Mr. Mendez,
Thank you so much for the seminars last Sabbath at the Denver church area. It is so great to have some answers to the complex questions regarding the dating that scientists claim as fact. It will enable us to have a "ready answer" when we are asked about some of these things.
UCG member in Denver comments about the Noah's Ark and Early Man Seminars
Dear Mr. Mendez,
I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed your seminar on Noah's Ark and Early Man at last weeks Sabbath at the Northglenn Rec. Center in Colorado. I recently began attending Sabbath services...for the first time in my life and I am blown away at how much information the United Church of God has to offer. Our pastor is wonderful and I cannot say enough about the people of God that attend these services.
You are blest with a gift from God to be able to make a presentation such as the one you made last week. I left the seminar on information overload. My head was spinning with information I have never heard before about Noah's Ark and Early Man.
I thank God for people like yourself to be able to bring understanding of what Gods word is all about.
Thank you very much.
UCG member in Denver comments about the Noah's Ark and Early Man Seminars
At the morning seminar, "Noah's Ark", 112 brethren, including some from as far away as Montréal, Buffalo, and even Cincinnati, assembled at the regular hall in Old Burnhamthorpe Road, Toronto, to hear Mr. Mendez. The stage are had been set up with an impressive visual display of models of the ark, some in cut-away, replicas of artifacts such as fossils skulls, and a wide variety of publications on the ark...He explained the probable meaning of "gopher wood", from which the ark was constructed, and spoke at length on the logistics of accommodating the animals in the ark and providing for their survival during the duration of the flood. The seminar concluded with a lively question-and-answer session in which he fielded questions form the congregation.
Following a potluck midday meal, brethren assembled again in the afternoon for the Sabbath service, the major part of which was taken up with Arnold Mendez's second presentation--"Early Man". He concluded with another opportunity for the congregation to participate in a question-and-answer session.
All those present greatly appreciated the visit by Arnold and Janie Mendez and the informative and faith-enhancing knowledge contained in his seminar, which were presented with great clarity and an abundance of humour. It was noteworthy that long after the end of the service, Mr. Mendez was still surrounded by a group of members enjoying a final opportunity to discuss thoughts and questions raised by these remarkable seminars.

Hello Mr. Mendez,
Thank you so much for the DVD's. They are wonderful!!!!!! My wife who is not a Church member, watched the one on Noah's Ark, and loved it. She thought you did a great job on presenting the topic. Your knowledge about what you present, and the way you present it, is a gift from our great God. Keep you the good work.
UCG members comments about the Noah's Ark and Early Man DVDs
I was at your seminar that you gave in Minneapolis. I thought it was very informative and I loved the way you backed up your information with the Bible. I and my grandson were talking about the things in your seminar on early man, but I didn't have the answers for him. I had to tell him what I knew, I knew by faith. But that wasn't enough for him. Then I went to your seminar and it was like God was answering my prayers for answers to his questions. Thank you in advance and my God bless you richly.

