What they do
-
Religious Media Production and Distribution 2 activities
- Delivery of presentations on biblical creation and critiques of evolutionConducts in-person and virtual presentations (35–60 minutes, with optional Q&A) on biblical creation, the scientific challenges to evolutionary theory, and the importance of Genesis 1–11 for Christian theology. Events are delivered to churches, schools (elementary through university), homeschool co-ops, museums, and academic conferences, including hosted lectures at institutions like the Rochester Museum and Science Center.
- Production and distribution of educational media on biblical creationProduces and provides free access to a full-length feature film, documentaries, ebooks, and a 10-hour video curriculum on biblical creation, including titles such as "Dismantled: A Scientific Deconstruction of the Theory of Evolution" and "Genetic Entropy," aimed at Christian educators, homeschooling parents, pastors, and general audiences. Content is delivered digitally and includes streaming curricula and downloadable articles.

- Conducting and publishing scientific research supporting biblical originsConducts and publishes original research in biology, geology, and population genetics from a biblical worldview, including analyses of Haldane’s Dilemma, genetic entropy, fossil interpretations (e.g., Tiktaalik, Lucy, whale evolution), and genomic degeneration. Research is presented at academic conferences such as the International Conference on Creationism and the Geological Society of America, and disseminated through articles, books (e.g., Contested Bones), and peer-reviewed publications.

How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Biblical Concordism and Scientific Apologeticsmethodology: biblical_concordismBy interpreting scientific data—especially in genetics and paleoanthropology—through a literal reading of Genesis, we strengthen the credibility of Scripture and reinforce Christian faith, because alignment between science and the Bible demonstrates divine authority and historical truth.
- Creation-Based Scientific Critique as Faith Strengtheningmethodology: science-confirmationistBy producing technically rigorous critiques of evolutionary theory using genetics, fossil data, and population modeling, we strengthen Christian faith, because demonstrating the scientific plausibility of creationism reduces cognitive dissonance for believers and supports evangelism.
- Literary and Theological Defense of Genesis Authoritymethodology: foundational-apologeticsBy defending the early chapters of Genesis as literal and historical, we preserve the theological foundation of Christianity, because if Genesis is not true, the coherence of doctrines such as sin, fall, and redemption collapses.
