Create Lasting Memories: Meet John & Angela

John & Angela Pedre

As a former history teacher I believed God used evolution in creating the earth. This was my own conclusion and reason, to make God and history work together. After rededicating my life to Jesus at Calvary FTL I was challenged to research for myself. I began reading the books and material from Creation Studies Institute... Read More

Ice Age Fossils Support Creation Studies

Ice Age Fossil Adventure

When was the last time you had a chance to get away from the noise of the city and focus your thoughts on God and His creation? CSI gives you the opportunity to do just that every year on our amazing Fossil Float expeditions!

What is a Fossil Float?
It is an exciting adventure canoeing and digging for fossils.
If you have ever panned for gold you know that the findings are few and far between. However, if you pan for fossils in the Peace River, you strike pay dirt every time!

This area of Florida, rich with phosphates, is known as a Fossil Graveyard. Over the last decade we have taken over 10,000 people, young and old, down the Peace River, where they have learned that there is substantial evidence of a world-wide flood as recorded in the Bible. How else would you explain the findings of Whale Vertebra, or teeth of the Megalodon shark that would grow as large as 70 feet in length, in a river that is located some 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico?

The findings of the Wholly Mammoth, Saber-tooth Cat and the Giant Sloth, gives affirmation to the bible reference of an ice age.

What you will learn:
You will learn how to identify fossils, and make the connection to God as the creator. You will also learn to canoe and enjoy each other as you frolic in the cool waters together.

We end our exciting weekend adventure with a BBQ on Saturday evening. Happy faces fill the room as the finds are identified and the prizes are given for the most unique find, the most of one kind, and the largest and most complete fossils found.

Sunday is given to worship
We thank God for His goodness and His beautiful creation with a Sunday morning worship service. Our new found friends receive the ability to refute evolutionary teachings and go on to proclaim God as our Creator.