Hello Arnold,
Hope your trip back to Corpus Christi was safe, pleasant, and on-time!
Just a brief note to THANK you and Janie for coming to Charlotte to present the seminars. I’ve heard many very positive comments from many of the brethren here – much very good information on the time of early man and the flood. I think it caught the interest of the youth too; I noticed many came up to view the displays and to ask questions. You did a great job in the presentations! And I’m glad Janie could come with you – it added a lot to have you both there.
Please be sure to let her know how much we appreciate her coming as well. THANKS AGAIN – and best wishes to you and Janie!
UCG Pastor's comments about the Noah's Ark Early Man Seminars
I wish to thank you for a wonderful seminar we had this past Sabbath in Charlotte, NC. Your seminar was extremely interesting. You opened up a whole new study and understanding about the world of antiquity regarding Adam, Noah, the flood, Neanderthal man and how this all related to God and his dealings with humans. For the first time these things have begun to make sense! God certainly has opened up a door to the truth to you of the ancient world and not only how He had dealt with the Patriarchs but also how it involves us in the latter days.
UCG member in North Carolina comments about the Noah's Ark and Early Man Seminars
Just a short note to let you know we are all enjoying your DVDs on Noah's Ark and Early Man. We are going to schedule them to be played in the next month, combining churches, these DVD are very well done, and we will provide hand outs for brethren. Our neighboring minister will also be getting in touch with you, so he can receive these DVDs, and he will also be putting on combined churches services. We are all very happy to get these DVDs, and we all want to thank you so much for your very wonderful research and work done on this outstanding work.
UCG member in Western Canada-Comments about the Noah's Ark and Early Man Seminar DVDs
We would like to extend our deep appreciation to you for your sacrifice and hard work in taking on such a grueling schedule to make these presentations. I heard many very positive comments about how interesting the seminar was. There brethren were sincerely impressed with the depth of information. They also appreciated being able to fellowship with you and your wife Janie, and to ask further questions.
We hope that your travels went well and that you have some well deserved rest.
UCG Pastor's comments about the Noah's Ark Seminar
Hope you're keeping cool in spite of all that hot weather. It's been several seeks since we met at one of your seminars for the UCG, in Warrenton (Missouri). My wife and I and my son thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. It was just excellent ! We have downloaded some of your articles since, and enjoy the material. It was a pleasure to meet you and quite an education to listen to you. Thank you. You are a blessing to all of us. May God keep blessing you with more understanding.
UCG Elder's comments about Noah's Ark and Early Man Seminars presented in Missouri
Mr. Mendez,
Thanks for sharing your expertise in your "The Fossil Record of Early Man" seminar at the Winter Family Weekend. We really appreciated your professional, packed, and uplifting presentation. You have such a skill for making the complicated scientific details manageable and memorable. It was refreshing to hear the other side of the creation/evolution debate we have been bombarded with in schools and it strengthens our faith knowing that the scientists have skewed the facts and God's word stands true. Thanks again for taking the time to prepare and present such a helpful presentation.

I want to thank you for your presentation and for all the effort you put into this VERY important study. You have enlightened me and taught this "old dog" some new tricks. Your website is great.

Mr. Mendez,
I want to thank you for your all-day seminar with us in Lansing yesterday. I was absolutely captivated the entire time. Thank you so much for the kind of wonderful presentation that is needed to answer evolutionists and strengthen God's people. I have already told others about your website...eventually I will explore all that you have there.

Hello Mr. Mendez,
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the interesting presentation that you had given in Phoenix. The information that you have researched would have been so good when my five sons were still in school with all the evolution stuff that was so prevalent. We all did learn much from you and we thank you for all the hard work you have done to bring us this information in these most trying end times. I am sending your website to my sister in Wisconsin who is home schooling her four children at the present time. God truly is the master scientist of all!!

The two seminars that Arnold Mendez conducted in the church were fascinating and enlightening as they always are. I just thought you all would enjoy hearing that we had 19 new people that attended, not counting UCG members visiting.... These were the result of an article in the newspaper and the letters to Good News subscribers. Time will tell if any show an interest in the Church any time soon. Regardless of that, it was a good opportunity to be a light to them and to sow some seeds of Truth.
UCG Pastor's comments about the Noah's Ark and Early Man Seminars
Dear Mr. Mendez:
I recently saw your two-hour seminar about creation and Noah's Ark. This was on one of the cable stations I sometimes watch. What a tremendous amount of time and research devoted to such a relevant subject. Thank you for your God given mind and desire to combat all that the evolutionists try to ram down our throats. You made the book of Genesis come alive. Every word you said shows the power of the Almighty--the Creator.
Noah's Ark Seminar MCTV Broadcast Portland OR
A great big thanks for the Noah's Ark presentation and all the work you both did in setting things up for our learning. We believe that everyone present came away with a greater appreciation of God's power and an increased sense of awe in the creation. We are happy that you have been able to share your studies with so many people. Your models, diagrams, artifacts help us see the enormity of what God orchestrated through Noah. It's very helpful to see that proper interpretation of evidences around us support the Biblical record and that much of "evolutionary science" so called roots itself in a bias against God. We hope and pray that God will continue to bless your efforts to bring glory to him through sharing your studies.
Noah's Ark Seminar Corpus Christi, TX
Dear Mr. Mendez:
Just wanted to say, "THANK YOU!", for your very interesting and inspiring lecture on the Giving & Sharing forum. Our Fellowship Group (about 12 strong this morning) called a special Bible Study in order to join in for your talk. We have also listened in for your other two lectures. I had already listened to a similar lecture at your website so I was already somewhat familiar with the material but it was definitely new to the rest of the group. Although it was somewhat depressing to listen to the depths man is able to sink to, it is inspiring to see how the fossil record truly validates the Biblical record rather than the fantasy of evolution.
After the call-in, we had a nice lunch and then regular Sabbath Services. We were certainly fed both physically and spiritually!
Anyway, thanks again for your dedication and work on this subject.

