Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Scientific advancement is making it harder and harder to believe in evolution. Kevin’s guest this week is Dr. Jeffrey Tomkins, Research Associate in the field of Genetics at the Institute for Creation Research. Dr. Tomkins is a living refutation of a common evolutionary claim, which states that the only reason anyone believes Creationism is because they were raised in it by their parents. Dr. Tomkins was in fact indoctrinated from a young age—but into evolution, not creation. He became a born-again Christian while in college, and realized he would have to reconcile his spiritual beliefs with his scientific ones. After recognizing quickly that attempts to reconcile biblical teachings with evolution are futile, he read Scientific Creationism by Dr. Henry Morris and saw how well it harmonized scientific findings with the Bible. As Dr. Tomkins continued his academic career (going on to earn a Ph.D. in genetics), everything he learned confirmed his biblical beliefs rather than contradicting them. In 2009 he joined up with ICR, one of the world’s foremost Creationist research organizations. Kevin and Dr. Tomkins discuss evidence from the field of genetics that supports belief in God and the Bible. This includes “mitochondrial Eve,” the female ancestor to modern humans implied by mitochondrial DNA, who is thought to have lived only 5-7,000 years ago. Similarly, studies of the protein-coding “exome regions” of the human genome have provided a timeframe of only about 5-10,000 years. Ultimately, as the field of genetics advances scientists are realizing that a) the human genome is unfathomably complex, b) it is continually deteriorating rather than improving, and c) there is no possible unintelligent evolutionary mechanism that can explain its origin. This branch of biology provides even more reason to believe that God, not evolution, is our Creator. “The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.” —Genesis 3:20

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Kevin speaks once again with Dr. David Levy, neurosurgeon, and author of Gray Matter. This week Dr. Levy shares more of his professional and personal insights into the human brain, taking a deeper look at some of the mind's quirks and how to stay mentally healthy. Have you ever wondered why you always feel a little better when there's some sort of background noise, whether it's the radio on the way to work or the TV when you're home alone? Have you ever felt that there must be something wrong with you since you always dwell more on the negatives of life more than the positive? Do you find that you are compassionate towards others when they make mistakes, yet extremely hard on yourself when you do? If you can relate to any of these, you are certainly not alone. Dr. Levy talks about how these and other psychological phenomena are typical of humans, yet can present serious threats to our relationships with both God and our fellow man. He presents a plan of action to restore a proper frame of mind, by taking breaks from electronic distractions and meditating on the Word of God. Both the Bible and modern science testify that the things we put into our brain, and the ideas to which we choose to devote precious attention, will have a tremendous impact on our psychological, spiritual, and even physical health. To learn more about Dr. Levy, visit his website at http://DrDLevy.com. You can also view these articles he wrote on why he prays with patients (http://educateforlife.org/praying-with-patients/), and how to deal with anger towards God(http://educateforlife.org/releasing-anger-with-god/). "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." –Romans 12:2 This episode first aired on September 6th, 2015.

