In March 2011 the presentation was Ideas in Motion by Brian Riddle. Mr. Riddle presented the evidence that Darwin's theory of Natural Selection has given a false sense of justification to the rationale that it is OK to murder, lie, extort, etc., in order to survive and/or get ahead of your competition. This was demonstrated by several biography's of famous influential people such as Nietzsche, Marx, Spencer, Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler. Also examined were the influential people who were in opposition to Darwin's theory: Dr. Henry Morris, Dr. John C. Whitcomb, Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith, Dr. Carl Wieland, Dr. D. James Kennedy. In all cases, Darwin was the fulcrum of their actions or, in other words, the proponents were motivated toward evil and the creationists were motivated by the error in Darwin’s idea and took action against it.
A lecture is soon forgotten but creationist resources may be reviewed and examined later, giving a person the chance to critically consider the evidence and make a decision to depart from faith in Darwin and be re-directed to faith in Jesus Christ. The audience was challenged to take action against Darwin's idea and prevent the further spread of such erroneous thinking by distributing creationist resources. It was pointed out that no one is required to be famous or in a high ranking position to take the following actions; To the contrary, God uses the weak to show his strength. Therefore, several ideas were given that each of us can use to promote the truth of Gods Word and distribute creationist resources. Below are the distribution ideas from the presentation Ideas in Motion, these are the same as the handouts given during the lecture.
