In this final session Mike gives powerful evidence for the truthfulness of the Bible. The combination of evidences (manuscript, history, archaeology, prophecy, and science) leaves no doubt that the Bible is God breathed and all of it is good for teaching (2 Timothy 3:16). Mike gives some amazing facts about the Bible and shows that the track record of all those who have opposed God’s Word through ridicule or compromise have been consistently wrong and God‘s Word remains unchanged.

In this fourth session on evidence for the existence of God, Mike demonstrates through empirical science that the worldview of materialism (secular humanism) is false. In the talk Mike explains why information is nonmaterial and that information can only come from an intelligent sender and never from random processes.

Cosmological evidence
Evidence from design

This is a hard hitting and very alarming presentation.
The fact that America was founded upon biblical principles is well documented. But why has America changed? Why has the public education system as well as the secular universities abandoned these principles? In addition, how did secular humanism make its way into many churches, Christian schools and universities? In this presentation Mike presents the communist goals for the American education system and how these goals have now become part of the National Education Association’s charter. The presentation finishes with a solution for combating secular humanism in the churches and Christian schools.

Is there really intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? What about all the claimed UFO sightings? Has NASA made contact with alien life? In this session Mike examines these questions and more. Based on the laws of science and logic, is it possible for alien life to travel vast distances across the universe? Mike also addresses the question, “Did God create life elsewhere in the universe?”

In this interview Dr. Guliuzza shows why the very foundation of evolution (natural selection) is false and nothing more than a modern day “golden calf” worshipped by many. Dr. Guliuzza explains that God, from the beginning, is the One who gave all organisms built-in design mechanisms to adapt to their environment and not “natural selection”.

Why should we believe the Bible is the true Word of God and not other religious books? In this session Mike provides five powerful reasons why the Bible is the only true Word of God.
1. Is there any difference between religions?
2. Who wrote the Bible?
3. Which religious book agrees with reality?
4. Which religious book answers ultimate questions?
5. Who is God and what is He like?

In this session, Mike interviews a former high school biology and chemistry teacher (Roger Patterson). Roger describes how he taught evolution to students in public high school for eight years and then found out the truth. By doing his own research he discovered that evolution was not supported by true science, but was just a worldview (belief). Roger describes how he was taught evolution in the university and that students were told not to challenge what was taught. Roger now works full time for Answers in Genesis as a curriculum developer and online education assistant. He has written two books (Evolution Exposed: Biology and Evolution Exposed: Earth Science) which can be purchased from AiGs web site (www.answersingenesis.org).

Many people believe that evolution really happened and that life originated by purely naturalistic means and humans evolved over millions of years from some ape-like creature. Rather than just listening to claims of events that no one has ever observed (big bang, the origin of life, human evolution,…), Mike challenges us with the question, “Is evolution even mathematically possible?” In this session Mike keeps both the science and math simple. He also shows in the conclusion that Romans 1:19-20 and Jeremiah 32:17 are biblical and logical facts.

• The Age of the earth
• Our understanding of science
• Our original relationship with God
• The consequences of sin
• The foundation for human rights

Why can’t all Christians and churches get along? Why is there so much disunity between Christians and churches?
The Bible never says we should come together just on the issues we agree on. The Bible never states we should only teach the parts we like and not the parts that are controversial. The Bible does teach that we should keep the truth. A church can’t just make up its own rules (doctrines) to establish unity. Unity must be found in the truth of God’s Word. There is nothing in God’s Word that is divisive. God’s Word does not create disunity. It happens when people don’t believe the plain reading of His Word and begin reinterpreting it or watering it down (for example: millions of years, Genesis is not real history, the gap theory, no such place as hell, works based,…).

You are in a house that is burning. Inside is a dog, a valuable painting and another human being. If you could only save one, which would it be? Not everyone has the same answer to this situation. It depends on our worldview (starting point) and how we value human life. If our worldview starts with evolution, then human life is no more valuable than a dog’s life. However, if we begin with the fact that we were created in the image and likeness of God, then human life has a higher value.

In this powerful PRO-LIFE video Mike presents the biblical and scientific evidence for life beginning at conception. He also answers two very important questions:
When do we become a person?
When does human life begin?
Mike presents statistics that show over 80% of abortions are not a true choice but rather made for convenience or from pressure (an act of despair). The presentation finishes with Mike answering eight common challenges from the anti-life (“choice”) movement.
Mike uses quotes from leading abortionists, medical doctors, leading textbooks on human development, scientists and the Bible.

Did dinosaurs really evolve into birds as many evolutionists claim? In this session Mike examines the real evidence and clearly shows that that:
1. There is no observational evidence to support the claim dinosaurs evolved into birds.
2. Evolutionists commonly resort to artistic drawings in textbooks rather than real evidence.
3. Evolutionists have produced a history of false claims.
4. The scientific evidence supports dinosaurs and birds lived at the same time just as the Bible teaches.

In part 2 of Genesis and End Times, Mike goes through the final three topics:
1. Tools for understanding language in the Bible
2. An incredible beginning
3. An incredible ending
Mike continues with the theme, “Paradise Created, Paradise Lost, Paradise Restored and it all Points to Jesus Christ”. Mike shows that without a proper understanding of the book of Genesis we cannot fully understand the Gospel or the book of Revelation.
The session concludes with an exciting comparison of nine direct relationships between the books of Genesis and Revelation.

In this first of two sessions on Genesis and End Times, Mike goes through the first two parts:
Session 1
1. The Book of Revelation in 5 minutes
2. Tools for understanding numbers in the Bible
Session 2
3. Tools for understanding language in the Bible
4. An incredible beginning
5. An incredible ending
Mike gives clear evidence that when numbers are used in the Bible they are meant to be taken literally unless there is something in the language that indicates otherwise. Mike uses examples from both the books of Genesis and Revelation, as well as other books, to demonstrate the literal meaning of numbers.
