• How science confirms biblical truth rather than contradicting it
• The danger of Christians adopting cultural ideas and trying to force them into Scripture
• Reading the Bible "naturally" not "literally" – interpreting according to context and genre
• Why Genesis matters: it provides foundations for understanding creation, gender, marriage, and human worth
• The theological problem with accepting millions of years: it places death before sin
• Introduction to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter as resources for families and believers
• Resources available through Answers in Genesis to help Christians defend their faith
