"Creation's Critters" the Wildlife of the Pacific Northwest -- Steve Hayley - 4/15/00

Science teacher and wildlife biologist Steve Hayley speaks on the wildlife of the pacific northwest. This is an updated version of his talk given last year on the Institute for Creation Research's Mount St Helens field study tour, in which DSA's Keith Swenson and Hayley both participated as educational staff. In this multimedia presentation, utilizing color slides and overheads, Steve encourages us to consider the origins of the varied wildlife that we observe, asking such questions as:

bulletWhat was God's method of creation?
bulletWhen did creation occur?
bulletWhat was the original condition of created life?
bulletIs there a difference between "species" and "created kind"?
bulletAre living organisms best depicted as a tree, a lawn or a forest?

Steve surveys some of the unique wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, viewing and discussing color slides of common, as well as not-so-common species. Specific examples of the Creator's creativity will be mentioned. (taped 4/2000 1 hour, 23 minutes)

The Deschutes River- Geology/ Biology-

Dr Keith Swenson/ Steve Hayley

In preparation for a DSA raft trip down a section of the Deschutes river near the town of Maupin, Dr Keith Swenson and Steve Hayley talk about the geology (Swenson) and biology (Hayley) and show slides.

Dechutes River Wildlife Field Trip -- Leader: Dr Keith Swenson 5/02 (VCD & VHS) This is the first digitally edited DSA field trip. Join an enthusiastic group on a spring day as we observe and discuss wildlife along the lower Deschutes River. Passing through both riparian and sagebrush habitat, leader Keith Swenson make several stops for interpretive talks "in the field". Emphasis is on birds, but all critters encountered (including one snake) were considered fair game for discussion. (taped 5/2002 58 minutes)
Molecular Biology- Vern Bissell Ph.D.

Recent research on human DNA suggests that all women living today are descendants of a common female ancestor, gamely referred to by evolutionist researchers as "Eve". Also, research indicates that all men living today are apparently the descendants of a common male ancestor. Vern Bissell suspects that this is evidence for the actual existence of an Adam and Eve, and discusses how evolutionists have stretched out the time elapsed from the first couple until now, using faulty assumptions. Researchers have now possibly (unwittingly) found evidence for Shem, Ham, and Japeth (Noah's son's), in DNA.

Facts and Fiction About Bats- Ron Lyttle

Bats possess such a marvelous coordination of sonar and flight that it is hard to imagine that this ability could have developed by chance. In addition, there is no fossil evidence for bat evolution. Presented by Oregon Zoo "Bat Talker" Ron Lyttle.

Mount St. Helens Biological Recovery - Dr. Keith Swenson

Approximately 19 years after the great devastation caused by the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, an amazing recovery by the plants and animals of the region is taking place. Scientists are learning many new things about how such events take place. We can get some idea of how the earth may have recovered after the Flood by studying the blast zone at Mount St Helens.
