Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Jonathan Wells
Join us for a special event commemorating the life and enduring impact of Jonathan Wells, a pioneering scholar in the field of intelligent design. Up until his recent passing in September, Dr. Wells made significant contributions to science and culture through his groundbreaking research, provocative writings, and deep commitment to intellectual inquiry.
With two PhDs—one in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California at Berkeley and one in Religious Studies from Yale University—Dr. Wells brought a unique perspective to his work, which included articles in respected journals like Development and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. His books, including Icons of Evolution, Zombie Science, and The Myth of Junk DNA, challenged prevailing scientific paradigms and sparked important conversations on the nature of evolutionary theory and intelligent design.
During this celebration of life, his son, Peter Wells, will share personal remembrances of his father. Close colleagues from the Discovery Institute—Paul Nelson, Richard Sternberg, and Casey Luskin—will also reflect on Dr. Wells’ profound influence on the field and his legacy as a tireless advocate for scientific integrity and intellectual freedom.
This event is an opportunity to honor Dr. Wells’ contributions to science and culture, as we look to the future of his scholarly influence and the ongoing impact of his work. We invite you to join us in celebrating a life well-lived and a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.
