2nd Annual European Conference on Intelligent Design

Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture is co-sponsoring the 2nd Annual European Conference on Intelligent Design with TDI Brasil, Discovery Mackenzie, and Fundation Dignidad Y Liberdad.

In its first year, this event was initially planned in Faro, Portugal. After pushback from local activists, it was moved to Porto, Portugal and — after further pushback — to its ultimate location in Leon, Spain. The opposition, which claimed that the conference was not truly of a scientific nature, served only to increase interest from local students and the community. In the end, a charter bus was provided to bring students from Portugal to Spain — traveling 2,000 km round-trip to reach the event. You can read the full story here. After a great turnout, the organizers are excited to offer yet another highly anticipated conference.

Held in the Teatro San Francisco in Leon, the 2nd Annual European Conference on Intelligent Design will feature Discovery Institute Research Coordinator Dr. Brian Miller, Brazilian chemist Dr. Marcos Eberlin, as well as Drs. Antonio Martinez, Felipe Aizpun, and Alejandro Garcia of Spain. Conference sessions will cover evidence for intelligent design from a variety of scientific disciplines.
