“The Story of Everything” Pre-Release Screening at Biola University

Come see a special pre-release screening of the new documentary, The Story of Everything at Biola University on Wednesday, April 22, almost a week before its official release in theaters. Following the exclusive screening, a panel discussion and Q&A session will include CSC Director Stephen C. Meyer, CSC Senior Fellows Douglas Axe and Richard Gunasekera, and Discovery Institute Board Member Walter Myers III, all of whom appear as expert witnesses in the film.

The event is free but registration is required due to limited space. To register, please visit the university event page.

A message from the organizers:

Does science point to the existence of God? Join us at Biola University on April 22nd for an exclusive, free pre-screening of the groundbreaking new documentary, The Story of Everything.

From the producers of After Death and executive producer Lee Strobel, this cinematic journey explores the latest evidence from cosmology, physics, and molecular biology. The film challenges the narrative that the universe is a cosmic accident, revealing instead the “hidden hand” and intentional design woven into the fabric of the stars and the code of our DNA.

Following the screening, stay for an in-depth panel discussion and Q&A session featuring several of the world-class scholars and scientists appearing in the film:

Dr. Stephen Meyer (Philosopher of science and author of Return of the God Hypothesis)
Dr. Doug Axe (Molecular Biologist and author of Undeniable)
Dr. Richard Gunasekera (Professor of Biological Sciences and Biochemistry)
Walter Myers III (Technologist and philosopher)
Dr. Mihretu Guta (Philosopher and neuroethics scholar)

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the film before its nationwide theatrical release and engage directly with the experts on the intersection of science and faith.

Speakers

Douglas Axe

_{Rosa Endowed Chair of Molecular Biology at Biola University, Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture}

Douglas Axe is the Rosa Endowed Chair of Molecular Biology at Biola University, the founding Director of Biologic Institute, the founding Editor of BIO-Complexity, and the author of Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed. After completing his PhD at Caltech, he held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre. His research, which examines the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems, has been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, BIO-Complexity, and Nature, and in such books as Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer and Life’s Solution by Simon Conway Morris.

Richard Gunasekera

_{Research Professor of Science, Technology, Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, and Health at Biola University, Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture}

Richard Gunasekera is Research Professor of Science, Technology and Health at Biola University, and holds professorships in Biological Sciences and Biochemistry. He has enjoyed a 20-year career in higher education as Professor and a scientist in the field of Biochemical Genetics and Forensic Science. He earned his bachelor’s in biochemistry at Baylor University, a master’s degree in bio-organic chemistry from the University of Houston-Clear Lake, a master’s in molecular genetics and a doctorate in Biomedical Sciences at the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. He has held faculty and research positions at Rice University in Houston, Texas A&M University Health Science Center, and the University of Houston-Victoria. His research now spans several interdisciplinary fields such as biochemical genetics, nanomedicine, forensic science, and cancer biology. Gunasekera’s work is focused on using nanomedicine to kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria and viruses which he conducts with collaborators such as Dr. James Tour and others at his home institution. He has recently published molecular findings regarding the SARS CoV-2 virus and potential prevention methodologies of COVID-19 that were cited by WHO-related investigators early in the pandemic. Richard and his wife Nisha have two children.

Stephen C. Meyer

_{Director, Center for Science and Culture}

Dr. Stephen C. Meyer received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in the philosophy of science. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery Institute in Seattle. He is author of the New York Times-bestseller Darwin’s Doubt (2013) as well as the book Signature in the Cell (2009) and Return of the God Hypothesis (2021). In 2004, Meyer ignited a firestorm of media and scientific controversy when a biology journal at the Smithsonian Institution published his peer-reviewed scientific article advancing intelligent design. Meyer has been featured on national television and radio programs, including The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, CBS’s Sunday Morning, NBC’s Nightly News, ABC’s World News, Good Morning America, Nightline, FOX News Live, and the Tavis Smiley show on PBS. He has also been featured in two New York Times front-page stories and has garnered attention in other top-national media.

Walter Myers III
