above to be taken to that lecturer's message below!
This year's Steeling the Mind Conference was fantastic. They had a great lineup of speakers and they blessed us with the sound truth of God's Word. The lecturers spoke on issues like creation, false religion, the gospel, the truth, Bible prophecy, and much more. Please read my notes below and be blessed!
Creation Science Evangelism - http://drdino.com
Of the three things God hates, two of them are lying.
Richard Lewontin - "Evolution is a fact; not a theory." - This is a lie.
Don't you think that teachers who deliberately lie should be fired?
Evolutionists are always trying to erase the line between their theory and the fact.
There is a difference between a theory and a fact.
The top of Grand Canyon is higher than where the water enters the canyon by 1000 feet! Therefore, there is no way that the Grand Canyon was created in millions of years. It was created very quickly.
Petrified trees that are standing through different layers of the "geologic column" prove that the column's layers aren't billions of years old.
There is no such thing as a geologic column.
All of the theory of evolution hinges on the geologic column being having layers of different ages.
There is no such thing as a Cambria era or a Jurassic period.
A book that taught him about the supposed geologic column impacted Darwin greatly and changed his path in life from preacher to evolutionary scientist.
The word evolution has six different meanings:
1) Cosmic evolution (e.g. the Big Bang)
2) Chemical evolution (e.g. uranium evolved from hydrogen)
3) Stellar evolution (e.g. stars forming)
4) Organic evolution (e.g. life from non-living material)
5) Macro-evolution (e.g. an animal changing to a different kind of animal)
6) Micro-evolution (e.g. variation within a kind)
The first five have never been seen. Only the last one has been seen.
Factual evolution is a change in species over time.
100 years of selective breeding a millions of dollars has only helped horses to drop 3 seconds from their time in the Kentucky Derby.
Hutton's book made people doubt the Bible. Lyell's book made people doubt the flood. Darwin's book made people doubt the Creator.
It is perfectly fine to have dumb theories. Lying about dumb theories to support them is wrong. Getting tax dollars to pay for people to teach lies that support dumb theories is even worse.
Fossils do not count as evidence for evolution. All we know from a fossil is that it died; not that it had offspring and surely not that the alleged offspring evolved.
Evolution is based on two faulty assumptions: mutations make something new and natural selection makes it survive and take over the population.
Evolution is a religion of death. The weakest die.
Did man bring death into the world or did death bring man into the world?
Natural selection is a selection process. It cannot create.
Natural selection cannot create a new species.
Survival of the fittest does not explain the arrival of the fittest.
All fruit fly mutations produced flies that were inferior to the original fly.
Evolutionists conclude that fruit flies have evolved as far as they can go. Creationists conclude that God made them the way that they should be.
It is possible for questions to have built in assumptions. For example, "Have humans stopped evolving?" These are the kinds of questions that are in evolutionary textbooks that are in our classrooms. It's Soviet-style indoctrination and it doesn't promote critical thinking.
Haeckel was a liar because he drew fake drawings of embryonic development. At his trial, he said, "I should feel utterly condemned were it not for hundreds of (evolutionists) that lie as well." This lie has been in textbooks for over 100 years. Haeckel's charts were still used in U.S. textbooks in 2002 and are likely still being used today.
National Center for Science Education has an admitted agenda to "keep creationism out of science textbooks."
I hope evolutionists are simply confused. If they are lying, then we can't fix that.
Evolutionists say that humans lost their tails through evolution because they didn't need it. Did you ever think how handy a tail would be? Have you ever gotten to your door with two armfuls of groceries?
Evolution is unproved and improvable.
Satan is using lies to draw people away from God's kingdom.

There are over 2,000 types of amino acids and only 20 are used in life.
Every experiment we have ever done has always ended up with an equal number of left handed and right handed amino acids.
A mixture of left handed and right handed amino acids is a poison to life.
Each body is full of only left handed amino acids. The tendency is always to bond the two and continue away from life; not toward life.
Evolution has ruled out the truth of a Creator God, so evolutionists will accept anything in the place of the truth of God.
In essence, evolutionists are saying that 3 plus 1 equals 7 because the real answer, in this case 4, is "too religious for them."
One cell in our body is more complex than any computer we have ever built.
Is it logical to conclude that a cell could evolve from natural processes?
"Give it enough time and it will happen" is not a scientific statement. It is a faith-based statement. It is saying that they don't know what happened, but if we give it enough time, then something will happen.
