The Legacy of Darwin Intelligent Design Conference
October 30, 2009 - October 31, 2009
Douglas County Event Center, Castle Rock, Colorado
This year marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his culture-shaking book,
On the Origin of Species. What has been the cultural impact of a century-and-a-half of Darwinism? And what is the ground-breaking evidence for intelligent design?
The answers to these questions will be explored at the
Legacy of Darwin Intelligent Design Conference on October 30-31 in Castle Rock, Colorado. Sponsored by Shepherd Project Ministries, this conference features several speakers from Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, including
Dr. Stephen Meyer, author of
The Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design;
Dr. Michael Behe, author of
Darwin's Black Box and
The Edge of Evolution;
Dr. David Berlinski, author of
The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions; and
Dr. John G. West, author of
Darwin Day in America: How Our Politics and Culture Have Been Dehumanized in the Name of Science.
