Three hours of video sessions discussing creation versus evolution are available free on this page. Tim Stout, the author, believes that the data of science, honestly interpreted, points to a Creator God as the source of life. Reasons for this are discussed from geology, biology, biochemistry, and physics. These sessions are from CTO's DVD, with a slight reduction in quality. A high-speed Internet connection is recommended because of the size of the files.

2. Entropy: Getting The First Cell. This session is a "main course." The arguments presented in this session prove fatal to the possibility of life generating spontaneously. Hence, the very existence of a living cell points to an intelligent, powerful and active Creator God. A living cell has many different components, all of which need to be present and in good working order for a cell to survive. Beyond this, water quickly destroys cell components and a cell must have a means of repairing the damage from this or it quickly dies. Together, this requires that the first living cell be formed as a single step process within a very short period of time. This is the exact opposite of evolutionary claims that the first cell gradually formed over long periods of time. Formation of a living cell by a single step process taking place quickly makes sense only if life is the result of the creative activity of an intelligent, Creator God. The data and observations of science, honestly interpreted, teach against the possibility of a spontaneous generation of life. Concerning entropy, life is too complicated and too organized for random, natural activity to generate it. 32 minutes 40 seconds, 167 megabytes.
3. Entropy: Getting A New Enzyme. This session is a second "main course." It also presents arguments which are fatal to evolutionary theory. Evolution from a simple to a more complicated form of life requires the introduction of new information into DNA. However, the information required to code for even a single brand new enzyme is effectively impossible to generate by random processes. Even a google years with every star in the universe having a planet participating in the effort would not be long enough to generate the required information.
Tim Stout: When I talk to students on college and university campuses, I frequently challenge them, "Would you like to be famous? All you need to do is give a legitimate rebuttal to the DVD session on getting a new enzyme. Biologists are desperately looking for someone to find one." A typical reaction to this challenge is a smirk with a comment something like, "Oh, that should be easy." So, I challenge them to e-mail me if they find any flaws in the arguments presented. After now having distributed over 10,000 DVDs on various campuses throughout the country, I have yet to have a single person offer such a rebuttal. 42 minutes 2 seconds, 215 megabytes.
4. Radiometric Dating. This session is viewed as a "dessert." It is a sweet way to finish the scientific portion of the DVD. Radiometric dating presents some very serious problems for the evolutionists. Two of them are discussed in this session. The first involves Carbon 14 dating. The modern method of chemical analysis now allows a scientist to count the exact number of carbon 14 atoms in a sample. This provides extremely accurate results. After much less than 1/4 of a million years, all of the carbon 14 in a sample should have disappeared. Therefore, deposits of oil and coal which were supposedly buried 50 to 300 million years ago should not have even a slight trace of carbon 14. The reality is that essentially every sample of ANYTHING containing carbon from ANY source from ANYWHERE on the planet will contain enough carbon 14 to date it at well under 100,000 years. Therefore, coal and oil deposits are well under 100,000 years old. Dinosaurs were buried well under 100,000 years ago. This phenomenon is extremely well documented in the literature. Yet, it is never talked about because it contradicts preconceived evolutionary notions. Other significant issues are also talked about in the session. 8 minutes 50 seconds, 45 megabytes.
5. Science and Scientists. There is no contradiction between true science and the Bible. The scientific method was developed by Sir Francis Bacon as a means pf bringing the earth under subjection, a command God gave man and which was recorded in Genesis chapter 1. Most of the early branches of science were founded by Christians who believed the Bible and believed in a Creator God. A list of these scientists and the branches of science they founded is given. 25 minutes 44 seconds, 135 megabytes.
6. Science of Philosophy. Evolutionary theory is not science. The procedures used to develop it followed that pattern that Sir Francis Bacon said lead to error, not truth. Hence, it is more philosophical than scientific. Actually, evolution is merely a proposed reconstruction of history. However, this reconstruction is contradicted by a number of scientific principles and as such should be rejected. People choose to believe in evolution, not because of the evidence of science, but because it gives them a convenient excuse to reject God. Science itself, properly understood, points towards the existence of a living Creator God. 29 minutes, 152 megabytes.
7. God's Perspective. This is the climax of the DVD. If indeed there truly is a Creator God, then the primary issue becomes His perspective. This session presents God's perspective on this entire subject, as presented by the Bible. The Bible teaches that God is worthy of worship and that He will not give His glory to another. Evolutionary teaching attempts to replace the glory of God as revealed by the intricacies of life with random, non-intelligent processes. A person believes and teaches evolution at the penalty of offending a God powerful enough to create matter out of nothing. This is not wise. God counts us as valuable, having been created in His image and likeness. He counts us as so valuable that He sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the world to be an offering for our sins in order that we can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. 28 minutes 5 seconds, 144 megabytes.
Future Sessions. Future sessions not on the current DVD are being planned. They will be placed online as they become available. These are the current sessions being planned:
1. Introduction. Tim Stout's background is explained as well as an overview of the DVD contents. The Script for this session is available at this time, but it has not yet been video-taped. Newer versions of the DVD will include this session.
2. Darwin's Imaginary Evidence. Charles Darwin wrote a book, The Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, which laid the f
