Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from Discovery Institute Vice President and Center for Science & Culture Managing Director John G. West as he presents for Coram Deo Church on June 1. Drawing from his new book, Stockholm Syndrome Christianity, Dr. West will examine the widespread sexual brokenness in our society — and how we can heal it. In particular, Dr. West will discuss the role Darwin’s theory of evolution played in giving rise to a destructive view of sexual morality. Over time, this paved the way for society to simply dismiss traditional sexual ethics as antiquated or even “anti-science.” But, did we get that right? Dr. West will explain how a return to biblical sexuality can offer hope to our culture. Come learn how you can be a part of this …

Historically, the Summer Seminar program organized by the Center for Science & Culture has included two seminars offered concurrently: the Seminar on Intelligent Design in the Natural Sciences, designed for students and professionals in the natural sciences and the history and philosophy of science, and the C.S. Lewis Fellows Program on Science and Society, designed primarily for students and professionals in the humanities, social sciences, law, and theology. In the past, we have held these programs in person and participants have joined us from all over the world. Due to the volatility and uncertainty of international travel, however, we have decided to reserve the above seminars for U.S. participants and instead offer a third program combining both tracks described …
