In spite of the obvious genealogies from Genesis chapters 5-11, there are still many, including notable people such as Pat Robertson, who believe and are communicating to the public that the earth is millions or even billions of years old. This program looks at evidences that run counter to the old earth assumptions. Some of these include: Soft tissue in fossils—Scientists are finding blood vessels, red blood cells and even proteins, in dinosaur bones; elements that shouldn't be available in bones alleged to be about 65 million years old. Rapidly decaying magnetic field—We know the earth’s magnetic field was 40% stronger in A.D. 1,000 so if you extrapolate back, the earth can’t be more than about 20,000 years old. Many more evidences are examined.

Michael Connelly believes there is no offer for definite spending cuts on the table from President Obama. He contends that even if President Obama does manage to get middle class tax cuts extended, it won't make any difference to him because the increase in taxes due to Obamacare and tax increases due to new regulations placed upon the energy industry will make up for those tax cuts.

Mike Gendron described his journey that begins with his younger days as an altar boy, his eventual success in the business world, the material accoutrements that went with that lifestyle and his ties to the Catholic Church through it all. While Roman Catholicism gave Mike a grounding in the basics of Christianity, there was much about this system that covered, clouded and distorted the truth of God's plan for mankind through the redeeming work of Christ.

If ratified, Article 7 of the U.N. Disability Treaty would establish a legal standard here in America that would override the traditional, fundamental rights of parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children with special needs. In effect, this treaty would undermine our national sovereignty. America already has the best disability laws in the world therefore ratification of this treaty just so that we can have a "seat at the table" of any U.N. discussions regarding disabled individuals is simply unnecessary.

The world was told that the Arab Spring was all about ushering in liberty and democracy. What Ted Shoebat has found out is that the majority of the Egyptian people want Sharia law and the only entity that can stop its enforcement is the Muslim Brotherhood. He believes the Egyptian people have become a mob and that if you look at the protestors closely, you can see that it will be the youth of Egypt that will usher in Sharia law. When they do, it will not only be the government that will be doing the enforcing but the people themselves.

Why hasn't all-out war taken place in Israel yet? It could be due to the part Egypt must play. According to Avi Lipkin, the Arab world cannot go to war against Israel unless Egypt is part of the coalition. During the Arab Spring, Egypt's leader, Hosni Mubarak was replaced by the fanatical Muslim Brotherhood. The U.S. government did get their new leader, Mohammed Morsi, to negotiate a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas but riots started against him because hatred against Israel is so great among Muslims. In fact, Avi believes that Egypt is going through a time of anarchy and perhaps even civil war.

Does your Church have a ministry to help feed the poor? Do you need information on how to start a food pantry in your area? Do most Churches in America even have this sort of ministry? Listen as Vic talks with Marty Girardier on the subject of food pantries.

In this message, given at a VCY America Rally in November, 2006, Bill Federer provides a new perspective on the American holiday of Thanksgiving.

The name of the guest on this edition of Crosstalk, Reza Kahlili, is a pseudonym for a former CIA operative in Iran's Revolutionary Guard. How does Reza feel about Obama's policy toward Iran's nuclear ambitions? Where does Israel fit into this and can they attack Iran alone? Will any attack, whether it's from Israel or a coalition of nations, collapse the global economy? Is it possible for the U.S. to show strength in this situation and shut down Iran's nuclear advances while at the same time avoiding war? Find the answers by reviewing this critical edition of Crosstalk.

Vic Eliason presented the following stories for listener input: President Obama holds firm on tax hikes. Russian leaders pleased to see that someone who sees them as an enemy won't be the president. Harry Reid indicates that the debt limit should be raised to $18,794,000,000,000 David Petraeus resigns from the C.I.A. citing an extramarital affair. President Obama didn't win a single state that fully required photo I.D.'s to vote.

The persecuted church is not limited to a certain geographic area. Open Doors works in about 45-50 countries although there are others that persecute Christians. Jerry Dykstra estimates that the worldwide number of Christians facing persecution and discrimination at about 100 million but he admitted that other agencies put the number at 200 million.

Sam believes that it is God who raises up and brings down leaders. In light of this, he encouraged listeners with the news that the result of yesterday's election is no surprise to God. He also communicated that while America has a Christian heritage, by majority vote, our nation has placed its trust in men and not God. America is therefore no longer a Christian nation.

While the election of the president is the primary focal point concerning tomorrow's election, other key elections and decisions cannot be ignored. For example, eligible citizens will also be faced with the decision to vote for: All 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. One third of the U.S. Senate. 11 Governors from various states and many other races and referendums. With all this in mind, Vic asked listeners who they would be voting for in the presidential election and the main factor that is determining that vote.
