  Lecture Series

Why a Lecture Series?
We have developed our lecture series for students and adults who want to learn more about, science, Intelligent Design, and natural history from a creation view point.

Our science lectures give important definition to why we believe the Evolutionist explanation for life’s origin is inadequate in explaining the complexity and design in the world around us.

Our speakers are from a broad range of fields and specialties and are comprised of both professional and layman scientists.

About the Lecture
Take a look into a real bee hive!
“Each visit to our bee hives turns into an exciting adventure that reveals something different in the bees’ behavior that we’ve never seen before” says Wayne and Stevie Pieplow.
“We’re always learning and we’d like to share some of the things we’ve learned with you about how to raise honey bees.”
Become an eye-witness of how God has wonderfully designed honey bees to build thriving hives and delicious honey.


About the Speakers
For the Pieplows raising honey bees is a family endeavor.
What began as a homeschool science experiment has blossomed into a small scale farming operation that has lasted fifteen years and included all six of Wayne and Stevie’s children!
The inspiration for the project began with a unity study called The Bee Tree (in a book called Beyond Five in a Row).
Soon after the family visited a bee keeper “who made bee keeping look really fun.”
“That’s all it took,” and it wasn’t long before Stevie and the kids were raising honey bees.
During Stevie’s last pregnancy, Wayne became more actively involved with the project when Stevie could no longer lift the heavy wooden hive boxes—and it’s been a joint project ever since!
The Pieplows raise their children, and their bees, in the beautiful Summit/Portage County area of Northeast Ohio.

  Genesis in the Ancient Chinese Language
  February 6th, 2009 -  7:00-8:30 PM in the Lecture Hall
  By Todd Styer


DVD and book available in our Gift Shop

This lecture sparked a lot of interest among the people attending. Todd Styer taught about why the straightforward interpretations of ancient and modern-day Chinese pictographs and ideograms provide strong evidence that the founders of China had intimate knowledge of the God of the Bible, the monotheistic Creator.

This lecture examined why the ancient Chinese incorporated such a large and uncanny knowledge of the book of Genesis into their written language. Todd also discussed how scholars are certain that the God of the Bible was once worshiped in ancient China!

You can purchase a DVD of Todd presenting this very same lecture at the Science Center in 2008. The book
God’s Promise to the Chinese People is also for sale in our Gift Shop. This book describes, in detail, the same information that Todd presented in his fascinating lecture.
