One Race, One Blood
Self
“You know what the answer to racism is? You start with the true history of the world in the Bible. There is only one race, we are all related, we are all one family. We all have the same problem of sin, we all need the same solution, Jesus Christ.” –Ken Ham Ken Ham shows that the biblical worldview eliminates racism, and emphasizes the need for salvation for all people. This illustrated lecture covers both natural selection, and the genetic scientific data confirming that there are not multiple races, but one human race!
Recent Rapid Formation of Coal and Oil
himself
The observed makeup of the world's immense coal beds does not fit the millions-of-years peat swamp model. Instead it points to rapid accumulation of plant debris through catastrophic global water deposition. Experiments demonstrate it takes as little as a few days to turn buried plant debris into coal, and produce oil from coal and organic debris. The evidence thus confirms the recent, rapid formation of coal and oil as a result of the Biblical Flood!
Circular Reasoning in Dating Methods
himself
Trees grow annual rings; and in lakes thin sediment layers called varves are deposited. Like radiocarbon, these are used as dating methods. It is claimed these methods agree with one another. But closer examination renders them questionable at best. The key to their misuse is circular reasoning, which only proves what is assumed to begin with. For instance, radiocarbon is calibrated against tree rings, but then the tree-ring master chronology is calibrated using radiocarbon. And varves are counted at one per year, but then the counts are corrected using the radiocarbon in organic debris found in the varves themselves. Thus there is no objective dating standard for these three methods. Instead, this forced agreement renders these dating methods totally unreliable. They cannot be used to discredit the Bible's timescale for earth's history.
Age of the Earth
himself
We must accept what God's Word and Jesus taught about the earth's age. We should not fear the radioactive methods geologists use to position rocks as millions of years old, because their methods are based on unprovable assumptions. Many examples of inherited ages, contamination, and non-constant radioactive decay rates demonstrate these assumptions are repeatedly falsified. Instead, there are many scientific evidences of a young earth, such as crumbling comets, the earth's magnetic field losing energy, and rapid salt accumulation in the oceans. If we cannot trust the Bible about the earth's age, then we cannot trust its gospel message.
The Flood
Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling presents several lines of evidence that both confirm the biblical account of the global Flood, and cannot be explained by evolutionary models. From deep sea fossils high atop the Himalayas to the movement of the continents during the Flood, the big picture comes into sharp focus when you look through the lens of the Bible! Understanding the big picture of the events of the Flood year requires a look at the geologic record left from this earth-shaping event. This intriguing presentation will help you make sense of all that accompanied this globally significant event.
Radioactive and Radiocarbon Dating: Turning Foe into Friend
Himself
Few people who think that radiometric dating proves the earth is billions of years old really understand the underlying assumptions. Using simple illustrations, geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling examines these assumptions and equips viewers with information to counter their anti-biblical arguments. Though this topic can seem intimidating, Dr. Snelling boils it down to laymans level and walks the viewer through a basic understanding of the process used to date rocks and fossils. Using simple illustrations, the assumptions used to arrive at dates are exposed as faulty—and the evolutionary timescale along with them. Then, through several lines of evidence, including carbon-14 found in diamonds and fossils, the inconsistent nature of radiometric ages is revealed. Find our how creationists can turn this apparent foe into a friend by starting with Scripture as the ultimate authority!
The Flood: The Big Picture of Its Mechanism and Resulting Evidences

Grand Canyon: Testimony to the Biblical Account of Earth’s History
Himself
Grand Canyon offers some of the most breathtaking vistas in the world, but did the tiny Colorado River really carve this massive feature? Evolutionary thinking about Grand Canyon requires the passage of millions of years. Dr. Andrew Snelling uses diagrams, beautiful photographs of the canyon, and first-hand knowledge to dismantle this story. Then, using the biblical Flood as his starting point, Dr. Snelling shows how Grand Canyon bears testimony to rapid erosion as a result of the waters left behind by the global Flood.
Noah’s Flood and the Earth’s Age: Crucial Apologetics for Reaching Today’s Global Culture
Himself
This presentation reveals the failed attempts of evolutionists to account for their proposed millions of years of earth history, and points to the true biblical age of our planet. As the Apostle Peter warned, there are those who scoff at the biblical account of the Flood and the young age of the earth. Focusing the accuracy of the scriptural account of earth history and the bankruptcy of evolutionary storytelling, geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling presents a truly biblical understanding of the age of the earth. The foundation of the gospel rests on the Bible’s clear account of history—beginning in Genesis. Without the foundation of billions of years of supposed geologic history, the evolutionary worldview crumbles. It is crucial that Scripture—rather than the fallible opinions of men—be used as our authority in all areas.
Radiohalos
himself
Radiohalos have been described as a “very tiny mystery” hidden in the crystals that make up rocks. Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling explains how these tiny mysteries help to unlock a biblical understanding of radiometric dating and the age of the earth. By connecting radiohalos to radiometric dating, a period of accelerated nuclear decay can be explained at the time of the Flood. Rejecting evolutionary assumptions and relying on the Bible as the starting point allows us to understand the true history recorded in the rocks.