Scientists affirm that the law of probability states if the chances of something happening is over 10 to the 50th power, then it will "never" happen.
The chances are 10 to the 191st power that a single protein can occur by random chance.
The chances of a single cell forming by random chance is 10 to the 40,000th power!
To say that life could evolve from nothing defies science and logic.
A person can believe in evolution, but not because of the science. A person believes in evolution because of their belief system.
Anything that violates the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics could never happen. It states, "Energy goes from a usable to less usable state over time in an isolated system."
An open system is any system where you can add and remove energy. The Earth is an open system and so is nearly everything else we know.
An isolated system is one where no matter or energy can get in or out. The universe is an isolated system.
Four Required Conditions for Evolution
1. An open system (earth)
2. Available energy source (sun)
3. A way to capture and store raw energy
4. Energy conversion mechanism
We are all decaying. We began this decay at conception.
Where did the immense amount of DNA come from? The only tenable answer is in Genesis 1.
4 Things Detrimental to the Origin of Life
1) Oxygen in the atmosphere
2) Second Law of Thermodynamics (time)
3) Water (hydrolysis)
4)
If I tell you only part of the evidence and you believe it, you have not been taught, you have been indoctrinated.
If I tell you all the evidence and you make a decision, then you have been taught.
Congress has said that we can teach both sides (e.g. evolutionism and creation). However, other agencies have tried to take away this right and scare creationists into being silent.
No scientist on this planet can tell you how life originated.
Why should we accept evolution when you cannot produce the evidence?
When evolutionists tell us about their faith, creationists should tell them about our faith.
Evolution has no foundation for the origin of information.
Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries - http://pro-gospel.org
You cannot expect a counterfeit Jesus to save you from your sins.
If you are embracing a counterfeit Jesus, you will pay the price.
Nobody has ever denied someone's work like the world has denied the work of Christ.
Are you bearing another Jesus? Another Jesus always produces another gospel besides the biblical gospel.
What we believe about Jesus has eternal consequences.
10 of Jesus' Attributes
1) The eternal God and Creator (John 1:1, 3, Hebrews 1:3)
The Mormons, Jehovah's witnesses, and Christian Science adherents do not believe in an eternal Jesus Christ.
Nobody knows that they have been deceived until they know the truth.
2) Jesus is Lord and Head of the Church (Revelation 19:16, Colossians 1:18, 2:9)
Catholics replace Jesus as Head of the Church with their own authority (e.g. the Pontiff as the Vicar of Christ in Catechism 883).
3) Jesus is the Only Savior (Acts 4:12, Psalm 49:7-8)
Catholics deny that Jesus is the only Savior (Catechism 1477 and 841).
4) Jesus Saves Forever (Hebrews 7:25, John 5:24, 6:37-39, 10:28)
A counterfeit Armenian Jesus does not save forever (Catechism 1035).
An infant baptism ensures probation and conditional life; not the road to eternal life. Infant baptism puts salvation in a human's hands when salvation and eternal life belong to God and the one who trusts the biblical Christ.
As a Catholic, Heaven is not an option. One either dies and goes to Hell or purgatory.
5) Jesus Paid the Complete Punishment for Sin (Colossians 2:13-14)
The Catholic Jesus failed to pay sin's complete punishment (Catechism paragraph 1459).
6) Jesus Shed His Precious Blood to Purify Sin (1 John 1:7, Hebrews 1:3)
Catholics reject the blood of Jesus by trusting a place (Purgatory) instead of a person (Catechism 1030-1031). Mormons reject this as well.
7) Jesus Offered Himself Once to Finish the Work of Redemption (John 19:30, Hebrews 9:12, 9:25, 10:14, 10:18, 10:28)
Catholics offer Jesus daily thus continuing to do what he finished (Catechism 1367).
In Catholic churches, we see almost always see and hear Jesus as a baby in Mary's arms, as a piece of bread (e.g. the wafer), or being crucified on the cross; not as the risen Savior reigning in power.
8) Jesus Redeemed Believers from the Curse of the Law (Galatians 3:10-13)
Mormons, JW's, and Catholics must obey the laws to be justified. Therefore, these religions are still living under the curse of the law because they have not trusted Jesus Christ for their salvation and justification (Catechism 1068).
