FAQs of Origins (Fellowship Hall)
Dr. Rich Overman, a Creation Scientist for over 30 years, answers the most frequently asked questions about origins. However, FAQs can also be read as FACTS, so the presentation not only provides answers but also the facts behind those answers. In the beginning, Dr. Overman provides a scientific foundation for the universe being created by a transcendent God and a scientific refutation of the idea that the universe was created by a nature-god. This is followed by the facts regarding the age of the earth, dinosaurs, races of people, human “evolution”, fossils, etc. (geared for middle school aged students to adults)
Speaker: Rich Overman

It’s a Young Earth After All (Fellowship Hall)
The age of the earth is, in my opinion, probably the most fundamental and definitive of the issues. The bottom line is that a straightforward reading of scripture leads to the conclusion that God created everything in six solar days about six thousand years ago. Evolutionists tell us that the earth is billions of years old. Both cannot be true. Let’s see if science gives us a reason to doubt scripture. This is an in-depth look at the issues around the age of the earth.
Speaker: Rich Overman

Milling Real Whole Wheat Flour and Baking With It (Fellowship Hall)
Kim is passionate about nutrition and feels that good sleep, regular exercise and eating food as close to the way God created it are very important ways to help a homeschool family thrive.
Earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from the University of South Alabama and a Master of Science Degree in Nursing from Louisiana State University, Kim worked as a registered nurse and as a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner until God called her to homeschool.
Kim began milling homemade flour after hearing her mentor in the field, Sue Becker, speak about the health benefits of “real” whole wheat flour at a HERI homeschool convention in 2003.
After 3 months of cooking with fresh flour, Kim and her family began to experience amazing health benefits such as complete relief of seasonal allergies, aphthous ulcers & constipation. They also noticed increased energy levels as well as decreased doctor visits. In this talk, you will learn about the history of flour and the detrimental health effects of commercial milling. Kim will show you the different types of wheat berries, where to purchase them, and how you can easily make fresh, homemade flour. She will also teach you how to adapt any recipe so that you can make delicious, nourishing food.
Speaker: Kim Ebbers
