“The Seven C’s of History” (Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, Consummation) help us remember the big events in history to understand the world we live in. The kids will have lively interaction with Dr. Mortenson as they learn vital truths related to the gospel and confirming the truth of Genesis 1-11. He focuses most of the lecture on the first four C’s. On Creation, he discusses what God made on each day of Creation week and explains that the order of creation cannot be harmonized with the order of evolution. On Corruption, he explains that the Fall of man in sin helps us to understand why there is death and suffering in the world and that evolution is contrary to the Bible’s teaching on the Fall. On Catastrophe, he explains how Noah’s Flood (not millions of years) explains the rock layers and fossils we see on the earth. On Confusion, he explains the Tower of Babel and the origin of languages and people groups and that there is only one race (Adam’s race) and so we must love all people regardless of the color of their skin or the other physical features that are different from ours). Then he quickly goes through Christ, Cross and Consummation, encouraging the children to trust in Jesus for forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Creation, Evolution & Our Cultural Moment
February 21, 2021 • Dr. Terry Mortenson
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.
