Could something as simple as a toxin be the death knell of evolution? That’s the question today for Kevin’s guest Dr. Olen Brown. Dr. Brown is an expert in toxicology and has an impressive resume of degrees and studies. If anyone is qualified to speak about how unscientific evolution is, it’s him.

Recently, Caleb Sampson, messaged me on Facebook and asked if I would be willing to get together and discuss some of the big issues that he and I disagree on. He attended Christian High but ending up transferring to a local public high school and graduated last year. He never took my apologetics class at Christian High. Many of the issues he brings up in this discussion are typical of students graduating from public high schools these days. Please pray for him. Equip your kids with answers at EducateForLife.org

Today on Educate For Life, Kevin will dive deep into the topic of racism and how it affects our culture. He takes on some of the misconceptions about racism.

Recently, the Texas Board of Education approved changes to their history textbooks that reference Moses as an influential person in American history. Outrage from atheists and freedom from religion groups quickly followed. They claim that the Board can’t include the reference because it espouses a particular religion. But are they right? Today on Educate For Life, Kevin will talk about how the Board defended its position on keeping Moses in American History textbooks. Does the First Amendment prevent any public reference to a particular religion? Where the founding fathers Christian? Does America have a Christian foundation?

Is America a Christian Nation? Is it different from any other country in the world? In today’s culture, these two questions are being hotly debated. Today on Educate For Life Kevin will dig into some facts that will help you answer these questions. Brazil has had 7 Constitutions since 1822. Poland has had 6 constitutions since 1921. Afghanistan has had 5 constitutions since 1923. Russia has had 4 constitutions since 1918. France is currently on its 15th constitution. America has used the same Constitution for over 200 years. That is more than any other nation on earth. Why is that? Could it possibly be because it contains Biblical principles that make it exceptionally strong? A majority of the founding fathers believed in the Bible. When framing the Constitution they quoted and referenced the Bible and other writings that also referenced the Bible. One of the most reference writings for the Constitution was “The Two Treatises of Government” by John Locke. In that document, he references the Bible an astounding 1500 times! Join Kevin for an informative episode that will help you know the answers to these questions. This episode first aired on September 15, 2018.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as guests Pastor Howard Brown, Luke Gibson, and Steven Roberts. Pastor Howard is with the East County Transitional Living Center. The East County Transitional Living Center helps people living on the street get back into life by helping them beat addictions and overcome difficult life situations. Steve has been through the program and will share his amazing journey and testimony. Luke Gibson is a business owner who helps ECTLC by hiring people in the program and giving them valuable work experience. The story began over 15 years ago as a group of businessmen and a small church began to transform not only an old motel but thousands of homeless men, women, and children. Many of the larger churches in the county, the Southern Baptist Association, and the City of El Cajon all came together to develop one of the most successful transitional living centers in the country. The story continues as you now consider becoming a part of providing an additional 40 rooms for homeless families. Today in San Diego County hundreds of families are sleeping in their cars and are waiting for a room to open so that they too would experience the transformational change that is offered here at ECTLC. Join them and become a part of that story by donating your time, talent, and or treasure to this great work that is happening right here in San Diego. ECTLC plans to expand its outreach by building two dormitory-style buildings and remodeling 40 of its existing rooms opening the door for 40 to 50 new families and possibly 100 children. No child in the USA should have to sleep in a car or under an overpass. Won’t you help them to provide a hand up and guidance back into safe and healthy living conditions? Your donation no matter how large or small will help us to achieve our goals this year. Tune in for an inspiring show and learn how you can be part of this important organization.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Jon Erwin. Jon Erwin is the co-writer and director of a new movie called “I Can Only Imagine” based on the hit song by the Christian band MercyMe. It’s the song that brings ultimate hope to so many … often in the midst of life’s most challenging moments. Amazingly, the song was written in mere minutes by MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard. In reality, those lyrics took a lifetime to craft. Although he found faith at a young age, life wasn’t easy for Bart. He leaned into an active imagination and his love of music as escapes from troubled home life. As he grew older, Bart turned to football in hopes of somehow connecting with his abusive father. But a career-ending injury—combined with the vision of a teacher who saw unlimited potential—set Bart on a musical pathway. Chasing a dream while running from broken relationships with his father and Shannon, his childhood sweetheart, Bart hits the road in an old, decrepit tour bus with his new band MercyMe—named for his grandmother’s favorite expression. With the guidance of a grizzled music-industry insider, the band begins a journey none of them could ever have imagined. A gripping reminder of the power of forgiveness, “I CAN ONLY IMAGINE” beautifully illustrates that no one is ever too far from God’s love—or from an eternal home in Heaven.