Creation evidence: Dr. Kennedy and Tom DeRosa, Executive Director of the Creation Studies Institute, with mammoth bones unearthed on a CSI dig in Florida. From left are the tibia (shin), mandible (lower jaw), and femur (thigh) of a Columbian mammoth which roamed the earth during the post-Flood Ice Age. These bones, only one percent fossilized, are between 3000 and 4000 years old. Coral Ridge Ministries Launches Creation Outreach Coral Ridge Ministries is teaming up with the Creation Studies Institute (CSI) to launch a national creation outreach. CSI’s Executive Director Tom DeRosa, an educator and creation studies authority, has spent many years assembling information, contacts, and artifacts in his study of evidences for creation. CSI’s chief aim is to defend and promote creation and to expose the lie of evolution.      “There are groups in power in this nation that have a vested interest in promoting evolution, and their agenda has no room for God or for a moral law,” said Dr. Kennedy who is President of CSI, “If we are to return to godliness, the pernicious lie of evolution must be exposed. CSI will bring creation education to the masses and I believe it is essential to winning America back to God.” Creation Evangelism      The mission of CSI, DeRosa said, is to “bring people to Christ through the message of Creation.... When people see the Creator God, they can be brought to Christ.” CSI also seeks to strengthen the faith of Christians and to bring the creation message to the general public.      One way it does that is through its impressive collection of bones and fossils. CSI has thousands of bones, making its collection one of the largest of any Christian organization. Teaming with Coral Ridge Ministries will allow CSI to establish creation science museums and interactive creation science centers, along with intensive teacher training and adult education programs.     “We want to establish museums so we can show people that God is the Creator, so they understand that they don’t come from monkeys, but they come from God,” states DeRosa, a high school and college science educator for 32 years.      Bones from mammoths and dinosaurs provide evidence for the origin of life, said DeRosa, who wants to display actual bones and fossils, not just replicas or castings. “I think the real vision and dream is to get the real stuff, the real bones,” he said. “The evolutionists have been doing that all along, and they’ve been telling the wrong story. It’s time we got the bones and told the right story.” The Plan      The national launch of CSI will include: • A Genesis Connection weekly one-hour radio program featuring interviews with creation scientists and experts. • Development of the CSI web site with new interactive features. • The Creationist newsletter and other printed literature to bring the message of creation to the nation.   Please see New Creation Outreach, page 4   Pages   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  Next >>
