I can't wait for this discussion: Science and Faith: Friends or Foes? - Oct. 12 & 13

Science and Faith: Friends or Foes?

October 12, 2012 - October 13, 2012 - FREE for Students
Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis

Are science and faith compatible? Does biology support or undercut human uniqueness? Is there evidence that life and the universe were intelligently designed? Explore these questions and more at this special two-day conference to be held October 12-13, 2012 on the campus of Covenant Seminary in St. Louis.

Featured speakers include Dr. Jay Richards, co-author of The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed For Discovery and editor of God and Evolution: Protestants, Catholics, and Jews Explore Darwin’s Challenge to Faith; Dr. Ann Gauger, senior research biologist at the Biologic Institute and co-author of the new book Science and Human Origins; Dr. C. John Collins, Professor of Old Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary and author of Science and Faith: Friends or Foes? and Did Adam and Eve Really Exist?; Dr. Paul Nelson, Adjunct Professor of Science and Religion at Biola University and featured science expert in documentaries such as Metamorphosis and Unlocking the Mystery of Life; and Dr. John West, author of Darwin Day in America and editor of The Magician’s Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society.

Sessions will explore the compatibility of science and faith; the impact of Darwinian evolution on ethics, society, and theology; debates over human origins and human uniqueness; the scientific evidence for intelligent design in cosmology and biology; and C.S. Lewis’s prophetic insights into both the benefits and limits of modern science.

The conference starts Friday night and concludes Saturday evening with the premiere of The Magician’s Twin, a new documentary about C.S. Lewis’s views on science and scientism. The screening will be followed by discussion and Q and A with the contributors to a new book of the same name.

The best way to change government...

...is to change the people in government! 

(And keep the few willing to fight against status quo...)

I'm passing along a notice about a Missouri Precinct Project (MOPP) training session in Jeff City on Oct. 1, which focuses on teaching YOU how to meet your neighbors to find like-mind voters to influence, and ultimately, change (hold accountable) who is in Washington (and in all the other little offices too.)

MOPP is hosting a training session in Jefferson City on Saturday, Oct 1.,  and I encourage you to attend. We cannot rely on the Party system to pick and elect our candidates any longer. Change requires YOUR action. I'll be there and I hope you can make it too. 

Volunteers and friends of MOPP:

You probably have heard or seen the announcements by American Majority, a national non-profit, non-partisan political training institute and that they are starting national training seminars across the country on September 17, 2011. Well, the Missouri Precinct Project (MOPP) is one of the first organizations to have a joint training session with American Majority on Saturday, October 1, 2011 in Jefferson City.  Go to our website www.moprecinctproject.org - it also has a link to American Majority and sign up for this fabulous training online as soon as possible.

American Majority is a national organization that has developed state of the art training tools that our volunteers can use and they will benefit from the expertise that American Majority has developed. It would be well worth your time to come to this training and learn the latest strategies of how to take back our country one neighborhood at a time. I would love to see you there.

I know - there is a debate scheduled for that date between Ann Wagner and Ed Martin. They are both running for Congress from the 2nd Congressional District. But they'll have more debates. I know, because I already scheduled their debate for Bonhomme Township in December. So you won't have to miss our favorite candidate for this important office.

Hope to see you in Jefferson City on Saturday, October 1, 2011 and really find out how to walk your neighborhood.

PS....to my friends who are elected officials, I hope you do not take offense to my suggestion that you should be removed from office. The point is not that everyoneshould be removed, but that the people in government are who shape its actions.

BIO:

She has been a national leader of the conservative movement since the publication of her best-selling 1964 book, A Choice Not An Echo, and a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972, when she started her national volunteer organization now called Eagle Forum. In a ten-year battle, Mrs. Schlafly led the pro-family movement to victory over the principal legislative goal of the radical feminists, called the Equal Rights Amendment, and she is America's most articulate and successful opponent of the radical feminist movement.

Mrs. Schlafly's monthly newsletter call The Phyllis Schlafly Report is now in its 44th year. Her syndicated column appears in 100 newspapers, her radio commentaries are heard daily on 500 stations, and her radio talk show on education "Phyllis Schlafly Live" is heard on 70 stations.

Mrs. Schlafly is the author or editor of 20 books on various topics and her latest book is The Flipside of Feminism. She has served as a member of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, appointed by President Reagan and has testified before more than 50 Congressional and State Legislative committees on constitutional, national defense, and family issues.

Mrs. Schlafly received her J.D. from Washington University Law School and her Master's in Political Science from Harvard University. In 2008 she was awarded an honorary degree: Doctor of Humane Letters from Washington University.