9) Jesus Will Return to the Earth in Glory (Matthew 24:27-30, Acts 1:11, Hebrews 9:28)
The Catholic Jesus returns physically to the Earth every day (Catechism 1374).
There is no salvation in worshiping a false Christ (Matthew 24:23-24). Transubstantiation fits this description of false worship.
10) Jesus is the Only Sinless Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 4:5)
Jesus is the only qualified mediator between God and humankind.
Catholics have another sinless mediator: Mary (Catechism 494 and 969).
The Mormons have other mediators as well. Their living prophets stand as mediators between God and mortals.
There are two gospels: the gospel of grace and the gospel of works.
All of the other religions of the world speak about what humans must do instead of what Christ has already done.
If we add one ounce of human effort to God's grace, then we have nullified the only way that He can save us.
His righteousness, not ours, makes us right with God.
Biblical Discipleship Ministries - http://biblicaldiscipleship.org
What will you say when God asks you if have ever read His book?
God reveals Himself in two main ways: general and special revelation (creation and the Bible).
When can trust the Bible; even from the first page.
If our Savior is not our Creator, then He doesn't have the right to save us. Only the Creator has the ability to redeem His creation.
The more equipped we become, the more shame we will receive by promoting and loving Christ.
Only 4% of Christian teens believe the basic Christian doctrines.
The worldview ideas of creation and evolution carry certain consequences.
Your behavior shows what you believe.
There are unrighteous people who suppress the evidence of God because they cannot explain it in evolutionary terms.
See Romans 1:16-25.
Why didn't roaches evolve? Fossilized roaches that have been dated by evolutionists as extremely old have shown that present-day roaches have not evolved. Evolutionists say they didn't evolve because they didn't need to evolve.
Evolution robs God of His glory.
Stuart-Parks Consulting
Before you can determine someone is lying, you need a baseline.
You have three to five seconds after you ask a question to determine whether or not someone is lying.
Take culture into account when you look for lying.
Some people are simply good liars.
Self-grooming behavior (e.g. playing with hair, picking hairs off clothing, etc.). This could happen when one is alone, comfortable, or nervous.
Talking with one's hands has meaning, but if they were to stop talking with their hands, that would mean even more.
If a person is steepling their hands over their face, they think they are better than you. If they are steepling their hands over their mouth, then they aren't going to tell you about it.
When a person is trying to deceive you, their language could dip in volume and speed.
Every word that a person says counts and means something.
People can deceive others by leaving out important information.
If a person is giving you some remarkably unimportant information, they could be leaving out something important by trying to get you to concentrate on something meaningless.
Consider what isn't being said.
When the language (e.g. descriptive words) change, but there is no reason for it, something has happened that has been omitted.
A change in language indicates a change in circumstances.
When a person drops a pronoun, it shows they aren't confident in their statement.
Passive language allows a person to hide a lie by telling the truth.
When people talk, they usually order things from most to least important.
Trying means to attempt, fail, or not succeed.
Really and actually are unnecessary words. Remove them and the statement is the same. When someone uses them, the opposite could be true.
It's almost impossible to say, "I didn't do it" if someone did it. One will say "I'm innocent" or "I'm pleading innocent" or "I deny . . ."
Buying time is a sign of guilt. A significant pause or perhaps sound effects. Or answering a question with a question.
Multiple and/or repetitious denials can reveal lying.
On page 42 and 43 of the LDS "Articles of Faith," by James E. Talmage, there is a contradiction on God's omnipresence. Their literature clearly says He is, they qualify their statement, then they take it back and say He isn't!
On page 42, it says "God is Omnipresent." However, on page 43 it says both of the following things: "…but this does not mean that the actual person of any one member of the Godhead can be physically present in more than one place at one time…" "His (God’s) person cannot be in more than one place at any one time."

Mel Gibson isn't a Catholic, but he is an off-shoot Catholic with some Gnostic leanings (e.g. the exaltation of Mary). He is the director and producer of The Passion.
The Passion's script was based on visions from two Catholic 17th and 18th century mystic nuns.
Gibson wanted The Passion movie to be a "shocking extreme" and to "push viewers over the edge."
James Caviezel plays Jesus and was inspired by appearances/visions of Mary.
Caviezel is Catholic and said, "I believe this movie was made by Mary for her Son."
"If I am going to play this guy, then I'm going to go to mass each day," said Caviezel.
Monica Bellucci plays Mary Magdalene. In her real life, she is an unrepentant porn star.
The Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans; not by an earthquake when Jesus died.
The Jewish leaders were against Jesus, but many more believed Him.
The Essenes (an ancient Jewish sect that lived outside Jerusalem at the time of Christ) believed that the Messiah had to suffer, die, and be resurrected.
The Triclinium for the Jewish Passover meal was set up in a way that John was on Jesus' left side and Judas was on His right. Judas was reclining in the seat of the honored guest and He received Jesus' bread after He dipped it; revealing that He would be the one to betray Jesus Christ.
The Passion movie devotes 12 seconds to Jesus Christ's resurrection and many minutes to His agony on the cross.

In Luke 24 and John 20, we read that the disciples found grave clothes in the tomb.
The Shroud of Turin is a little over 14 feet long. It is clearly of a person who was crucified.
There is a left-right reversal on the film of pictures of the Shroud of Turin.
Around 1550, the shroud was caught in a fire. It burned the cloth in a way where light that hits it appears to put the crucified man on a throne.
The shroud closely resembles some ancient drawings of Jesus around the 10th century; indicating how people have thought that it was Jesus' grave clothing as they drew pictures of Him from it. The paintings and drawings had unusual features that closely resembled the shroud (a triangle between the eyes, an elongated nose, a slightly off-centered chin, a line across his neck, hair parted in the middle, etc.).
Three different countries carbon dated the shroud to the 13th century, but there is no way this could be true.
In 592 and 602 A.D., the Romans minted the first coins with Jesus on them. They read, "King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
The 4th century paintings of Jesus have between 70 and 200 points of likeness between their artwork and the shroud.
There are a number of species of pollens on the shroud from the Dead Sea area that have not been growing there for over 1,000 years.
The dirt on the shroud from the crucified man's feet is limestone from soil that is found almost exclusively from the Jerusalem area.
There is a coin's imprint on the shroud and near one eye. It closely resembles a coin that we have with an inscription of Pontius Pilate and a shepherd's staff on it. This coin was minted between 28-32 A.D.
Enhanced photographs show blood all over the crucified man's face, hands, and chest.
There is no word for wrist in ancient Greek. The word "hand" is used to describe the wound that Jesus received in his arm area. The Greek is inexact though and most people think that Jesus was nailed through the wrist; partly because this Greek word that is generally translated "hand" allows for it.
We have a superficial image. The blood goes through, but the image doesn't. The blood isn't even on the back side of the fibers.
The crucified man's hands are crossed; left over the right.
The left leg is raised a little.
Strangely, the entire image on the shroud is represented equally on the cloth. Even the areas that should be vague because it wasn't directly touching the cloth are visible and apparent.
The image on the shroud cannot be duplicated with all of the modern science that we have because the image is equally represented through the bottom and the top of the fibers.
The image on the cloth is 3D and frankly beyond description.
A close up of the back wounds from the man on the shroud indicate the same whipping that was described in the Bible. These marks are all over the back of the shroud.
There is a clear blood mark in the side of the crucified man.
The hands on the cloth appear to have emanated radiation. The fingers look like elongated bones. It looks like a force was coming out of the body.
There are bones in the hands and feet that made it possible to be hung with a nail and still remain free from broken bones. Being stabbed through the fifth and sixth ribs and into the heart is also possible.
There are whipping marks on his thighs and calves; virtually every part of his body.
This man is in very good shape, but his abdomen reveals death by affixation.
A Yale physicist said that something was coming from the dead body akin to radiation. He also said that if this radiation had been released, it could have leveled the city of Jerusalem.
The shroud was either Jesus' cloth or it was of someone who was purposely crucified with the intent to appear like Jesus' crucifixion.
Some say the shroud reveals the resurrection of Christ.

Jesus held the Pharisees accountable to know the time of Christ's appearance. If they were held accountable, then where does that put us?
Technology was predicted by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:22. In the 1800's, this prophecy wouldn't make a lot of sense. Today, this prophecy hangs over the heads of every government on the face of the Earth (e.g. WMD).
How do you have a race with someone who believes they go to Heaven if they lose?
There are about 15 countries that are nuclear capable.
There are over 27 countries that are developing their own advanced ballistic missiles.
Zechariah 14:12 apparently describes a neutron bomb.
In February of 2001, we were 10 minutes away from using a neutron bomb on the adversaries of Israel.
