Mike riddle Exposes the Fossil Record that Support Evolution 2-6

Mike can give powerful, well-illustrated talks on: * the importance of upholding biblical authority during these challenging culture wars in Western nations * dinosaurs and the Bible * the six days of creation * astronomy and the Bible * the origin of life * many, many other fascinating talks

As a former world-class athlete in the multi-event decathlon (i.e., becoming proficient in ten athletic events, with each decathlon conducted over two grueling days), its not surprising that Mike is also versatile in his creation evangelism efforts. Not only will he be a speaker out on the field to conduct meetings in churches, schools and other venues, Mike will also be holding workshops in the new AiG-USA facility (within the Creation Museum) in Northern Kentucky. Thirdly, he will also help AiG develop additional curriculum materials for various age ranges on the Book of Genesis.

Mike holds a degree in mathematics and a graduate degree in education. He has been heavily involved in creation ministry for more than twenty years, and has gained such a good reputation as a speaker, that he is often a keynoter at many meetings, including various homeschool conferences in the United States. (In fact, US supporters might want to mention Mike Riddles name to the leaders of their statewide homeschool group and ask its program committee to consider inviting Mike to bring his talks on biblical authority.)

Before becoming involved in creation ministry, Mike was a US Marine (rising to the rank of captain) and during his career as a Marine, appeared on a widely distributed recruiting poster for the Marines. Mike tells us that his goal with AiG is to have the Marines famous Latin motto semper fi (always faithful) be applied to his ministry of traveling around America (and overseas) to proclaim the creation/gospel message (and thus fittingly fulfilling the Apostle Peters command to be faithful in being ready always to give an answer I Peter 3:15).

Before becoming a Marine, Mike became a US national champion in the track-and-field version of the pentathlon (in 1976). His best events were the 400 meters, javelin, long jump and 1,500 meters (almost a mile). In his professional life, Mike worked for many years in the computer field with Microsoft (yes, he has met Bill Gates).

Mike told us that while he conducts dozens of layperson meetings each year, my primary passion is to train the trainers—the teachers and pastors—to be able to defend the Christian faith, and then have them teach others. I see it being done through teaching workshops here at AiGs new headquarters and elsewhere, such as the possibility of web-based, distance learning instructional courses, as well as written materials. We need to be equipping more Christians to uphold their faith and to evangelize more effectively in these challenging times.

As a speaker, hosting Mike will be even more cost efficient for churches (and other groups) who may want to hold an exciting AiG meeting. You see, his wife Lesley will be serving AiG as a volunteer, and will join Mike at most of his events as AiGs on-site representative (whose salary we dont have to pay, and thus hosts only have to take care of her travel expenses).

Ken Ham, AiGUSA president, encourages supporters to have their church leadership contact AiG to have Mike come out and impact their churches and communities with the creation/gospel message: Mike is a dynamic and passionate speaker, with a wealth of experience in creation ministry. He already has a phenomenal reputation, and brings another exciting dimension to the AiG outreach—including his ability to produce curriculum for many age ranges. Mikes a great speaker and curriculum developer.

4:10-4:32 on this video is an excellent point.

David Berlinski is not an evolutionist. He is a prominent debater for intelligent design.

THanks mate you're doing a good job. Alhtough I think evolution does have serious evidence, I think the fact of irreducable complexity still counts. The creation is all around (and in) us!
