About Richard
Richard Stepanek was taught evolution in school and in church. He believed it until God opened his eyes to creation at a “Discover Creation” seminar. After extensive personal research on the subject, Rich became firmly convinced that the facts support the literal account of Creation found in the Bible. Rich joined Alpha Omega Institute as a full-time speaker in 1997 and has taught both in the States and internationally. Rich has done extensive studies in Genesis and its relevance to the rest of Scripture and loves to teach on this topic. His wife, Sue, often travels with him in the ministry.

Topic Descriptions
Astronomy and the Glory of God
Does science support the ‘Big Bang’ theory? Did the universe evolve by chance? Stars that are billions of light years away from the earth, do they proclaim an ancient universe? We will cover these issues and many others. Discover for yourself that the heavens declare the glory of the God!
Dinosaurs Proclaim the Glory of God
We will have a brief Power Point presentation on “what is a fossil?”, “how are fossils formed?”, and “dinosaurs and the Bible”. We will explore the evidence showing man and dinosaurs existed together just as the Bible reveals. We will study the Scripture’s description of the unicorn, behemoth, and dragons which are NOT make-believe creatures, but real animals that man was very familiar with.
Evolution, New Age, and Other False Religions
Evolution is the foundation for the New Age movement. By studying Scripture, we will discover that New Age is nothing new, but old age paganism spoken of in Genesis chapter three. How has New Age thinking affected the media, medicine, schools, and even the church? Well, come and see!
Museum Tour of The North American Museum of Ancient Life
Richard presents a tour on the North American Museum of Ancient Life in Lehi, UT.
Refuting Compromise
Why have so many Christians departed from the literal reading of Genesis? In this session we’ll address the teachings of the Gap Theory, Day Age Theory, Theistic Evolution, and Progressive Creationism. We will also look at the consequences of compromise and what is at stake in these issues.
Stem Cells, Genetic Engineering, and the Folly of Dolly (Cloning)
Learn the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells and the interesting research behind it. What is cloning? Discover the problems encountered with Dolly. Can humans be cloned? These and other questions will be answered in this eye-opening presentation.
The Origin of Life and the Glory of God
In this presentation we will study the ‘intelligent design concept’. The science of archaeology is based on this concept, and Richard will demonstrate how we use this concept every day of our life. Next, we will explore the evidence for God’s handiwork. We find complex design in nature, which only an intelligent designer could create. According to mathematical probabilities and the science of chemistry there is 0% chance that evolution could happen. So, what is the alternative? Come and see!
The Star of Bethlehem
In Matthew chapter two the wise men see a star that proclaimed the birth of the “King of the Jews”. What did the wise men see? Was it a star, a comet, or supernova? Maybe it was something altogether different. This has been a mystery for centuries. What clues are there in the Word of God to give us some insight as to what it might be? Richard believes the Scripture reveals what they saw. So come and see for yourself!
Walk by Faith, Not by Sight
We cannot always trust our eyes and our brain, but we can trust the Bible. This is an illusion presentation where Richard tricks the eye and the mind. He can make you see things that are not there, and make you not see things that are there. Evolution is an illusion because there is no observational evidence to support it.
Join Us for the Events!
There is free admission for all of these speaking events, and all ages are welcome! An offering will be taken to help defray costs.
Coloring pages and crayons will be available for the little ones at the back table. Additionally, a fossil table will be available for viewing in the back of most of the events.
We would love to see you there!
