The Mysterious Islands Premiere in Dallas

The film of the evening

Built in 1937, Lakewood Theater is the only single screen theater left in Dallas with its art deco style.

This event was a Phillips family production.


Part of the Mysterious Island team


For most of the little children present, the beautiful footage of fearless animals was their favorite part. To see the diverse creatures and wild islands that had been regaled to us previously by both my grandmother and Dr. John Morris, was a special treat for our family.

Several Questions During a Panel Discussion

Lawrence Ford, John Morris, Henry Morris III and Randy Guluizza

~ Searching for Noah's ark
~ The age of the stars
~ What specific "kinds" of animals were created on the sixth day
~ The age of the earth
~ Dealing with the "gap theory"
~ How to be prepared for confrontation in every area of life

A light moment while discussing heavy topics

Lucy, Ida and Ardi to the Intricacies of the Human Hand

"What is the evidence?" and "Does it make sense?" were two questions ICR's Dr. Randy Guluizza asked throughout his two talks regarding fossils and the human body.

The fact that most humans can hold multiple items (i.e. a chip, hammer, paint can and cloth) in both hands at the same time is a truly human ability granted and created by God.

In Between Science Classes...

Dr. John Morris on Time and the Age of the Earth

Dr. John Morris dealt with a very interesting topic, time...and the age of the earth. With his clear explanations and interesting stories, even our youngest listeners came away desiring to learn more about these subjects.

Looking at both sides of the issue...

Is it possible?

Acts and Facts

One of the many ministries of ICR is a monthly periodical called Acts and Facts which informs scientists and laymen alike on the front line scientific issues of our day. For this event Lawrence Ford, the editor of Acts and Facts, was the master of ceremonies. Read this month's issue online here.

Dr. Henry Morris III on the Omnipresence of God

During ICR's Demand the Evidence conference, many listened to the words of Dr. Henry Morris III on several different topics including the omnipresence of God. What follows is just an excerpt (in notes) from his talk entitled, Genesis and the Character of God.

God’s Omnipresence

2 Samuel 22:31; Psalm 18:30; Psalm 104:24; Colossians 2:3; James 1:17; Isaiah 46:9-10; Acts 15:18; Revelation 1:8

God is not unaware of anything
God’s knowledge is immediate
God knows all there is to know

Demands of Omniscience

God must reveal complete information – Or keep “secret”
Deuteronomy 29:29 – “secret things belong” to God

God can reveal truth without details

God can not create inferior things.

He can do only “holy” acts.
He can not create, make, or shape, non-functional processes.

If made, must work completely
If purposed, must have ability to function
If designed, must clearly demonstrate

ALL THINGS must bring glory to the Creator

Results of Omniscience

God’s purpose and order flow from His Omniscience
Isaiah 14:27 and Romans 8:28

God’s decisions are unchangeable and without confusion
Isaiah 46:10 and 1 Corinthians 14:33

God’s specific will and pleasure are always implemented
Psalm 33:11, Ephesians 1:9-11, Psalm 135:6, Isaiah 46:9-11