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Read Trial & Error by ADF General Counsel, Alan Sears: http://amzn.to/2tEqTy0 In this sequel to Alan Sear’s novel, “In Justice”, we get a chilling glimpse of what tomorrow may look like in America, and across the globe, if religious freedom is not vigorously defended. Imagine if you or someone you know lost their job or business because of their point of view. Imagine if they were being pressured to endorse a view they disagreed with and they got fired because they refused to cave. This is exactly what happened to our guests Blaine Adamson and David Jones. Today on Educate For Life, Kevin talks to two people who have been targeted because of their beliefs on one issue. Blaine Adamson is a printer in Kentucky who was sued for declining to print shirts endorsing a gay pride event. He and his attorney, Jim Campbell, will describe what happened in his case and how they argued that no one should be forced to endorse a view they don’t agree with. You will also hear the story of David Jones. David was a teacher in the San Diego area who was fired. David was being pressured to call one of his female students a boy. But because of his Christian beliefs, he concluded that doing so would violate his conscience. Not only was he being told he had to call a girl a boy, but he was also told he basically had to lie about the issue to the girl’s parents. The school eventually fired him because he refused to deny what he knows is the truth. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear how real people’s lives are being seriously affected simply by what their worldview is. Should people be forced to endorse messages they morally disagree with? Are these people being unloving and intolerant by not endorsing views that are contrary to their beliefs? Tune in to find out. This episode first aired on June 24, 2017.

Kevin will drill down to the important facts. What factors are contributing to climate change? Can we do anything to mitigate climate change? Are we headed for another ice age? How many ice ages have there been? Our guest Mike Oard will help answer these important questions. Michael has a Masters Science degree in Atmospheric Science from the University of Washington and is now retired after working as a meteorologist with the US National Weather Service for 30 years. He has researched and speaks on the compelling evidence for Noah’s Flood and the Ice Age that followed, and how the incredible wooly mammoth connects to biblical history. Michael has published many papers in his field in widely recognized journals and has written An Ice Age Caused by the Genesis Flood, Ancient Ice Ages or Gigantic Submarine Landslides?, The Missoula Flood Controversy and the Genesis Flood and The Frozen Record. He is also author of Frozen in Time, The Weather Book and Life in the Great Ice Age. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear what science actually says about climate change. Mike will demonstrate how the current models for predicting the course of climate change are flawed. He believes that the observed effects of climate change are far less dire than computer models make it out to be. This episode first aired on July 1, 2017.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Fantastic book by Dr. Jake Hebert on the ice age and the flood http://amzn.to/2sVlup9 Global warming is a hot topic in today’s political and scientific sphere. Some say if we don’t stabilize our climate now, we will soon see cataclysmic weather events and even cause another ice age. Others say our climate is self-regulating and will withstand any effects man may have on it. Both sides claim to have rock-solid scientific evidence to back up their theories and today on Educate For Life, Kevin will examine the evidence. He is joined by guest Dr. Jake Hebert. Dr. Jake Hebert is a physicist who has studied factors that affect the environment. He has also written a book that examines how the ice age occurred in light of a Biblical Flood. He believes that a person’s view on this issue depends on your worldview, more specifically whether you accept an old earth view or a young earth view. According to his research, the ice age was a one-time event caused by things far beyond man’s control. He has also done important research on the Milankovich Theory, which has fueled the current debate over climate change. He has found serious flaws in the theory that could turn the debate on its head. Want to hear about these serious flaws and learn how climate change is explained by the Bible? Tune in to Educate For Life. If you want to read Dr. Hebert’s research for yourself, you can find it on http://icr.org, http://creation.com, and http://answersingenesis.org.