the idea was not the result of just letting the rocks and fossils “speak for themselves” but rather comes from anti-Biblical worldviews (or philosophical assumptions) being imposed on the geological evidence. The talk explains the key men who helped develop the idea of millions of years, the various ways that Christians responded, and the subsequent catastrophic consequences of the church’s compromise with millions of years.