Climate change is a big topic today and is hotly debated. It has been held responsible for hurricanes, tornadoes, and the ice age. Mainstream scientists believe it has been responsible for a series of ice ages over millions of years. In fact, they warn that if we're not careful about what we do with the environment, another ice age will be triggered causing a worldwide catastrophe. But are they right? How many ice ages have there been? How volatile is our environment currently? Today on Kevin's show we have two experts that have been studying this very topic. They will share how much environmental science has been influenced by the worldview of the scientists doing the research. Dr. Jason Lisle and Dr. Jake Hebert will share exciting research that supports a biblical view of science and a single ice age caused by a worldwide flood. Dr. Hebert is a research associate at the Institute for Creation Research. He joined ICR in 2011 as a research associate and focuses much of his work on climates before and after Noah’s Flood, among other research endeavors. He earned a master’s degree in physics in 1999 from Texas A&M University, where he studied optics and was a Dean’s Graduate Fellow from 1995-1996. He received his Ph.D. in 2011 from the University of Texas at Dallas, where his research involved a study of the possible connection between fair-weather atmospheric electricity and weather and climate. Dr. Jason Lisle is the Director of Physical Sciences and the Institute for Creation Research and leads ICR’s gifted team of physical scientists who continue to investigate and demonstrate the evidence for creation. He graduated summa cum laude from Ohio Wesleyan University where he double-majored in physics and astronomy and minored in mathematics. He earned a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in astrophysics at the University of Colorado. Dr. Lisle specialized in solar astrophysics and has made a number of scientific discoveries regarding the solar photosphere and has contributed to the field of general relativity. These two experts will share their wealth of knowledge today on Kevin's show and will share evidence that supports a biblical ice age. You will also learn just how much science is influenced by the worldview of the scientist. Tune in for an exciting, informative show. If you want to learn more about Dr. Lisle and Dr. Hebert and the research they're involved in, you can visit icr.org. This episode first aired on October 1, 2016.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Watch the movie - Is Genesis History with Del Tackett http://amzn.to/2sUWGO4 Today on the show Kevin has two amazing experts, Dr. Del Tackett and Dr. Andrew Snelling, to talk about an exciting new movie called “Is Genesis History”. Is Genesis History? is a comprehensive documentary featuring scientists and scholars looking at the world and explaining how it intersects with the history recorded in Genesis. From rock layers to fossils to lions to stars, this fascinating film will challenge and change the way you see the world. Showing in theaters as a one-night event on Thursday, February 23 only (tickets at http://www.fathomevents.com/event/is-genesis-history), Is Genesis History? shines new light on our origins, providing a positive argument for Biblical Creation and the Flood. Dr. Del Tackett, the creator of “The Truth Project,” serves as your guide—hiking through canyons, climbing up mountains, and diving below the sea—in an exploration of two competing views … one compelling truth. Dr. Del Tackett is the former president of the Focus on the Family Institute and a former Senior Vice President of Focus on the Family. He is also the creator of Focus on the Family's The Truth Project—a nationwide initiative designed to bring the Christian worldview to the body of Christ. He’s here on the show today to talk about his role in the new movie and to share some of the amazing evidence that has been found. Dr. Andrew Snelling will follow up with more evidence from Geology. Dr. Andrew Snelling has been involved in extensive creationist research in Australia and overseas, including the formation of all types of mineral deposits, radioactivity in rocks and radioisotopic dating, and the formation of metamorphic and igneous rocks, sedimentary strata, and landscape features (e.g. Grand Canyon, USA, and Ayers Rock, Australia) within the biblical framework for earth history. As well as writing regularly and extensively in international creationist publications, Andrew has traveled around Australia and widely overseas (USA, UK, New Zealand, South Africa, Korea, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China) speaking in schools, churches, colleges, and universities, particularly on the overwhelming scientific evidence consistent with the biblical account of Creation and Noah’s Flood.

The Truth Behind Radioisotope Dating

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Kevin talks to astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle, not just about evidence for biblical creation, but about the even more foundational issue of worldview. Dr. Lisle explains that those who reject God have a bigger problem than evidence: they don’t even have a viable framework in which to interpret the evidence correctly. All of the knowledge modern people take for granted, from the laws of logic to the advances of science, are based on assumptions that are only valid in a theistic universe: that all of reality is consistent, that the future will be like the past, etc. Dr. Lisle admits that all people, himself included, have problems to deal with in their worldview—but having good reasons for the worldview itself is key. In the final segment, Kevin and Dr. Lisle talk about specific evidence that fits within the worldview of biblical creation, but cannot be reconciled with the prevailing secular view: from the decay of Earth’s magnetic field, to the moon’s increasing distance from the earth, to the faint young sun paradox.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Are the stories recorded in the Bible real history, or just mythology? There’s only one way to know for sure: through biblical archaeology. This week Kevin talks with archaeologist Dr. Scott Stripling of the Associates for Biblical Research, author of The Trowel and the Truth. Dr. Stripling grew up in a Christian home, hearing the stories of the Bible from his mother. He became an avid Bible reader in his teen years, but was perplexed by the huge cultural divide between the biblical text and modern day readers such as himself. His desire to better understand the historical context of the Bible led him to study archaeology, and he went on to earn his Doctorate in Ministry with an emphasis in Ancient Near Eastern archaeology. Today Dr. Stripling is the director of ABR’s excavation in Khirbet el-Maqatir, located 9 miles north of Jerusalem in the disputed territory of Security Zone C. Though excavation only takes place five weeks out of the year, his team has made many discoveries that verify biblical history. Dr. Stripling tells Kevin about some of the most significant of these finds, such as an Egyptian scarab that helps to verify biblical accounts of Israel’s exodus and the conquest of Canaan. Christianity is not a religion of mythology and blind faith; biblical events really happened, and the evidence is out there. Some of it still needs to be unearthed, and the Associates for Biblical Research are doing just that. You can support their archeological mission to show the truth of the Bible at BibleArchaeology.org, and even volunteer to participate in a dig yourself!

