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.”
Whether you join us in the Dallas area or online, you’ll learn about…
- The miracle of butterfly metamorphosis (Paul Nelson)
- The amazing honeybee (Eric Hedin)
- The scientific evidence of the human soul (Michael Egnor)
- The intelligent design of plants (Emily & Daniel Reeves)
- The theory of ID as fuel for scientific discovery (Casey Luskin)
- The origin of animal body plans (Stephen Meyer)
In addition to these, in-person attendees can choose from special breakout sessions presented by John West, Richard Sternberg, George Montanez, Ray Bohlin, and Stephen Dilley. See a tentative schedule below.
Other perks to joining in person include…
- Live musical performance on the theme of the conference