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Educate your kids about sexuality the right way, read The Talk: 7 Lessons to Introduce Your Child to Biblical Sexuality http://amzn.to/2u84dcz If your child is attending school, they will eventually be taking a sex education class. If you’re a parent, you may soon need to have that “talk” to answer any questions your child now has about sex. But soon, you may have to be more concerned about the content being taught in these classes and the type of homework they will be bringing home. Today on Kevin’s show we have two guests to talk about this delicate topic. Ashley Bever is a concerned parent who has seen the new California sex-ed curriculum first hand. She is alarmed by what she has seen. Starting in the 6th grade, students will be given access to pornographic materials. In addition, they will be taught that having sex at any age, with anyone, at any time is perfectly healthy. Not only is this material age-inappropriate, but it also flies in the face of what is medically appropriate. Our other guest is Dean Broyles, an attorney who works with the American Center for Law and Justice. He understands how the laws about sex education are written in California. He believes that this new curriculum being pushed by a liberal group called “Advocates For Youth” is twisting the law and using it to bully schools and parents into adopting this appalling curriculum. Tune in to hear important details about this new curriculum. You may be shocked by what you are about to hear. If you want to take action and help prevent this curriculum from being implemented in your school you can visit http://change.org, search for SDUSD and sign the petition found there.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Read the real-life story of Dr. Andrew Doan's addiction to video games that almost destroyed his life, and how he recovered in Hooked on Games: The Lure and Cost of Video Game and Internet Addiction http://amzn.to/2u1DfTd Video games are everywhere. They are available on our phones, computers, and tablets. Maybe you play for fun or use it to bribe your kids to do their chores. But you may not realize how much they are affecting you or perhaps how it is affecting your kids. Today on the show we have Julie Doan, an emerging expert in the field of video game addiction. She partners in this field with her husband, Dr. Doan, who was once a game addict himself. She will share surprising stats and practical ways that will help you and your family become unhooked from games. A national, cross-sectional study at Iowa State University of 1178 children ages eight to eighteen showed that 8.5% of the children demonstrated behaviors of addiction similar to other behavioral addictions like pathologic gambling. The kids addicted to video games demonstrated lower grades in school, attention problems, and other health problems. The video game addiction rate is between 8% and 12% worldwide based on research by several research groups and Douglas Gentile, Ph.D. The problem is, as a society in general, we are not educated about the long-term mental and health risks of video game addiction. Video games are free and available everywhere, and people are unaware of the one in ten who can and will be addicted to video games. The video game addict destroys his or her life and the lives of the people they love. It's time our society understands this addiction, prevents it, and helps the one in ten who are addicted to video games. Tune in to hear more about this important subject.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org For more information, check out No Child Left Alone: Getting the Government Out of Parenting http://amzn.to/2u1LdLJ Today on Educate For Life Radio, Kevin has California Senator Joel Anderson. Senator Anderson has served four years in the State Assembly and four years in the State Senate. After four years of service in the State Assembly and four years of service in the State Senate, in 2014 Senator Anderson was re-elected to represent San Diego county for a second term in the Senate. When first elected to the Assembly, he promised his constituents, "I am not going to Sacramento to be a potted plant." Senator Anderson is here to sound the warning bell about Senate Bill 18. Known as the Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of California, it resolves to invest in all children and youth in order to achieve specified goals, including having safe and healthy environments. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations relating to the needs and well-being of children and youth in California. The bill would create, until November 30, 2024, the Joint Legislative Committee on Children and Youth, with 18 members appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules and the Speaker of the Assembly, as specified. The bill would require the committee to develop “California’s Promise to its Children and Youth,” a framework for the care and welfare of children and youth in various contexts, including, but not limited to, health care, nutrition, homeless assistance, education, and foster care, as specified. The bill would require the committee to consider an unspecified Senate Concurrent Resolution, the Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of California, if it is enacted and takes effect on or before January 1, 2018, for purposes of developing the framework. On the surface, this may not sound bad, but Senator Joel Anderson believes this bill provides the framework for parental rights to be taken from parents and given to the state. Much of the text of the bill is vague and open to subjective interpretation. This bill would allow the state to impose arbitrary rules about the proper care of a child in nearly every area of life imaginable. Imagine if CPS knocked on your door and took away your child because the State decided that you were not providing your child with “appropriate” nutrition because he or she had a soda with lunch? Tune in to hear Senator Anderson make his case against this bill. If you would like to read the bill yourself, you can go to https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB18. If you would like to sign a petition to stop this bill from being enacted, you can visit http://anderson.cssrc.us/. This episode first aired on April 15, 2017.