But, there are those who not only want to forget history, they want to rewrite it. Today on EFL Radio, we have Dr. David Barton who is better known as America’s Historian. David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization that presents America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious and constitutional heritage. David is the author of numerous best-selling books, with the subjects being drawn largely from his massive library of tens of thousands of original writings from the Founding Era. He also addresses well over 400 groups each year. Kevin and David Barton will be discussing and debunking popular myths surrounding America’s early history and its founding fathers. One of the most attacked and vilified is Thomas Jefferson. Did he really decide to rewrite the Bible to remove the parts he didn’t like? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to find out!

California is back in the purple tier because of a rise in Corona Virus cases. That means many restrictions are back in place. Restaurants can only serve meals outside, businesses can only operate at 25% capacity and kids must continue remote learning. What about churches? Where does God fit into these restrictions? Today on Educate For Life, Pastor Jack Hibbs is here to describe how the Church plays a vital role in these troubling times. Pastor Jack Hibbs is passionate about life! This passion comes out of his deep understanding that God, who came to earth in human skin, has through Jesus Christ provided the way, the truth, and the life. Our relationship with God, broken because of our sin, can be restored through Him. Jesus said He came to give us an "abundant" life. That's real life done God's way! Our relationship with Christ and His instructions about the Christian life should impact every area of our being. That's right! God's Word -- the Bible -- speaks to the real life issues we all face. Depression. Joy. Suffering. Forgiveness. Peace. Fulfillment. Tune in for a great show of hope! This episode first aired on Nov 6th, 2020 Educate For Life with Kevin Conover airs Sundays 10-11pm.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Learn all about Chemistry from a Christian worldview http://amzn.to/2tYojoZ How many times have you heard it said that virtually all scientists agree on the scientific validity of evolution? Not so! Kevin's guest on the show today is Dr. James Tour. He is a Bible-believing Christian who has serious doubts about evolutionary theory as it is today, not because of his faith, but because of science. Dr. James Tour, a synthetic organic chemist, received his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from Syracuse University, his Ph.D. in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry from Purdue University, and postdoctoral training in synthetic organic chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and Stanford University. After spending 11 years on the faculty of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina, he joined the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice University in 1999 where he is presently the T. T. and W. F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Computer Science, and Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering. Tour’s scientific research areas include nanoelectronics, graphene electronics, silicon oxide electronics, and many other chemical and molecular technologies such as nanomachines which include molecular motors and nano cars. Tour has over 600 research publications and over 120 patents, with total citations over 69,000 (Google Scholar). Tour was named among “The 50 Most Influential Scientists in the World Today” by TheBestSchools.org in 2014, listed in “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” by Thomson Reuters ScienceWatch.com in 2014 and recipient of the Trotter Prize in “Information, Complexity and Inference” in 2014. Tour was also named “Scientist of the Year” by R&D Magazine in 2013. This is a show that you don't want to miss. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear the knowledge that Dr. Tour has to share about evolution and find out why he believes science refutes evolution.

