Speaking engagement: God, Evolution, and Catholics, and zinger sauce on the side

by Denyse O'Leary
ARN correspondent

Okay, pass on the zinger sauce. There's no insurance against head explosions.

I will be speaking at the God and Evolution event at Biola University in Los Angeles, October 16, 2010, on "Catholics and Evolution", from 10:50 - 11:15 am. They want $25 but the event lasts from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m, seems to include lunch, and a free copy of the book in which I have a chapter, God and Evolution.

Here are the details:

God And Evolution:

Protestants, Catholics, and Jews Explore Darwin's Challenge to Faith
with Marvin Olasky, Ph.D., Jonathan Wells, Ph.D., Ph.D., Jay Richards, Ph.D., Denyse O'Leary, John West, Ph.D., David Klinghoffer, Casey Luskin, J.D., Craig J. Hazen, Ph.D., John Bloom, Ph.D., Ph.D.

Can you believe in God and evolution at the same time? What is "theistic" evolution, and how consistent is it with traditional theism? What challenges does Darwin's theory pose for Protestants, Catholics, and Jews? Is it "anti-science" to question Darwinian theory? Explore these questions and more at this upcoming conference at Biola University.

Sponsored by the Discovery Institute and Biola's Master of Arts in Science and Religion.

Basically, I will be talking about current misrepresentations of Catholic teachings on evolution, enthusiastically promoted by Darwinists to create unwitting support for materialist atheism. My focus will be the great turn-of-the-twentieth century Catholic writers, who had the scam figured out, but were not able to stem the tide of accommodation to fashionable materialism. Anyway, I'd love to meet you if you can come.
