DOES GOD EXIST?
CATALOG
OF MATERIALS

(August 2009)

Never in the history of man have the forces of atheism been so vocal or so militant as they are today. The DOES GOD EXIST? program is a nonprofit effort designed to meet this challenge.

The author--John Clayton was an atheist. He came to believe in the Bible as God's Word through his attempts to show it scientifically incorrect. These materials draw upon this experience and learning. With the interest and support of many people throughout the United States and Canada, he is endeavoring to demonstrate that there is a scientific basis for belief in God and the acceptance of the Bible as the Word of God. Mr. Clayton was a public school teacher of physics and the earth sciences for 41 years. He is a graduate of Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame, holding two master's degrees.

Grandpa John's Science Lab.

This series is very science oriented and is ideal for home schoolers and Christian teachers. Demonstrations are done, and explanations are provided to help the students understand what they are seeing and what it tells us about the world in which we live. In addition to the videos, a teacher’s guide is provided with content applications. Cost of the DVD set is $30.00.

SPECIAL TOPIC VIDEO PROGRAMS

Canyonlands and the Biblical Record. A two-hour program on one DVD featuring the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Petrified Forest, and Zion national parks, Lake Powell, and Meteor Crater with actual photographs from the Canyonlands Tour.

VIDEO PROGRAMS BY CONSULTANTS

Archeology & the Bible by Harvey Porter. Three DVDs with six hours of material on archeological support for the inspiration of the Bible and the integrity of the biblical record. Cost of the DVD set is $30.00.

INTERNATIONAL VIDEO SERIES

We have prepared a series of six video programs on three DVDs especially for mission use. In the programs, I present in English my material with its slides and charts. After each phrase, sentence, or paragraph, there is a silent space of approximately the same length. The picture on the TV screen during this silent time is either a graphic under discussion, a photograph, a Scripture, or other graphic material. It is during this silent space that the translation should be read. Written transcripts are available in:

Albanian	French	Korean	Slovenian
Arabic	German	Polish	Spanish
Bengali	Greek	Portuguese	Sudanaese
Bulgarian	Hindi	Romanian	Swedish
Chinese*	Hungarian	Russian	Ukrainian
Croatian	Indonesian	Serbian	Vietnamese
Dutch	Japanese	Slovakian
*(Mandarin--we also have an overdub spoken in Chinese)

It is absolutely essential that there be a local contact wherever these video programs are being shown. We would suggest that missionaries in these countries try to help people with answers to their questions. However, please feel free to contact us for additional assistance. What we are saying is that we cannot possibly carry on the necessary followup from here in the United States. We need help from mission efforts in studying personally with the individuals in foreign fields. We are happy to provide the videos and the translations with the hope that they can be used to convince people about God. The titles are:

1.	Cosmology's Proof of God
2.	The Source--Design or Chance?
3.	Mathematical Proof of Design
4.	What Is God?
5.	What Is Man?
6.	Which God Should We Serve?

Cost of the DVD set is $50.00.
