On September 21, more than a hundred groups across the United States and Canada will host a simulcast on “Science and Faith: Are They Really in Conflict?” The event features Oxford University’s John Lennox, Discovery Institute’s Stephen Meyer, and BreakPoint radio’s Eric Metaxas. The simulcast will run from 6 to 8 pm CST/PST and 7 to 9 pm EST/MNT.

More than sixty co-hosting groups have agreed to make their simulcast available to the general public, so you are cordially invited to attend. See here for a list including contact information.

Here is what’s on the agenda!

Has science disproved God? Or do new scientific discoveries actually provide compelling support for faith? More than half of teens in youth groups plan to pursue careers related to science or technology. Yet surveys show that nearly a third of Christian young people think "churches are out of step with the scientific word we live in," and a quarter of them believe "Christianity is anti-science." These views are likely reinforced when they attend college, where 61 percent of biologists identify as atheists or agnostics according to a recent survey.

Dr. Lennox and Dr. Meyer are two of today’s leading speakers and writers on the intersection between science and faith. The simulcast will be emceed by bestselling author Eric Metaxas, whose speaking style has been described as "a combination of edgy wit, charm, inspiration, evangelization, [and] thoughtfulness" and who is in high demand on college campuses.

Other questions to be addressed during the simulcast include:

• Just how "scientific" are the claims of leading atheists?
• Are human beings the result of an unguided Darwinian process?
• Does nature supply evidence of intelligent design?

The simulcast will be of interest to everyone, but it will be especially helpful for parents and their middle school, high school, and college-age kids. Tell your friends!