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Get the whole story from the man who launched the first US satellite into space, America's Leap Into Space: My Time at JPL and the First Explorer Satellites http://amzn.to/2txxY4Z Space. The final frontier. Besides being the backdrop for a great Sci-Fi TV show, it is the subject of today’s show. Kevin Conover’s guest is Dr. Henry Richter, who helped put the first American satellite into space. Henry was picked to oversee the development of America’s first earth satellite, Explorer I. Henry says he lobbied to get Dr. James Van Allen’s package (a Geiger counter) on the satellite. This led to the discovery of the Van Allen Radiation Belts, which influence things from radio communications to the strength of the northern and southern auroras. The results from the Van Allen instrument were at first puzzling, largely because the instrument was saturated with the unexpectedly high levels of radiation surrounding the earth. Also, it was not until Explorer III that they had a tape recording of an entire orbit. Dr. Henry Richter became a Christian later in life. He says, “I was a busy churchman, but I sure didn’t like the name ‘Christian’. As the chairman of the board of a big, name-brand church, I told them that as long as I was in charge we weren’t going to get one of the born-again Christians here!” It was mainly through the influence of a former secretary (who became his wife), who seemed to have a deeper walk than most ‘religious’ people he knew, that he began to seek answers to the more meaningful questions, finally becoming a born-again Christian himself in 1969. “Yet for a long time I believed that God used evolution to put it all together, but that’s just not possible.” Concerning the big bang theory and man’s attempts to explain the universe without a Creator, he said, “The big bang and evolution is one of the biggest adult fairytales I can imagine.” This goes along with his book, The Universe: a surprising cosmological accident, currently under revision.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Get educated on dinosaurs, fossils, and the flood in Dinosaur Challenges and Mysteries: How the Genesis Flood makes sense of dinosaur evidence—including tracks, nests, eggs, and scavenged bones http://amzn.to/2u1VkAg Fossils are the preserved remains of creatures that lived long ago. But, just how long ago? According to evolutionary theory, the fossil record shows how life evolved over millions of years. According to the creation account, the fossil record was formed quickly during a worldwide flood. It would have buried sea creatures first and then eventually land creatures as well, accounting for the order we see in the fossil record. Earth only had one history, so which theory is correct? Kevin’s guest on the show today is Dr. Marcus Ross. Dr. Ross is a paleontologist who teaches at Liberty University. Marcus Ross has loved paleontology (especially dinosaurs) since he was a kid growing up in Rhode Island. He has continued pursuing this passion, currently researching a group of extinct marine reptiles called mosasaurs. He is greatly interested in issues surrounding the creation-evolution controversy and the intersection of geology with the Biblical events of creation and Noah's Flood. Dr. Ross believes that the evidence from geology and paleontology points to the truth of the creation account and the event of a worldwide flood and he’s here to tell you why. Tune in for this information-packed show and learn about the supporting evidence for the biblical accounts of creation and the flood. This episode first aired on March 25, 2017.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Are the stories of the Bible history, or mythology? The science of archaeology can help to provide the answer. This week Kevin speaks with Dr. Scott Stripling (a returning guest) and Dr. Bryant Wood, archeologists with the Associates for Biblical Research (ABR). They discuss some exciting new archeological finds, including the signet ring of King Hezekiah (the same Hezekiah who had a 533-meter-long tunnel constructed under Jerusalem). The three of them also discuss a compelling new documentary that Dr. Wood was involved in: Patterns of Evidence: Exodus. This film, created by Tim Mahoney, explores the evidence for Israel’s arrival, prosperity, enslavement, and exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Although there is abundant archaeological data supporting the biblical account, secular historians write it off as appearing far too early to match up with the rest of ancient history. But could it be that the archaeological establishment has erred in its chronology of ancient Egyptian history?
