California Presentations on July 2: Tell Your Friends in Orange County

Garden Grove, CA: Who Were the Apemen? – On Saturday, July 2, 2011, Dr. Kezele shakes the evolutionary tree to see whether humans descended from simians (apes, monkeys, bonobos). Examining the physical evidence of anatomy and fossils, and comparing Bible revelation about creation, Dr. Kezele debunks the “family tree” story of human origins.  Tell Californians in Orange County and surrounding areas about this myth shattering event.  

Santa Ana, CA: Dinos to Birds? Horse Feathers! – Later the same date, July 2, Dr. Kezele provides a critique of evolution theory that is perhaps the easiest to understand and use.  Everybody has heard the myth that birds evolved from dinosaurs (or reptiles). With the information from Dr. Kezele’s talk, you can blast that myth to Darwin’s kingdom come.  You’ll get the indisputable facts about: Avian lungs vs. reptilian lungs; bird hips vs. lizard hips; different types of three-clawed feet; the origin of feathers; the origin of flight; and Archaeopteryx and Protoavis. Two incredibly appropriate Scripture verses connect the Bible directly to this subject. You’ll get an understanding you can use again and again.

The Future of Mankind:
What Our Next Generations Must Know and Prepare to Face 

This month’s unique presentation may not be politically correct, popular, or newsworthy. It may be disconcerting, possibly disturbing. You will not find this information in popular magazines, on the 6 o'clock news, in newspapers or even in school textbooks. It doesn’t garner mainstream media attention because it challenges the comfortably enthroned evolutionist worldview, which proclaims itself to be “proven fact.”  But even on its own terms, where does evolution take mankind?  Sal Giardina (B.S., Mechanical Engineering; M.S., Geology) lays out the predictions of evolution, and contrasts them with the history and future of mankind from the Christian worldview. Three locations at 7 p.m.:  Phoenix (Monday, July 18); Tempe (Tuesday, July 19); Tucson (Thursday, July 21). Click on AzOSA Events Calendar for details.  As good as your church, Sunday school, small group, Bible study, or college education may be, we will bet: you have never received these insights from this viewpoint – and the difference could be life changing.
