SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Michael and Diane Medved, will conduct a traditional Sabbath blessing during the opening dinner. After dinner, CSC Director Stephen C. Meyer will interview bestselling author George Gilder (whose new book Knowledge and Power will be released this summer) on the impact of intelligent design on his thinking about the new information economy

On Saturday, participants will hear from Douglas Axe about new scientific research being done by the Biologic Institute, from Paul Nelson and Ann Gauger on the science behind Illustra Media’s new documentary Flight: The Genius of Birds, and from Michael and Diane Medved about the cultural impact of materialism. In addition, throughout the day there will be updates and previews of coming attractions and upcoming video productions, and much more.

The weekend will culminate with a lecture and book party featuring Center Director Dr. Stephen Meyer. In his forthcoming book, Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design, Dr. Meyer showcases cutting-edge scientific developments that will dominate the debate over Darwinism and intelligent design for years to come.

Throughout the 2-day event participants will be updated on our accomplishments in 2012-2013 and our strategic plans for 2013-14. Stephen C. Meyer, Director of the Center for Science and Culture, and other CSC fellows and staff are eager to share about the many ways our work is making a difference in the U.S. and internationally.

As in the past, this event will be held at various venues in downtown Seattle, where participants will also be able to enjoy a host of summer activities in the heart of one of the most vibrant cities in America.
