CREATION WEEKEND 2010
Charles Darwin proposed his theory in 1859 in the book “The Origin of Species.” Since that time secular scientists have been successful at injecting it into the curriculum at all public schools and sadly, most religious schools. In the process they have excluded any mention of God, Creation or even Intelligent Design.
They’ve been able to do this in spite of the fact that it is an untestable and unprovable theory that is without foundation, and it flies in the face of the obvious evidence of design that is everywhere.
Darwinian Theory contradicts the Word of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. As followers of Christ, we need to understand how to refute it and also how to present the abundant evidence for Creation.
The Men’s Ministry and the Evangelism Ministry at NCC have joined together to provide you with the information that you need. Creation Weekend will take place at NCC the weekend of March 26th - 28th with sessions to be held on Friday night and Saturday and Sunday morning. Our featured speaker for the event is Skip Tilton from Creation Ministries International. Members of the Missouri Association for Creation Speakers Bureau will also be hosting forums on a variety of topics. Please click the link for the Schedule of Events to get a complete rundown and description of the events of the weekend.
Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to bring friends and family who need to hear the truth of God’s Word as it relates to creation as well a refutation of Darwin’s theory.

Breakout Speakers and Topics
Gary Winkler
Gary is an engineer with 20 years experience and has received multiple patents. After being confronted in 2004 with evidence that human evolution stories were dubious, he began researching all the lines of "evidence for evolution". His resulting conclusion is that science thoroughly supports the Biblical model and it soundly rejects the evolutionary model. He now works to share this information with others, to help them defend their faith, and to know that the Bible is true from beginning to end.
In Six Days?
This presentation examines whether the primary scientific evidences often used to support evolution actually fit the creation or evolution model best. It also examines exactly what the Bible says about the creation of the world, in order to determine whether old earth theories match the Biblical account. You may want to bring your Bibles to follow along!
Marv Schaefer
Marv graduated St. Louis University in 1973 with a Bachelors degree in Marketing. He is a Deacon at New Community Church in Wildwood, MO where he also serves as a member of the Men's Ministry Leadership team
His interest in the Creation/Evolution debate was kindled in 2004 when his 5th grade daughter was laughed at by her classmates and dismissed by her teacher for not believing that the earth is billions of years old. Since that time Marv has become a diligent student of Biblical Creation and the inherent flaws of the theory of evolution.
Marv attended Creation College hosted by Answers in Genesis in the summer of 2006 and alongside fellow MAC Speaker's Bureau member Scott Jarus has taught several 13 week courses at New Community Church on Biblical Creation. He also served as the Chairman of the Creation Weekend event at New Community that featured Dr. Kevin Anderson of the Creation Research Society.
Marv uses both absurdity and humor to press important points in his presentations. They are entertaining and thought-provoking for young adults as well as long-time believers.
The Top 10 Reasons to Reject the Theory of Evolution
Evolutionists bow at the altar of Naturalism and will not allow any reasoning that is not naturalistic to enter the debate. Is this rational? Are evolutionists truly seeking the truth and willing to go where the evidence leads them or will they stop at the door that leads them away from naturalistic conclusions? This presentation will inform those in attendance of 10 of the best arguments against the theory of evolution including four laws of nature that would have to be broken for evolution to be true. Other topics that will be addressed include the Scientific Method, the fossil record, evidence for design and the accuracy of Scripture.
One Blood: The Truth About The Races
Darwin's two famous books are "On the Origin of Species" and "The Descent of Man. His writings taught that man had evolved from an ape-like ancestor and that the species "Homo Sapiens" was still being evolved. Darwin also thought that the various types of people in existence were simply at different stages of evolution and this influenced many, even those in the church, to have racist attitudes. This presentation will examine what God has to say about man, where he came from, where did all these differences in people come from, and what science really says about "the races".
John Chaikowsky
John Chaikowsky was born in Alton, Illinois. Following service in the United States Army he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Earth Sciences from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville and then received his Secondary Teaching Certification in 1979.
John has a wide range of experience, having been a surveyor and a high school science and math teacher before beginning his current career as a cartographer for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in 1981.
John was successful in getting creationism taught in the Alton, Illinois public schools in 1979 and once took the Creation side in a debate with Dr. Joseph Travis, a Geneticist at Florida State University. He is a member of the Creation Research Society and has had several letters published in Geotimes magazine. He is currently the email correspondent for Missouri Association of Creation.
John has been a deacon for 8 years and is a member of the First Baptist Church of Fosterberg.
Things We Know for Sure About Creation that Evolutionists Have To Explain Away
Have you ever heard evolutionists accuse creationists of using the God-of-the-Gaps explanation for things that science can't explain just yet? They suggest that Creationists should just sit back and let science eventually find the answer since our belief is only against evolution and not for creation. Nothing could be further from the truth. This presentation will show that Creationists have solid scientific reasons for believing in creationism. The evolutionists find themselves scrambling to explain these away.
Bill Barnes
Bill Barnes has worked as a Material Scientist for 15 years in the defense and aerospace industries developing and producing various Aluminum and Magnesium alloys that are cast, rolled, or extruded. Upon further examination of the believed theory of evolution, Bill was led to question all that he was taught on the subject and compare it with the Biblical model of Creation. After 6 months of investigation, Bill was totally won over to the Creation side of the origins debate. Bill has been in the Creation ministry since 1997 and believes that this subject is foundational for fighting for objective truths in our culture.
Things That You Didn't Learn in Public School
Since Public Schools teach science with an evolutionary worldview, they tend to leave out things that don't fit that paradigm including many human and animal facts and behaviors that point to an awesome Creator. This presentation will look at some of them and will explore some behavioral mysteries in the animal kingdom as well.
Kevin Rose
Kevin’s interest in the creation/evolution debate took root in 2001 after viewing the video series “Answers with Ken Ham.” He decided that the creation/evolution debate is fundamentally important to understanding the world we live in. He has twice attended Answers In Genesis’ Creation College and has taught several courses on Biblical Creation to both teens and adults.
He has also been involved in organizing Creation seminars that featured nationally known speakers such as Mike Riddle, Michael Oard and Don DeYoung.
Kevin has served for four years as a Deacon at his home church in Phoenix, AZ and is currently attending Concordia Seminary with the ultimate goal of Pastoring.
The Flood, Fossils and the Ice Age
This presentation will show those in attendance how present local catastrophic flooding events help to explain the global catastrophic nature of Noah's flood and its after-effects. It will also examine how evidence is interpreted and which paradigm, the Biblical Flood or Uniformitarianism, best explains sedimentary rocks, fossils, and remnants of the ice age we find today.
