2009 Creation vs Evolution Muncaster video

On November 4 and Dec 2, we will be watching a DVD by Ralph Muncaster, “Creation vs. Evolution.”

Many of the brief segments of this video are available on YouTube if you are interested in watching them. The group had a lively discussion, as we don’t necessarily agree with this video on all details, but found many of the facts presented extremely helpful and interesting.

The December meeting will include the “Appendices” which are more technical and in-depth.

2009 : Garden of Eden 2

We watched about the first half of a video by Kent Hovind on this topic in Dec 2008. Due to Christmas, we have not yet watched the 2nd half.

As we would like to read a couple journal articles in January, this video is on the roll for “when life gets busy,” probably in February 2009. Date to be announced….

Dec 3: The Garden of Eden

Part one of video two, “The Garden of Eden”, by Kent Hovind.

We’ll be meeting at our place to watch this lecture on the initial conditions after Creation. This is my week to bake Christmas cookies, so guess what we’ll have to munch on!

I suggest bringing paper and pens so that you can jot down your thoughts during the lecture, for discussing afterwards.

You don’t need to watch anything in advance, but if you are looking for the site, these are found here:  http://www.drdino.com/downloads.php

Oct 22 : Age of the Earth

A popular creationist lecturer, Kent Hovind, has a video series, downloadable from his website. At this meeting we will take a look at the first one in the series, on the Age of the earth.

The download series is listed on his website:  http://www.drdino.com/downloads.php

We will meet at Troy & Jody Wielgosz’ home, which is still in Rutland, just up the hill from our place. If you are not sure where we are, give someone a call or email us and I can give you directions. We will meet around 7 pm, video to start PROMPTLY at 7:30, as some in the group may need to leave on time, too.

Depending on the group discussion following the movie, we will decide whether to watch all or most of this series for the rest of the fall / winter. So, if you have ideas on that, please attend tonight.

Sept 24 – Six Days of Creation

Wed 24th Sept, 2008, we will be at Troy & Jody’s place,  watching this video:

http://www.answersingenesis.org/PublicStore/product/Six-Days-of-Creation-The,4773,229.aspx

Titled, The Six Days of Creation: A Young Earth is Not the Issue, by Ken Ham, this “layman” level video discusses the age of the earth. Also includes a Silly Song, but not (alas) by Larry.

No homework in advance of this meeting, but come prepared to take notes during the video to discuss both the content, the strategy, and the presentation.

Remember, this is not at our usual location. Contact someone from the group if you aren’t sure where we are meeting.

Unlocking the Mystery of Life

In our June meeting, I found out about this video:

Unlocking the mystery of life [videorecording] / produced by Illustra Media.
[S.l.] : Illustra Media, c2002.
Subjects DNA — DVD-Video discs

Intelligent design (Teleology) — DVD-Video discs
Description:
1 videodisc (ca. 65 min.) : sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in.

I’m putting it on hold from the public library and we’ll all watch it together ~ date to be discussed. Our original plan was July, but maybe we shall consider August? Or saving it for a busy week once school starts again in the fall.

July 9 : Expelled No Intelligence Allowed

Plot Twist!

The movie on Intelligent Design, ‘Expelled‘ will be playing in Kelowna this week. If the group agrees, I think we should have a field trip on Wednesday! Showtime 7 pm, at the Grand10.

Slight change from our previous plan, but it’s still an ID movie!

Apr 23 : Mt. St. Helen’s Eruption

Our friends Troy & Jody have an older video (it’s on vhs!) documenting the geological effects of the Mt. St. Helen’s eruption. Very cool movie, and we have been invited over to their place to watch it for this meeting.

You are welcome to arrive at Jody & Troy’s house anytime between 7 and 7:30 pm. Please email me or comment and I’ll let you know how to get there.

Feb 27 : Debate video : Craig vs. Zindler part 2

With a little overlap, we will finish watching this YouTube published video of W.L.Craig versus Zindler on the topic of Christianity versus Athiesm. We may also have some open discussion of questions, as the group has a couple of new members joining us, and we’d like to take time to find out their interests.

Feb 13 : Debate video : Craig vs. Zindler part 1

Okay, I did find a debate on YouTube but we’d like to be able to watch it as a group. What we’re after is a substantial debate, on video, between an athiest and a Christian. We can watch it and then discuss. Once I’ve got something that will play on our system for us to watch together as a group, I’ll post all the details in this space….

edit:

Kudos to Darcy W. for downloading & reformatting the entire Craig – Zindler debate so that the group could watch it! We covered the first 20 min. speeches plus 12 minute second sections this week. At the next meeting (Feb 27) we’ll watch the remainder and continue discussing it.
