Designed to Diversify Seminar
Dr. Randy Guliuzza will speak on biblical creation at the Designed to Diversify Seminar at Independent Bible Church.
Psychological research shows that humans in every culture perceive designed features and naturally infer they had designers. If this is the case, then the persuasive power in life’s designs is an enormously underused gift from God in apologetic defenses. Design-based explanations of creature features given from an engineer’s perspective bring scientific clarity to apologetics discussions by demystifying fallacious Darwinian origins explanations. If you can properly identify the cause of an organism’s dramatic capacity to adapt—better yet, self-adjust— to different environments, you’re on your way to the most powerful argument against death and survival-driven naturalistic evolution. This strategy points to a beneficent intelligent Designer consistent with the God of the Bible.

| 9:15 a.m. | Dr. Randy Gulliuzza | “Great Answers to Three Key Questions†| This dynamic message will ask and answer three important questions relevant to the creation-evolution debate that every Christian should know. 1. How do you interpret and understand Genesis 1 and 2? 2. What is your take on Darwinian evolution and its compatibility with Christian faith? 3. Are you open to the natural world pointing to design? Why or why not? You could be asked these same basic questions by a coworker, your next-door neighbor, or the person worshiping next to you at church. Come and enjoy a whiteboard talk that will prepare you with the biblical and scientific tools to answer your friends with confidence. td> |

| 6:40 p.m. | Dr. Randy Gulliuzza | Replacing Darwin’s Sacred Imposter | Why did Darwin invent the concept of "natural selection?" Is his concept consistent with the nature of a loving Creator described in the Bible? Nothing could liberate our thinking about biology more than a willingness to replace Darwinism’s random mutations and “natural selection†with a fully design-based approach once and for all. |

| 6:30 p.m. | Pastor Johnson | Welcome | |
| 6:40 p.m. | Dr. Randy Gulliuzza | Anticipatory Systems: Planning Today for Tomorrow’s Challenges | Are creatures active trackers of environmental change? Do their innate systems enable them to continuously fill new niches, or do geological and climatic pressures drive adaptation in relatively passive organisms? There is increasing evidence that God engineered creatures with systems to detect changes in myriads of external conditions and then make suitable self-adjustments. |
| 7:40 p.m. | Dr. Randy Gulliuzza | Major Evolutionary Blunders: What They Were and Why They Happened | We will examine several evolutionary blunders that demonstrate how exuberant extrapolations of vivid evolutionary imagination explains why evolutionists have made, and will continue to make, embarrassing scientific blunders. |
| 8:30 p.m. | Pastor Johnson | Q&A Session | |
| 9:00 p.m. | Pastor Johnson | Closing | |