Dear Mr. Mendez,
I very much appreciated being invited to attend the "Noah's Ark-Early Man Seminar" which you presented at the United Church of God Sabbath Services. Thank you for your very feasible and reasonable explanations of how scientific discoveries and the Biblical accounts can be harmonized.
I particularly liked the model of the Ark that must have taken many painstaking hours of research and work to create. These are a wonderful asset to enhance your presentations. I sincerely look forward to studying in dept the valuable material you have compiled on this subject.
Good News Reader Invitee Noah's Ark Early Man Seminars Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Dear Mr. Mendez,
Your presentation was interesting, enlightening and very much appreciated by our congregation here in Indianapolis. Thank you so much for taking so much time out of your busy schedule to present this to the Brethren.
Noah's Ark and Early Man Seminars Indianapolis, IN
The Spokane, Washington/Post Falls, Idaho, UCG congregation hosted the Noah's Ark/Early Man Seminar presented by Arnold Mendez Jan. 17 and 18, 2003. Mr. Mendez presented a teen Bible study on Jan. 17. The following day Mr. Mendez presented his information in a double-service format. Visitors included members from around the state of Washington and Good News subscribers in the area were also invited.
The morning session addressed subjects such as Noah's Ark, the Flood, the ages of biblical patriarchs and the ages of people after the Flood, the presence of shells and sedimentary deposits on Mt. Everest and in the Rockies, the presence of man for about 6,000 years on earth and the prehistoric fossil record, the biblical reference to giants, the connection between Greek/Roman heroes and biblical people, and animals' nature (before and after the Flood). Afterward Mr. Mendez entertained questions.
The afternoon session included information on early man. Mr. Mendez presented evidence that evolutionists have manipulated data and fossils to fit their "philosophy." One example he cited was that scientists have changed the shape of fossil skulls to support their evolutionary ideas. He said evolution is not provable. The problem is not the fossils; it is the interpretation of ideas.
Before the morning session, during the lunch break and after the afternoon session, the attendees were able to view the many displays and models that Mr. Mendez brought with him. The seminar was very well attended. The information is vital to help our young people make intelligent decisions, so that they can clearly prove God and creation for themselves and be able to explain it to peers. (Karen Allwine)
UCG United News Article May 2003 Title: Noah's Ark Early Man Seminars Presented in Spokane
Hello Mr. Mendez,
Thank you once again for coming and presenting your seminars here. They were very stimulating, and I had a lot of positive feedback from lots of people. I personally had not previously heard several of the theories, concepts, and facts you presented. The "plywood" explanation of gopher wood was fascinating, and related to that, the capabilities of Neanderthal technology.

Dear Mr. Mendez,
Thanks for coming to Reno. The seminar was great--full of energy. We had a great learning experience, great visuals in your presentation. Thank you for sharing your research and passion for the truth. Thank you so much for coming and sharing your knowledge with us. It was truly fascinating and we appreciate it. It was very, very good.

