Creation Speaks: Amazing Discoveries that Support the Bible

Join us on Tuesday, November 19th at 7:00pm (doors open at 6:30pm) for the Creation Education Museum's quarterly Creation Speaks speaker series. This event will be held at Hometown Baptist Church (4774 S. Hametown Road, Norton, OH, 44203) and feature Pastor Jim Scudder Jr. sharing on Amazing Discoveries that Support the Bible. Admission is FREE.

Some people have said the Bible is inaccurate in the areas of history and science. If this is true, the Bible’s teachings about life and eternity should not be trusted. In his talk, Pastor Jim Scudder Jr. will show that the Bible can absolutely be trusted, as he has interviewed many PhD experts in science and archaeology to uncover the truth on this critical topic. Through amazing discoveries in both science and archaeology, Pastor Scudder will present compelling evidence supporting the Bible’s accuracy.

This is the Creation Education Museum's last speaker series for the year, making it an unmissable opportunity to explore the intersection of faith, science, and history. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this talk will leave you with powerful insights that challenge assumptions and encourage thoughtful reflection. Don’t miss your chance to join us for this exciting and impactful event—bring the whole family!

One Human Family    with Dr. Al Gotch

One Human Family with Dr. Al Gotch

Are we all related? Recent DNA studies suggest that all humans are descended from a single point of origin. Based on the current genetic load, and the diversity factors that have produced mankind as we see it today, the conclusions about human life on the planet are fascinating and unexpected. Come and learn about the recent discoveries that have led researchers to understand that our arrival on the planet was relatively recent and despite what we consider to be stark differences – the variability between everyone on the planet is actually quite small. Could we all be part of the same human family, and how does this line up with the history found in the pages of the Bible?
