Intelligent Design Scientists Will Showcase Evidence Challenging Evolution at Knoxville Conference
KNOXVILLE – What is intelligent design and what scientific evidence supports it? Why is it so controversial? How does it differ from Darwin’s theory of evolution? Is there a purpose to the universe? What new scientific facts are turning evolutionary theories upside down? This one-day conference will answer these and other intriguing questions.
The emerging scientific theory of intelligent design is a hot topic at universities and research institutions around the world, and is now the focus of a day-long conference called Darwin vs. Design, coming to the Knoxville Convention Center on March 24th.
Join The New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel and a panel of scientists and experts at the Darwin vs. Design Conference as they explain the evidence for Darwin’s theory of evolution and the emerging scientific theory of intelligent design Saturday, March 24th.
Featured speakers include:
-Lee Strobel, journalist and bestselling author of The Case for a Creator.
-Dr. Stephen Meyer, Director, Center for Science and Culture (CSC) at Discovery Institute, and co-editor of Darwinism, Design, and Public Education
-Dr. Michael Behe, Lehigh University biochemist and author of the bestselling book Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution, and CSC senior fellow
-Dr. Jay Richards, co-author of The Privileged Planet, and CSC senior fellow
Attendees will interact with intelligent design scientists and philosophers whose discoveries in cosmology, biology, physics, and DNA present astonishing scientific evidence that is overturning the evolutionary thinking of the past. Conference goers will hear firsthand the astounding implications these discoveries are having on our society, our politics and our culture.
The conference is $55 for General Admission and $5 for Students and teachers (with valid school ID at time of admission). Advance purchase group rates are also available by contacting conferences@discovery.org. Purchase tickets online at www.ticketweb.com (use key word Darwin).

There's no business like show business.
Someone probably would've said the same thing to Galileo or Copernicus, I'm sure.
crevoping.
Galileo and Copernicus charged the general public for glitzy Power Point displays? LOL
You know what I'm talking about Alter. Let's attempt to keep things civil.
Intelligent Design "Scientists"
Bwaaaaahahahaha!!!
Thanks for the laugh.
I'm not sure I do. You seem to be comparing a bunch of second rate polemicists (Behe, Meyer, et al) with Copernicus and Galileo. Do I really need to dignify that with a response? Just to play along for a moment... what, exactly have they discovered?
Sort of hypocritical when such "ardent supporters" of Galileo and Copernicus hound Creationists.
As with Galileo and Copernicus, let them present their evidence--and then let science take its course.
If you didn't get EarthBound's point, then you can read comment 13. Somewhat the same basic idea.
The "establishment" (whatever the heck that means) has "hounded" (whatever the heck that means) legitimate scientists. It has also rejected the work of innumerable hordes of frauds, fakes and charlatans. Is being rejected by mainstream science your gold standard for authenticity?
As usual, you manage to use a good deal more tact than I could. Yes, that is what I was saying.
I take it Michael Denton will not be presenting.
Opinion: your point was figuratively crystal clear; Alter Kaker just chose not to understand it.
This looks an awful lot like and advertisement. Isn't that against the rules on FR?
Isn't it ironic how the left always spews that there can't be science involved in Creationism but push science in Evolutionism, which is basically a theory, philosophy, with no more proof than Creationism, and demands the same amount of "faith".