Dear Mr. Mendez,
Hello! I am a member of the scattered Church of God...I just wanted to drop you a note of appreciation...for the message you delivered through the phone-in forum...I am one of about 13 that meet every Sabbath in one of the member's home (we alternate between two homes). We had also participated when you had brought a previous presentation about Noah's Ark. We found both presentations very scintillating and informative and we all just wanted to thank you for your time and effort in doing the very exhaustive research on this early part of mankind's history.
In our post-mortem discussion, a couple of question did arise which we would like to ask you.........
Thank you in advance to your attention to these inquiries. And thank you again, for your devotion to the subject and working selflessly to educate the Church of God community and beyond. We pray that God will bless your efforts!

Hi Arnold,
Thanks for all the great information you gave us at the Lexington seminar. I am so glad you can talk so fast because I very much appreciated all the knowledge you shared with us. Most of what you shared was information I have never heard before - but so logical. I now have a ready and logical way to explain my beliefs more fully. Thanks for your help.
It was great to see both you and your lovely wife. I always look forward to seeing you.
I am praying your return home was easy & uneventful.

Mr. Mendez,
Thank you for taking your time to travel and present the seminar on early man this past weekend in Lexington. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts about carbon dating after services...Again thank you for your service to the church and our young people!!
Early Man Seminar Lexington, KY
Dear Mr. Mendez,
I thoroughly enjoyed your seminar at the Lexington weekend. I was in the singles group. A friend told me about your Noah's Ark Seminar he had attended one year ago and was so excited. I too am interested in your findings please send me your CD on Early Man or what ever you can. You are such a brave teacher because I know you get grief from your piers about your beliefs. I work at... medical center in New Orleans, LA and I know how professional people are set in their ways. It is very difficult working around these people and trying to live Gods way. I take care of my elderly father and he too will be interested in this information. Thank you so much for all the time you have dedicated to us.

We attended your seminar this past Sabbath in Eugene, Oregon. We learned much and felt the seminar was outstanding.

Hello Arnold,
I was a member of the audience when you last came to Akron, OH for the seminar on early man. I think this was last December or January. My wife and I spoke with you after your presentation for a few brief moments.
I am writing for the purpose of getting copies of your seminars on early man and evolution. I must say, I was very impressed with your knowledge of the subject and your defense of the biblical record of Creation.
Early Man Seminar, Akron, OH
Mr. Mendez,
We would like to thank you for presenting the material on Noah's Ark and the Creation to our Fort Worth congregation a few Sabbaths ago. Our family has been discussing the subject for nearly two weeks, so the topic has certainly been one of great interest to each of us. Our four year old is even intrigued by Noah's Ark, a topic for young and old alike. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you have put into researching the topic, and we also appreciate you sharing your findings with us. It serves as a reinforcement of our faith in the Being capable of accomplishing anything He desire, even flooding an entire planet; and a reminder to be aware of theories and ideas promoted by this world. Thank You!

I want to thank you very much for your seminar in Lafayette this past Sabbath. I learned a great deal. Two of my children both came home from the afternoon seminar just filled with enthusiasm for what they learned. Thanks very much.

Dear Arnold and Janie,
Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your seminar and your company. We've heard so many positive comments about the seminar/sermon and are looking forward to hearing the Early Man Seminar.

Arnold,
I also wanted to thank you so much for sacrificing your time and coming up to our area, It was wonderful. I learned so much--and I am still trying to absorb everything. It was a wonderful seminar and sermon. I heard you ask what you can do to improve the seminar. The only thing that I would change is to increase the time to 10 to 12 hours :-) I know you had so much to share. Probably 10 to 12 hours wouldn't even be enough. Otherwise, seriously, I wouldn't change a thing it was fantastic.

Hi Arnold,
I just got back from Waco where I attended the seminar you gave on Noah's Ark. It was very enlightening and I learned a great deal. I only wish I could have taken my grandson to see the models of the Ark you built. That was impressive and must have taken a lot of work. I just wanted to thank you for taking your time to come visit us and teach us about Noah's Ark and about debunking the evolutionists. Give my thanks to your wife also for coming with you to visit. I know it is not easy traveling these days.
