God's Grandeur: The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design

Ann Gauger will give an overview of her just published anthology of Catholic thinking on intelligent design. Her book is entitled "God's Grandeur: The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design" wherein a distinguished group of experts in their respective fields examine ID from the standpoints of science, philosophy and theology.

ABOUT THE NORTH SEATTLE INTELLIGENT DESIGN FORUM

Intelligent design is on pace to become the most widely accepted explanation of life on Earth. How did this happen? If you are curious and would like to learn more then please consider attending one of our Meetups. Advanced knowledge of biology is not required. Membership in this Meetup group is not required to attend. Skeptics are most welcome.

Intelligent design is nothing new. Newton, Kepler, Pasteur and many other scientists believed they were illuminating intelligent design by means of the scientific method. Likewise, evolution is not new. Anaximander, Zhuang Zhou and Lucretius speculated about evolution millennia before Charles Darwin. The post-WWII revolution in microscopy undermined the foundations of evolution with the discovery of the cell’s unanticipated complexity. The implications of that complexity, along with other experimental and theoretical advances, are claimed to have all but ruled out the possibility of descent with modification by means of natural selection acting on random mutation. Come see if you agree.
