All Creatures Great & Small

From the smallest honeybee to the greatest whale, planet Earth is swarming with creatures of all shapes and sizes — each intelligently designed for their habitats. Where did they all come from and what are the implications for our faith in a creative God?

Join us at the 7th Annual Dallas Conference on Science & Faith on February 8 at Denton Bible Church or via livestream for a stimulating series of talks on the theme of “All Creatures Great & Small.”
