Trip to the Creation Museum!
Where did we come from? How did we get here? Are we products of evolution and random chance or are we created by an infinitely intelligent God? Atheistic secularists try to convince us that evolution is the answer and is an undeniable scientific fact. Come to the “Origins” Conference and hear these false claims soundly refuted. Dr. Grady S. McMurtry, from Orlando, Florida, will be the featured speaker. He is a scientist and Christian apologist who specializes in disproving evolution and proving the truth of Biblical creation. He was an evolutionist for 20 years, a theistic evolutionist for a year and a half, and has been a Biblical Creationist for 35 years. He has lectured in universities, colleges, and churches all over the world. Dr. Speas says of Dr. McMurtry, “I have heard a number of Creationist speakers. He is by far the most interesting and convincing one I have ever heard!” This information will equip you so you can refute the evolutionary lies that are rampant in secular schools and are invading Christian schools at an alarming rate.
