What's it all about?

Where do science and faith converge?

Well, an increasing number of scientists are seeing undeniable evidence of design and purpose in the universe — from nanomachines in microscopic cells to finely-tuned physical conditions in our solar system, galaxy, and the universe at large.

Where did that design and purpose come from?

Meanwhile, people of faith the world over have marveled at the power and genius of the designer described in the Bible — a God who creates order and beauty out of chaos.

But is that faith supported by the scientific evidence?

At this unique conference, scientists and theologians will meet to explore this year's theme of Design & Designer: The Convergence of Science & Theology. The event is cosponsored by Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture and Westminster Theological Seminary.

A special track for the youth.

Once again, we will offer a special series of breakout sessions designed for school-aged students. These interactive sessions will help youth to integrate their understanding of science and faith as they enter the world of academia. Consider bringing a group of students from your local school, youth group, or homeschool community.

Lunch in or lunch out?

When selecting your tickets, you can opt to purchase a boxed lunch for an additional $12. You will be given a choice of boxed lunches from Zoës Kitchen — a Grilled Chicken Sandwich (on sourdough bread with feta cheese, caramelized onion, tomato, and lemon dill aioli, with a side of grilled potato salad) or a Greek Salad (romaine and kale topped with crispy chickpeas, cherry tomato, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and Greek vinaigrette). If you opt to purchase a ticket without a boxed lunch, you can bring your own sack lunch or eat out at any number of local restaurants.
