In anticipation of Darwin’s 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, Reasons To Believe (RTB) is hosting a conference featuring biochemist Fazale Rana, PhD, and astronomer Hugh Ross, PhD.   Rana, Ross, along with astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink, PhD, and philosopher Kenneth Samples, contend that if Darwin had possessed today’s data, he may have formed different conclusions. The purpose of this conference is to encourage dialogue between science and the Christian faith.  As part of the presentation the scholars will show how creation can work as science.

 

Lecture topics include the historic Christian view of humanity, big bang cosmology and apparent cosmic design, junk DNA’s functionality, and the fossil record’s contradiction of evolutionary predictions.  Each lecture concludes with a time of Q & A.  Saturday also includes a one-hour breakout session and the musical presentation OF THIS EARTH by Alexandra Bryant with the Aeolus String Quartet and Asaph Dance Ensemble.

 

The entire two-day conference is open to the public, registration is required.  Friday, October 24ths event is free. Tickets for Saturday, October 25 are $40 for adults and $20 for students.
