Description: Recently Bill Nye the “Science Guy: has revealed himself to be very antagonistic of Christianity.  Let’s address his claims.Bill Nye has become popular again recently.  He did a “Big Talk” video where he went after those that don’t believe in evolution in a major way. In this talk Carl will break down that video and address his claims.  In addition questions that he raised will be addressed using secular sources.

What does he mean by “evolution”? Are “tiny changes” the mechanism by which a worm eventually turned into humans? How are mutations involved in that process? Can a “Christian” really do “science”?What about “ancient dinosaur bones”?  Don’t they show Christians are wrong? Plus more!

Christians need to be ready to give an answer for the reason for the hope that they have within them.  This talk will help give some of those answers and, hopefully, encourage the body of Christ to become more visible in the culture. This talk addresses the “Know it!” component of the Reasons for Hope ministry..

Speaker: Carl Kerby is an inspiring, motivating and highly respected Christian speaker. With more than 20 years of ministry experience, Carl shares his extensive knowledge and understanding of God’s creation in his presentations, outreach events, books and other resources as the President and founding board member of Reasons for Hope, Inc.

Carl Kerby is a former air-traffic controller and a creation apologist speaker who teaches how to defend the Bible against scientific naturalism. He was one of the founding board members for Answers in Genesis, and has been described by AiG as one of their most dynamic lecturers on the Book of Genesis.  After serving with Answers in Genesis for over 15 years, Carl became the Founder and President of Reasons for Hope. He is a much sought-after speaker both in the United States and abroad, and has spoken in Bermuda, Canada, England, Greece, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Wales and others.

He grew up in a liberal church that taught evolution could be mixed with God’s Word. In 1987 Carl Kerby became a Christian after attending a crusade in Salt Lake City, Utah. While an air-traffic controller and riding in the cockpit on a flight, the Creation vs. Evolution issue came up during a conversation with the pilots. The co-pilot argued that the Bible and Evolution were a totally different worldviews that could not be in harmonized. He then introduced Carl to Ken Ham’s book The Lie: Evolution, which helped him trust in the Bible as authoritative on the issue of creation.

Carl and his wife Masami have been married for more than 30 years. They have two children, Alisa (Bobby) and Carl Jr. (Tish) and four grandchildren, Trey, Naomi, Mari and James.