Red mercury fusion refers to a hydrogen bomb that is not radioactive. This bomb is something that could be carried undetected in one's pocket.
In Syria, there is an airbase in a city near al Baida that has tunnels with weapons in them.
Chuck thinks that the U.S. knows about these weapons from the defected Syrian journalist, but are waiting until September or October to remove them and publicly announce it.
Saudi Arabia tried to buy missiles from the U.S., but we wouldn't sell them to them, so they bought them from China. At El Salyall, the Chinese are installing these weapons. These 121 missiles have 3 nuclear warheads a piece. These weapons can reach from Greece to India.
Iran has the largest standing army excluding Turkey. There are 20,000 Russian technicians working at the Bushehr nuclear site.
Intelligence shows that Iran will have a nuclear capability on par with Saudi Arabia's within 10 months (approximately 1-1-05).
Israel has made it clear that they will target Mecca and Medina if they are threatened.
Biological weapons are perfect for terrorists. Symptoms are often delayed, giving terrorists time to escape.
Over 15 countries are seeking biological weapons.
We are now finding that the Spanish Flu of 1918 that killed 20 million people could have been engineered.
Scientists are beginning to develop technologies that could be used to build a weapon to attack only one person by their DNA.
The European Union is adding 10 nations between January and May of 2004.
The EU will have 446 million people and a GDP of 12 billion euros per year.
The U.S. has 280 million people and has a GDP of 10 billion euros.
By October, Turkey will either be disallowed to join the EU and will turn to the East/Mideast or they will be accepted. If they get denied and turn to the Muslim Mideast, then they will complete the list of countries aligned in the Magog Invasion of Ezekiel 38 and 39.
In Europe today, there are about 13 million Muslims. 63% of the EU is Muslim.
Terrorists are not "fanatics," but devout fundamentalist Muslims who are earnestly following their religion.
A Muslim who leaves their faith has a pronouncement of death upon them.
TWA 800: Missile took it down and the government covered it up.
There are a number of man-portable missiles. SA-7, SA-18 (both Russian), and U.S. Stingers are the main ones.
Why hasn't there been a 9-11 follow up event? One possibility is that Al Qaeda is waiting until after the Bush administration is gone.
Zechariah 12:2 and 3 says that anyone who takes on Israel will suffer from a global hernia.
The EU and UN are deeply anti-semitic.
The road map to peace deceives the world concerning the true identity of the Palestinian people. The Jewish people are the real Palestinians.
9 times Israel gave huge concession offers to the Arabs, but they rejected them.
Arafat has repeatedly told the Arabs, in Arabic, that whatever Israel concedes will be used against them to eliminate them.
The biggest problem with the road map to peace is that it pokes a finger in the eye of God. That peace of ground does not belong to the UN or the Palestinians. It belongs to God and He gave it to Israel.
When the U.S. pressured Israel, we faced some of the worst weather phenomenon that became the worst insurance disasters in the history of this country.
The world is challenging the Abrahamic covenant with the road map to peace.
Every blessing that we have from God came through the Abrahamic covenant.
The Messianic movement in the U.S. and Israel is on the rise.
The Kings of the East in Revelation 16:12 and Isaiah 49 (Sinim or Sinites) is referring to China. They have about 1.3 billion people and are the 2nd largest economy in the world. They have 25% of the world output and are growing 7% quicker than the U.S.
China receives $50 billion a year of in-flow of capital; which is over $136 million per day!
China will soon be the world's second most powerful military giant.
China is studying how to defeat the U.S. in the war they believe is coming and inevitable. Time is on their side, though.
Their CSS-4 has developed improved accuracy, range, and multiple warheads from technology that Clinton's administration sold to them.
Every 14 months or so the Chinese and the Russians do military exercises together and consider how to overcome the United States.
The Vatican is trying to position itself to be the leader of the world's religion.
The Pope kissed the Koran and endorsed Islam as a viable and true way to God and Heaven. However, there are still 100 condemning anathemas for Protestant Christians.
The U.S. Supreme Court is using European precedents for their rulings.
In order for Babylon to be destroyed as the Bible said it would be, it would likely have to be rebuilt in structure and power, then destroyed.
In 1986, Hussein had meetings in rebuilt Babylon. Today, the Shiite Muslims want to have their new capital in Babylon.
Our country has some financial and military predicaments, but our moral predicament is our largest problem.
