Past Meetings

  • Discovering the Hidden World of Mt. St. Helens

    The 40th anniversary of the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. This catastrophic event, in a matter of minutes, produced a 230-square-mile area of destruction, which became known as the ‘blast zone.’ Within its confines, forests, meadows, wetlands, streams, and lakes were severely cataclysmed. Initial predictions from scientists called for a very prolonged and […]

  • The Age of Creation

    Cancelled! ♦ Due to concerns over spreading the coronavirus, and seeking compliance with the directive to avoid meetings with more than 250 people, DSA has cancelled the March meeting. ♦ Chris Ashcraft  •  March 21st, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ Christ Ashcraft will speak to us in March on The Age of Creation. Secular science teaches that […]

  • Egyptian Chronology

    Gary Bates  •  February 22nd, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ Gary Bates of Creation Ministries International (CMI) returns to DSA this February! NOTE: this will be the 4TH SATURDAY instead of the 3rd Saturday, due to Gary Bates’ schedule. Egyptian chronology can be a challenging subject for biblical creationists. That’s because the secular, majority view about these […]

  • Dinosaur Eggs, Nests, and Babies

    J. D. Mitchell  •  January 18th, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ J. D. Mitchell will speak to us this January! Dinosaur eggs, nests (clutches), and baby fossils are found in locations around the world. The Biblical Christian worldview and global flood of about 4,500 years ago better explain these paleontological evidences than does the secular worldview. Not […]

  • Dinosaur Soft Tissue

    Dr. Thomas Kindell  •  December 21st, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ Why Do “Old” Dinosaur Bones Contain Soft Tissue, Proteins, DNA, and Carbon 14? The discovery of totally unexpected soft tissue and C-14 in dinosaur bones has sent shockwaves through the evolutionary scientific community. This presentation documents that their most recent rebuttal claims do not hold water. […]

  • Merging Science and Scripture

    Eric Hovind  •  November 16th, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ Science and Scripture are often presented as conflicting subject matter. Often the result is people doubting the accuracy and authority of the Bible. Would you like to integrate true scientific facts with biblical truth in an exciting, convincing way? Twenty year veteran, Eric Hovind, demonstrates captivating examples […]

  • How to Fold a Rock

    Bruce Malone  •  October 19th, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ Since evolution is a belief system and not dependent on reproducible experimentation for validation, it continually shifts to absorb any observation. Over the last few decades evolutionary geology has come to accept catastrophe in the Earth’s past as the correct explanation for much of the sedimentary rock […]

  • Mushrooms – Fruit of the Forest Mushrooms at base of tree

    Rachel Zoller  •  September 21st, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ Fungi are more than dirty decomposers, they are life-givers. Mushrooms, which are the often forgotten fruit of the forest, evoke mystery and intrigue. Let’s take a look beyond the surface level and go underground into the world of fungi with Rachel. She will breakdown how to identify […]

  • The Great Dinosaur Dilemna

    Dr. Thomas Kindell  •  July 20th, 9:00am to 11:30am ♦ Why Do “Old” Dinosaur Bones Contain Soft Tissue, Proteins, DNA, and Carbon 14? The discovery of totally unexpected soft tissue and C-14 in dinosaur bones has sent shockwaves through the evolutionary scientific community. This presentation documents that their most recent rebuttal claims do not hold water. […]

  • The Global Flood

    For some, the thought of a worldwide flood is ludicrous. But for serious scientists who research the various formations of the earth and the catastrophic processes that shaped the world we see around us today, the evidence of a global flood is indisputable. Dr. Morris presents that evidence in a way that clearly demonstrates why […]