In about 30 A.D., Jesus Christ was crucified. Three days later he rose from the dead. The only evidence? The recorded writings of his followers. Is it possible to solve this cold case nearly 2,000 years later and determine whether or not it’s true? Kevin’s guest, J. Warner Wallace believes so. J. Warner Wallace is a Dateline featured cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker, and best-selling author. He continues to consult on cold-case investigations while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. He is also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola University and a faculty member at Summit Ministries. J. Warner became a Christ-follower at the age of thirty-five after investigating the claims of the New Testament gospels using his skill set as a detective. He eventually earned a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. J. Warner has appeared on television and radio, explaining the role that evidence plays in the Christian definition of “faith” and defending the historicity of Jesus, the reliability of the Bible, and the truth of the Christian worldview. Jim also speaks at churches, retreats, and camps as he seeks to help people become confident Christian case makers. J. Warner’s book, Cold-Case Christianity, provides readers with ten principles of cold case investigations and utilizes these principles to examine the reliability of the gospel eyewitness accounts. In God’s Crime Scene, he investigates eight pieces of evidence in the universe to make the case for God’s existence. In Forensic Faith, J. Warner makes the case for a more reasonable, evidential Christian faith. If anyone can make a case for the reasonableness of Christianity, it is J. Warner Wallace. Tune in for a great episode and learn how a former atheist and cold-case detective came to the conclusion that Jesus is for real.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Suicide is the second leading cause of death for those aged 10 to 24. Every day in the U.S. an average of over 3,470 people attempt suicide. These statistics are staggering and tragic. Why are so many considering and even attempting suicide? Is there anything we can do to reduce these numbers? Today on Educate For Life Kevin has as his guest, Ray Comfort. Ray Comfort is the Founder/President/CEO of Living Waters Publications. Ray Comfort is a well-known evangelist and apologist. After relocating from New Zealand to Southern California in the late 1980s, Ray introduced a long line of pastors and churches to a biblical teaching which he called Hell's Best Kept Secret. The positive and enthusiastic response that followed took Ray’s Living Waters Publications ministry to a whole new level. Ray Comfort has produced several movies speaking to the truth of God and the Bible, including his newest film, Exit: The Appeal of Suicide. In this movie, he explores depression, its sources, and why so many see suicide as the only way out. If you or someone you know is suffering from depression, please toon in and share this show.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org A great ideological chasm exists between the godlessness of Hollywood and the convictions of Christianity. How can believers bridge that gap to make a difference in the entertainment industry? Kevin talks with Dr. Larry Poland, who has had the rare privilege of ministering directly to the industry’s top executives for over 30 years. From his extensive experience, Dr. Poland shares what what works and what doesn’t when it comes to Christians expressing their concerns about movies and television. Dr. Poland explains that anger-fueled protests are just what the industry leaders expect from the Christian community—and it doesn’t phase them. Rather than inspire them to take the feelings of millions of Christian consumers into consideration, this type of reaction only confirms their belief that Christians are generally irrational, hateful people. But there is one response that does make a difference: unconditional love. As Dr. Poland states, this is the offense for which there is no defense. The entertainment industry is led by powerful people who have a great influence on society, but they are ultimately human beings who need to be reached with the love of Jesus Christ just as much as anyone else. You can learn more about Dr. Poland’s perspectives on this critical issue at his website, MasterMediaIntl.org, and in his recent book Chasm: Crossing the Divide Between Hollywood and People of Faith.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Kevin continues the discussion on the resurrection of Jesus, this time with two guests from opposing positions: Christian apologist Dr. Sean McDowell and atheist Sean Taylor. Sean McDowell grew up in the home of eminent Christian apologist and author Joshua McDowell. As a young adult he began to explore religious questions for himself to come to his own answer. He is currently a professor at Biola University. Sean Taylor grew up in a non-religious home, and despite extensive exposure to Christian and Mormon ideas as a young man, never came to belief in any god. He currently identifies as an atheist, but has not done any personal research into the life of Jesus Christ. Kevin moderates as Taylor states his concerns about the biblical account, and Dr. McDowell answers with historical evidence. They discuss issues from the variations in gospel accounts to the reliability of Jesus' reported appearances. Even if it is established that Jesus was real, is there any way of connecting the historical person to the supernatural claims? As Dr. McDowell shows, the evidence says yes.

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?

The Nephilim are mentioned three times in the Bible. There is a lot of mystery surrounding who or what they were. Some theories claim that they are aliens. They point to the root word in Hebrew which means “fallen one” meaning they fell from the sky. However, that may not be accurate. The true root word may be an Aramaic term that simply means “giant”. Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Tim Chaffey. Tim Chaffey has written the book, literally, on the subject. It is called “Fallen: The Sons of God and the Nephilim”. Genesis 6 introduces two of the most mysterious groups in all of Scripture: the sons of God and the Nephilim (or giants). Scholars have been divided over this issue since the early days of the church. Were the sons of God really fallen angels that married women or were they something else? Were the Nephilim the offspring of the unions between the sons of God and women or were they already around prior to these marriages? Why were they on the earth again after the Flood? Find out the truth about two of the greatest mysteries in Scripture as Tim clears up the misconceptions and presents one of the most detailed and scholarly studies ever done on this subject. You may never look at the Old Testament the same way again. Tune in for a great episode that unpacks a biblical mystery and sheds light on the subject.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Not long ago, the debate between creation and evolution was almost entirely one-sided—at least in the scientific sense. Although Christians long opposed the evolutionary explanation of life on Scriptural grounds, they had no answers to any of the scientific arguments. That is, until Dr. Henry Morris published The Genesis Flood in 1961. This book became, as Dr. Steven Jay Gould commented, the "founding document of creationism," and Dr. Morris the founder of the modern scientific creationist movement. In this episode Kevin talks with Dr. Morris' son, Dr. Henry Morris III, about his father's legacy, the ongoing success of the Institute for Creation Research, and other issues relating to creationism. They discuss current creation research projects, the future and challenges of creationism in the church, and more.

