3rd Annual Westminster Conference on Science and Faith

  /files/Regional Conferences/Westminster Science  Faith Conference.JPG

Does modern biology support or undercut human uniqueness? Are the discoveries of brain research compatible with personal responsibility? What does it really mean to be “created in the image of God?” And what are the social and ethical implications of our view of the human person? Explore these vital questions and more at the third annual Westminster Conference on Science and Faith, to be held on April 14th, 2012 at the ACE Conference Center in greater Philadelphia (www.aceconferencecenter.com). The theme for this year is "Science, Human Origins, & Human Dignity" and will examine scientific evidence for human uniqueness, evolutionary claims  about human origins, theological views of the image of God, the “blame  it on the brain” mentality, and current conflicts over animal rights,  euthanasia, and abortion.

Speakers will include psychologist Edward Welch, author of Blame It on the Brain; physician Michael Emlet, author of CrossTalk: Where Life and Scripture Meet; biologists Richard Sternberg and Ann Gauger of the Biologic Institute; biologist Ray Bohlin of Discovery Institute; Discovery Institute bioethicist Wesley J. Smith, author of A Rat Is A Pig Is A Dog Is A Boy; Biblical scholar C. John Collins, author of Did Adam and Eve Really Exist?; theologians Vern Poythress, K. Scott Oliphint, William Edgar, and David Garner of Westminster Theological Seminary; and social scientist John West of Discovery Institute, author of Darwin Day in America.

This event will be of special interest to seminary students, college students, and pastors and other church leaders. The conference is sponsored by Westminster Theological Seminary (www.wts.edu) and Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture (www.discovery.org).

Plus FREE Pre-Conference Forum (April 13, 7:00 pm): “Science, the Bible, and Adam and Eve: Two Views” featuring C. John Collins, author of Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? and Denis Lamoureux, author of I Love Jesus and I Accept Evolution.
