9am | Keynote Address with Jay WIle – “Recent News in Creation Science”
The more we learn about nature, the more we see the scientific futility of evolutionary theory. In this talk, Dr. Wile discusses some of the latest discoveries in science and how they affect the creation/evolution debate. From soft tissue discovered in supposedly ancient fossils to the latest research in physiology, the most recent scientific advances support the case for creation and weaken the case for evolution. This session is suitable for Adults and Teens |

1.00pm | Keynote Address with Jay Wile – “Ask the Beasts”
In this seminar, Dr. Wile will talk about Job 12:7-10, which begins by commanding the reader to “Ask the beasts.” In his view, this Scripture is telling us that we must study nature to fully understand God. While God’s divine revelation (the Bible) is clearly more detailed and precise than His natural revelation (creation), both are necessary to have a full and complete understanding of God. He will give a bit of history to show you that this was the motivation for many of the great scientists of the past, and some great scientists of the present. He then draws from fields such as astronomy, microbiology, zoology, and botany to share at least a bit of what science tells us about God. This session is suitable for Adults and Teens |

3.45pm | Keynote Address with Jay Wile – “Where are They Now?”
Dr. Wile became involved in homeschooling because while he was teaching at the university level, his best students were homeschool graduates. Since then, he has expected homeschoolers to become the true leaders of their generation. To investigate whether or not his expectation is coming true, Dr. Wile tracked down several homeschooled students who are now adults and learned what they are doing. In this talk, Dr. Wile tells you what he learned. You will be amazed at what these young adults are doing and how they have already impacted the world. If you are wondering whether or not homeschool graduates can make a difference in the real world, you should definitely listen to this talk! This session is suitable for Adults and Teens |

7pm | Evening Session Open to the Public
“Creation vs Evolution: Religion vs Science or Religion vs Religion?” with Dr Jay Wile In this seminar, Dr. Wile explores the complicated Creation Versus Evolution debate. He discusses Christian attempts to make the Genesis account compatible with the theory of evolution and shows how these attempts fail. He then proceeds to show that this is not at all a problem for someone who is both a Christian and a scientist. He discusses evolutionists attempts to explain away this data and how such attempts fail. Perhaps the most intriguing part of this seminar comes when Dr. Wile details some of the fantastic life forms on this planet whose existence can never be explained using the theory of evolution. This session is suitable for all including the general public (i.e. not specifically for homeschoolers) |
