Brian Thomas
Brian Thomas PhD serves as the head Science Writer for the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), where his duties include creating daily news articles, editing, researching, public speaking, and writing publications for ICR magazines, mainly Acts & Facts.[1] In fact, it was the Creation magazine by Creation Ministries International that caused Mr. Thomas to abandon his evolutionary beliefs for those of Christianity. Since his conversion, Brain Thomas has pursued teaching his creation faith both as an educator in Christian schools and a university professor.[2]
Brian Thomas' personal missions goal:
“ | My vision is to equip believers to be confident in Christ and in the veracity of His entire Word by showing how strongly science and history support Him.[1] | ” |

Presentations
Title | Description |
---|---|
What You Haven’t Been Told About Dinosaurs | Brian presents little-known but critical observations about dinosaurs, gleaned from science and Scripture. He presents solid answers to the biggest dinosaur questions, including how the fossil and historical evidence of dinosaurs and dragons fits so well with Noah’s Flood. |
How To Teach Dinosaurs and Creation | Learn how to make your own memorable, life-changing sayings. The next time you and your students drive past rock layers from a road cut, ask them, “How soon was one layer laid on the last?” Then hear their practiced reply, “There’s no trace of erosion, so no time had passed.” Learning can be fun and easy – and can last a lifetime – when we use the right tools. |
Why the World is Only Thousands of Years Old | A common objection to Christianity among formerly churched youth is that the “scientific” age of the earth conflicts with the Bible’s age. But in truth, real science from astronomy, biology, and geology clearly show a thousands-of-years-old world. Brian reveals easy-to-understand evidence that refutes “millions of years” and confirms a biblical age of the world. |
The Beginning of Life | Using information not found in secular Biology textbooks, Brian demonstrates the complete failure of the evolutionary model to explain how life began. He quickly critiques evolutionary speculations about the beginning of life. Then, by illustrating the amazing precision in cellular machines, he shows that life was undoubtedly created by God. |
Evidence For Creation in Human Reproduction | Did humans evolve from primates? Everyone eventually shows interest in human reproduction, but few have been taught the details that clearly show how man must have come from God, not primates. Listeners of all ages will gain a new appreciation for the Creator's genius, and will be given new confidence that God alone is responsible for building human life. |
Why Genesis Matters | From where did we come? Aren’t such questions side issues, peripheral to the core doctrines of Christianity? Brian’s personal story of discovery touches on the earth's age, the fossil record, and why Genesis is not just a side issue, but core to life’s central theme. |
Soft Tissues in Solid Rocks! | Were original red blood cells really discovered inside dinosaur bones in 2005? Are “fossilized” structures that look just like blood vessels, cells and skin actually from the original creatures? The answer is “yes.” Over 40 specific instances of original, organic fossil tissues show why the rock layers that contain them must only be thousands of years old. |
