Starlight, Time and the New Physics is connected to the new ground breaking physics and cosmology of Moshe Carmeli, formerly the Albert Einstein Professor of Theoretical Physics, Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva, Israel. The Cosmological Relativity equations of Carmeli, when applied to Einstein’s relativity equations, show that “time is relative” to particular cosmological events and conditions. The new physics has special significance for the initial inflationary creation event - the spreading out of the cosmos. The cosmological relativity physics of this initial inflationary phase has a special relevance to young earth creationist who have faithfully held to the literal reading of Genesis. And to all Christians who take the opening verses of Genesis at face value.
Dr John Hartnett, Research Professor, Department of Physics, University of Western Australia (UWA) will reveal how this new cosmological physics not only eliminates the major problems associated with Big Bang cosmology, but further establishes that there is no need for contrived cosmological "fudge factors" such as the existence of the elusive ‘dark’ matter or ‘dark’ energy needed to explain observations in the universe.
As stated by Alex Williams, former consultant to the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, “The idea that God created the universe in six days just a few thousand years ago is now not only intellectually respectable, it’s a far better explanation for what we observe than its competitors.”
Dr Michael L Brown - Video Link Up!
Dr Michael L Brown is regarded as one of the world's leading Jewish Messianic scholars and Apologists. He has studied Jewish history and theology at leading Rabbinical institutions, and is author of the classic best selling series Answering Jewish Objection to Jesus. Dr Brown has also publicly debated some of the world foremost Rabbis and scholars, demonstrating precisely why the only person that could ever match the predictions and expectations regarding the long awaited Jewish Messiah is Jesus of Nazareth.

Philosophy: Why the New Atheism Has No Answers
The New Atheism offers nothing. And takes away all that western culture has ever valued. Leading its followers into a barren spiritual and intellectual wilderness where life and existence is stripped bare of all ultimate meaning and purpose. A bleak place with no ultimate philosophical or scientific basis for human ideals such as justice, morality, values, ethics, right, altruism, or sacrificial love. A materialistic world of "particles on motion" that looks to "uncaring" cosmological events and the uncaring ruthless evolutionary struggle as the source of human love and self sacrifice. The atheists pantheistic creator god is a dependent dying universe that cannot even prevent itself from running down to maximum entropy, chaos and heat death. While claiming that their new atheism is based on reason, science and "NON-BELIEF" in God, or gods, they fill their books and web pages expounding their foundational "beliefs" which can never be ultimately substantiated, either philosophically or scientifically. Discover WHY the New Atheism is an irrational and absurd world view. And why there is NO logical, philosophical, scientific, historical, or existential basis to the New Atheism, and why THEISM alone fits the facts.
Biology: Darwinian Delusion, In a Tailor Made Universe.
The prominent atheist and Darwinian champion, Richard Dawkins, was asked whether evolution had ever been observed. Said Dawkins, "Evolution has been observed. It's just that it hasn't been observed while it's happening." And for good reason. Unlike the testable, repeatable, and "publically observable" data of science founded on the Empirical & Scientific Method, all historical related "theories" are founded on "unobserved" and "unrepeatable" past events that supposedly happened over vast spans of time, ensuring there could never be any observers. As such, all historical based cosmological, biological and geological theories are ultimately based on purely SUBJECTIVE presuppositions, conjecture, inferences, and speculative "interpretations" of remains that, unlike archaeology, carry no given messages. With speculative "explanations" offered as to what the remains actually represent, and what they are all supposedly related to. The verbal semantics and mental gymnastics surrounding Darwinian theory have become so elastic that the theory is unfalsifiable, and therefore unscientific. Darwinism amounts to "explanations" based 'science'. And explanations based science is nothing more than scientism. No scientists can ever empirically establish that evolution happened a particular way, and no other way, or even whether it really ever happened at all. States H.S. Lipton, author of A Physicist Looks at Evolution, "In fact, evolution has become in a sense scientific religion: almost all scientists have accepted it, and many are prepared to 'bend' their observations to fit with it" Physics Bulletin, Vol. 31 May 1980. Concludes
Soren Lovtrup, author, Darwinism: Refutation of a Myth, “I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked as the greatest deceit on the history of science. When this happens many people will pose the question: How did this ever happen?:" Little wonder that a scientist like Dr Jonathan Sarfati suggests that Darwin's Theory of Evolution is The Greatest Hoax on Earth.
