Conference Schedule
Saturday 8:30am – Doors Open, Free coffee and water available.
9am - “The Solar System Declares the Glory of God ” – Helmut Welke
Over 200 space probes have been sent to all the planets of our solar system as well as many of the larger moons. What we learn from these probes always contradicts man’s theories made from a distance. This talk is a tour of the planets, the data from space probes, and the actual findings which may surprise you!
10:15am - “Big Bang or Big Dud?” – Dr. Danny Faulkner
The Big Bang theory has been prominent since the mid-20th century, but recent developments have greatly added to its faults. In this presentation, Dr. Faulkner will explain in layman’s terms the major problems with the theory and the lack of observational evidence to support it.
11:30am - “James Webb Telescope Confirms the Bible”– Dr. Danny Faulkner
In this talk, Dr. Faulkner will show us the many beautiful photographs taken by the JW Space Telescope and explain how the findings further confound secular ideas about the origin of galaxies and our universe and fit the Biblical account.
12:30pm – Q & A Panel discussion with Faulkner & Welke. / Resource table open
1pm – close of conference
