Schedule

Answers Research Summit

Additionally for all attendees to this year's Answers Mega Conference, free admittance to the Answers Research Summit will also be included! Normally $49 for individuals and $79 for couples.

The presentations will be aimed at providing updates on some of the latest creationist research in biology, astronomy and geology. Though technical, every effort will be made to explain all details, so that all attendees will be well armed with the latest cutting edge information on the specific topics being covered.

In particular, the two sessions will focus on the issues central to the battle over origins and the authority of Scripture, namely, the limits to biological changes that conclusively demonstrate that molecules to man evolution cannot and has not happened, and the supposed millions of years that are ruled out by Scripture, astronomy and geology, the latter presentation being focussed on the radioactive dating methods.