Engaging The Culture: Revelation
vs Relativism
Secular humanism is the reigning religion of our times, and is the default position for most of our movers and shakers. This talk will discuss what it is, how it came about, how it differs from biblical Christianity, and how we can protect ourselves from it. Key secular humanists and atheists will be assessed, and the importance of the biblical world view will be explained and illustrated.
Geology: Planet Earth - Dating Realities!
Geologists attempt to understand present geological events and phenomena based on direct observation. However, geology is largely a historical based discipline. It relates to UNOBSERVED "past" geological events. And as is the case with all historical based theories, geologists "subjectively interpret"geological remains, using various dating methods to determine age and suspected relationships. As with Darwinism, no scientist can ever empirically establish that geological events happened a particular way, and no other way, as there were no observers present to see what actually happened. There are hundreds of different dating methods. And these various dating methods tell a different story, and provide a different age. All dating methods have underlying inbuilt "presuppositions" and subjective "assumptions", largely based on old-earth unformitarianism This includes Radiometric dating itself, which has at least five underlying "assumptions". None of which can ever be verified by the by the Empirical & Scientific Method. Furthermore, the geological dating game is radically influenced by natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and volcanic activity. All of which drastically alter the ":assumptions" underlying old-earth dating and unformitarianism. Such assumptions have been further challenged as scientists observed the rapid decay of the human genome, and the discovery of fleshly residue on dinosaur bones, supposedly millions of years old. Do not miss this challenging scientific presentation! It will challenge assumptions you have long regarded as "rock solid."
Theology: Why Christ Changes Everything!
Jesus Christ has captured the attention and imagination of the world for around 2000 years, sufficient to change the basis of the worlds principle calendar. What is there about Jesus Christ, and the impact of the Jewish people, that distinguishes them from other people and nations. Why have the Jews survived for thousands of years as a people, to endure repeated conquest, and survive long exiles, to ultimately repossess Jerusalem and their ancient homeland, modern Israel. Why have they preserved and transmitted their sacred revelational manuscripts for thousands of years with unparalleled commitment, declaring them to be divinely revealed and inspired, revealing the plans and purpose of God. What is there about Jesus Christ Himself that has persuaded untold billions over countless centuries that His claims to divinity are well founded, And that the Gospel message centered on Christ's death, resurrection and redemptive "Grace" provides humanity with its only hope of redemption, and life beyond the grave.
Apologetics: Are you There God, How Can We Know?
From the moment that the first rays of light bathe the windows of our mind we become increasingly aware that we are part of a cosmic dimension of breathtaking magnitude and wonder. A universe with remarkable structure and stunning beauty. Containing fully functioning creatures of every kind. With vastly complex biological life forms conscious of their own existence. All of which fills us all with a sense of awe. It is also a decaying dying universe. Running down toward heat death and maximum entropy, or disorder. A world dominated by destructive natural disasters, where and pain, suffering and death surrounds us on every side. A world of genetic errors and decay, where baby's are born deformed, and disease and deadly microbes and creatures thrive and feed off each other. Why would any all powerful loving God create such a universe. Why would any almighty God allow such a ruthless and unfeeling universe to continue. And what is one to make of the repeated claims by atheists and skeptics that the God of Biblical revelation is an evil and ruthless tyrant. Resembling a midnight assassin that arbitrarily destroys individuals and whole nations. How can such a God be equated with with the sacrificial life and selfless love of Jesus Christ. Who claimed not only to be the incarnation of the living God, but the creator and sustainor of all that exists, or can exist. Discover why Christianity provides the ONLY answer to all these issues.
