Exclusive Opening-Night Screening of “The Story of Everything”

Attention Seattle-area friends of Discovery Institute!

We are pleased to announce a special opening-night film screening of the new feature-length film, The Story of Everything, which follows the eye-opening story told in Stephen Meyer’s 2021 bestseller, Return of the God Hypothesis (HarperOne).

Set to release in hundreds of theaters across the country starting April 30th, this new film combines insightful interviews, complex animations, and stunningly beautiful footage to showcase the intelligent design and fine-tuning of our universe and especially living things. From the precise laws that govern the stars to the genetic “signature” in every living cell, The Story of Everything is a cinematic exploration of the hidden hand behind our cosmos.

By joining this special screening hosted by Regal Cinemas in Renton, you’ll get to enjoy the new film in all its big-screen glory. After the film, stick around for special remarks and audience Q&A with Discovery Institute scientists interviewed in the film or involved behind the scenes, including Associate Director Casey Luskin and Research Coordinator Brian Miller.

Purchase your tickets today as seating is limited. Concessions can be purchased from Regal Cinemas upon arrival.
