Nothing Could Be Finer than Studying Intelligent Design, in Seattle in July: Summer Seminars Are Coming

Global warming got you down? Don’t let it.

Arguably, no season anywhere on the planet is more lovely than summer in the Pacific Northwest. That’s why each year Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture sponsors two intensive nine-day seminars, combining intellectual stimulation at the highest level with an idyllic seasonal setting, right here in Seattle.

Our next summer seminars are from July 10-18, 2015. If you’re a match for this outstanding program, consider applying now.

The seminars are designed primarily for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students, but each year we try to reserve a few spaces for a special cohort of professors, scientists, teachers, pastors, and other professionals. Applicants may choose from two tracks.

The CSC Seminar on Intelligent Design in the Natural Sciences will prepare students to make research contributions advancing the growing science of intelligent design. The seminar will explore cutting-edge ID work in fields such as molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, developmental biology, paleontology, computational biology, ID-theoretic mathematics, cosmology, physics, and the history and philosophy of science. This seminar is open to students who intend to pursue graduate studies in the natural sciences or the philosophy of science. Applicants must be college juniors or seniors or already in graduate school.

The C.S. Lewis Fellows Program on Science and Society will explore the growing impact of science on politics, economics, social policy, bioethics, theology, and the arts. The program is named for celebrated British writer C.S. Lewis, a perceptive critic of both scientism and technocracy in books such as The Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength. This seminar is open to college and university students who intend to pursue careers in the social sciences, humanities, law, or theology.

Students selected for these seminars will be provided with course materials, lodging, and most meals. Travel scholarships are available and will be awarded based upon need after acceptance into the program.

Help us educate the next generation of scientists and scholars!

If you are not a candidate for this program, but know students who might be, please help us by referring potential applicants to this post and encourage them to apply as soon as possible.

Also, please consider making a donation to help fund the cost of the seminars. Your support will allow us to educate a new generation of scientists, scholars, and educators who have the desire, the vision and the determination to breathe new purpose into the scientific enterprise and influence its self-understanding in ways that will benefit both science and humanity.
