Debate: Are we clueless about the origin of life? Join us for an exciting debate between Dr. James Tour and Dave Farina on this topic.
Dr. James Tour, a world-renowned scientist and professor of chemistry at Rice University, arguing that current origin of life research demonstrates huge unsolved problems and hype in the field. Dave Farina, a prominent atheist and YouTuber, arguing for the theory of abiogenesis, the idea that life arose from non-living matter through natural processes. tourvsfarina.com
This in-person event occurred and was streamed live on Friday, May 19, 2023 in Keck Hall 100 at Rice University.

If you want to purchase a copy of the film, or if you'd like to buy our entire library of creation 15+ hours of videos, books and other resources, visit the "Is Genesis History?" website! You can do so by clicking here: https://bit.ly/2A7Pd2Z.
"Is Genesis History?" features over a dozen scientists and scholars explaining how the world intersects with the history recorded in Genesis. From rock layers to fossils, from lions to stars, from the Bible to artifacts, this fascinating film will change the way you see the world. The film’s goal is to provide a reasonable case for Creation in six normal days, a real Adam and Eve, an actual fall, a global flood, and a tower of Babel. Dr. Del Tackett, creator of The Truth Project, serves as your guide—hiking through canyons, climbing up mountains, and diving below the sea—in an exploration of two competing views…one compelling truth.
Also be sure to browse around our channel. There, you can find videos from our "Beyond Is Genesis History?" series, as well as in-depth technical lectures given by creation scientists.
Finally, if you prefer to read articles with a curated video collection, we have lots of free resources at our website: https://bit.ly/3idgpi7
We hope you enjoy the film!
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Romans 1:20
Note: The film includes subtitles in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazilian), Arabic and Bulgarian.

Visit https://www.discoveryu.org/courses/meyer for the full course.
For the first time, you can have living room access to over seven hours of teaching by intelligent design pioneer Stephen Meyer in a brand-new online course. A favorite of students young and old(er), Meyer will delight both as he explores the scientific evidence for intelligent design (ID) found in physics, cosmology, biology and the chemical origin of life.
Join Stephen as he investigates the scientific evidence for intelligent design in the origin of life, the development of biological complexity, and physics and cosmology. In 42 short video lectures, Meyer explores the scientific basis for the theory of intelligent design—the idea that key features of life and the universe are best explained as the product of an intelligent cause rather than an unguided process. In this course, Meyer will guide you through the major concepts and information presented in his path breaking books Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, as well as previewing some of the material about physics and cosmology in his book The Return of the God Hypothesis. Each video lecture is accompanied by a short quiz, and a special digital certificate of completion is offered for those who finish the course. For more about the course visit https://www.discoveryu.org/courses/meyer.

from www.creation.com Seminar starts ~9:30. The book of Genesis is a history book, not a science book. However, the book makes some grand claims about the past that should become evident as we explore the world through science. As a sound source for the history of man, we should be able to detect the major events of Genesis through modern genetics. There are three main events that, if they occurred at all, must have left an indelible mark on our genetic makeup: Creation, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel. Each one of these can be clearly seen if one knows where to look!

Multimedia Presentation by Michael Oard M.S.
Seattle Creation Conference, July 2004
Mill Creek Foursquare Church, Millcreek WA.
Description:
Evolutionary scientists claim there were many ice ages in earth history. Each ice age of the past supposed one million years is said to take 100,000 years. However, the development of an ice age, using the "present is the key to the past" philosophical belief of the evolutionists, is nearly impossible. A model of the ice age will be presented based on the climatic aftermath of the Genesis Flood. Based on heat budget equations of the ocean and atmosphere, the time for the Ice Age is only about 700 years. Furthermore, there was only one Ice Age in earth history.
About the Speaker:
Michael J. Oard (Meteorologist) received his Masters of Science degree in Atmospheric Science from the University of Washington. He has recently retired from the (US) National Weather Service where he worked as a meteorologist/weather forecaster, and now dedicates much of his time to creation science research. Since 2001 he has served on the board of directors of the Creation Research Society.
Mike is a prolific author who has published numerous books and papers and in his field in widely recognized journals. He also travels all over the country for regular speaking engagements at creationist conferences and meetings. Mike Oard particularly specializes in topics such as evidence for Noah's flood, the Ice Age, and the mass extinction of the Wooly Mammoths.

UPDATE: This lecture has obviously hit a nerve. For Prof. Tour's response to his critics, see http://www.jmtour.com/wp-content/uplo.... Tour in his response apologizes for using the word "lying" with regard to Jack Szostak, but he goes on to explain in detail why his substantive criticisms of Szostak's article were correct. To read the criticisms leveled at Tour, see https://stonesnbones.blogspot.com/201....
Dr. Tour is one of the world’s top synthetic organic chemists. He has authored 680 scientific publications and holds more than 120 patents (here is a partial list). In 2014, Thomson Reuters named him one of “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds,” and in 2018 Clarivate Analytics recognized him as one of the world’s most highly cited researchers. Tour is also fearless. He joined more than a thousand other scientists in signing the “Scientific Dissent from Darwinism.” More recently, he has become a thorn in the side of the origin of life research community, offering blunt assessments of the current state of origin of life research.

For thousands of years, people have proposed many objections to Noah’s ark. Because of these doubts, most people don’t even believe that Noah’s ark was real, but think that it was just a made-up story. In this video, Calvin Smith from Answers in Genesis–Canada gives an extremely thorough overview of Noah’s ark that will challenge skeptics and encourage Christians.