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.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Back in June 2008, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed the Louisiana Science Education Act into law, allowing public school science teachers to include information about Creationism in their lessons. In May 2015, he announced that he was launching an exploratory committee to determine whether he will be making a bid for the presidency in 2016. According to one Slate writer, the connection between these two events is clear: though Governor Jindal majored in biology at Brown University (and therefore knows better), he decided to abandon real science and embrace Creationism to gain support from conservatives and advance his political career. To many people, it’s as simple as that: if you aren’t stupid or ignorant enough to actually fall for Creationism (which Governor Jindal can’t be, given his education), then you must only be pretending to believe it due to ulterior motives. But is it possible that a person’s decision to move from evolution to Creationism could be an intellectually honest one, based on sound evidence? That’s exactly what happened to Dr. John C. Sanford, PhD geneticist and Cornell University professor, who rejected evolution after spending decades at the top of his field. He reasons for doing so are detailed in his excellent book Genetic Entropy. This week Kevin takes a look at the inescapable genetic evidence for Creationism as explained by Dr. Sanford. If Creationists are the dogmatic ones, why do proponents of evolution go to such great lengths to prevent alternate ideas from getting any public hearing? This episode first aired on May 24th, 2015.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Thomas Purifoy. Thomas Purifoy is the producer of “Is Genesis History?”, and movie all about determining whether Genesis can be proven to be actual history or a series of mere legends. Is Genesis History? features over a dozen scientists and scholars explaining how the world intersects with the history recorded in Genesis. From rock layers to fossils, from lions to stars, from the Bible to artifacts, this fascinating film will change the way you see the world. The film’s goal is to provide a reasonable case for Creation in six normal days, a real Adam and Eve, an actual fall, a global flood, and a tower of Babel. Dr. Del Tackett, creator of “The Truth Project,” serves as your guide—hiking through canyons, climbing up mountains, and diving below the sea—in an exploration of two competing views … one compelling truth. If you want to learn more about the movie and the experts involved in making the film, check out IsGenesisHistory.com. You can also purchase the movie either on DVD or download and stream it.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Do you really have to turn off your brain to believe the Bible? It is a common myth that science and the Bible have always been in conflict, and the case of Galileo is often cited as proof. But not only is Galileo’s story misinterpreted to fit this agenda (see below for an explanation); there are numerous examples of the Bible being surprisingly consistent with, or even ahead of, scientific knowledge. In this episode, Kevin goes over some of these examples to show that in reality, science the Bible are best friends forever. What accurate scientific information can be found in the Bible? For one, it acknowledges that the earth is resting on nothing (Job 26:7; yes it is supported by the invisible force of gravity, but it is not held up by any physical object). It states that the heavens are stretching out (Psalm 104:2 among others, in line with the expansion of the universe), and that all of creation is wearing out and will one day pass away (Psalm 102:25-27, in line with the laws of thermodynamics). The Bible has also recognized significant medical principles, such as the fact that “the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11; contrary to the once-scientific practice of bloodletting), the importance of washing the body and the hands (Leviticus 14:8-9 and others), and the practice of quarantining those with infectious diseases (Leviticus 13). As Kevin demonstrates throughout the episode, Christians do not have to worry about whether science or the Bible is true; the Bible has repeatedly been vindicated, once science catches up to it.

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.

The Deep State. Some say it is a conspiracy theory, while others fully believe in its existence. It’s hard to cut through the noise and determine what is fact and what is fiction. So is anything having to do with the deep state fact? What significance if anything does it have? Does the Bible have anything to say about it? Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Alex Newman. Alex Newman is an award-winning international journalist, educator, author, and consultant. Alex has written for a wide array of publications in the United States and abroad. He currently serves as a contributor to The Epoch Times, WND (World Net Daily), FreedomProject Media, The New American magazine, the Law Enforcement Intelligence Brief, and more. Alex Newman has studied the Deep State for over 12 years. He has delved into the history and facts of the Deep State, a group of politicians, bureaucrats, and other government officials that use their influence and power to enact policies to gain even more influence and power. Alex sees a biblical connection when it comes to prophecies concerning the End Times and the governmental system of the Antichrist. You don’t want to miss this episode.
