Socrates at Saddlebrooke

The scientific evidence from the Big Bang model along with astronomical observation tell us that the universe was born 13.8 billion years ago and formed planet Earth 4.5 billion years ago. Also born in that first moment were the natural laws that govern the universe’s birth, death, and operation. Theists can’t imagine a universe born without a Creator, let alone imagine laws coming into existence without a Lawgiver.

Where does the information in DNA come from? It can only come from nature or from intelligent design. View the evidence on both sides in the Origin of Life Videocast, Part Three:

Join us on February 16th for Part 2 of the Origin of the Species!

Since the Human Genome Project team revealed its amazing results in 2000 (discussed at the last Forum), researchers have since discovered that the living cell has a complete written language and recipe for building life; an Instruction Manual that directs the cell’s operation; and the engineering and manufacturing processes that reveal its design by an intelligent agent. This is a revolutionary revelation and one not easily accepted by the Academy which is steeped in materialistic philosophy. DNA is Biology’s most amazing discovery. What is the scientific evidence for intelligent design of the cell? What does it tell us about evolution and Origin of Life research?

Stu will give a 40 minute lecture and then open it up for Q&A and starting a conversation. These events are a great place for you to meet other curious-minded people and learn more about our Socrates@SaddleBrooke club.

The School of Athens fresco in the Vatican by Raphael, 1509 A.D. The fresco represents the greatest philosophers and scientists from classical antiquity gathered together sharing their ideas and learning from each other. These figures all lived at different times, but here they are gathered together under one roof.

Join us for a FREE event! DNA – What is it? What Does It Reveal About Our Origin?

In the previous Socrates Forum, Stu Orr discussed the amazing and unexpected information that is found in our DNA and Genetic Code. Mark your calendars for the upcoming Socrates Forum, January 19, when we will look deep into the cell and discover the remarkable engineering that is directed by that information and why it reveals Intelligent Design.

A discussion period will follow the presentation. A number of Socrates at SaddleBrooke reference books are available to borrow. Come and put on your Socrates personae and be prepared to think, question, and investigate the evidence for yourself, then follow the trail wherever it may lead.

When: Wednesday, January 19, 2022
Time: 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
Where: The Catalina Room
In the Mountain View Mesquite Building (Next to the Golf Shop)

THE ORIGIN OF LIFE - PART 3 VIDEOCAST IS HERE!

The current videocast reveals the evidence for perhaps the hugest mystery in the Origin of Life question. Where does the information come form that is in our DNA and drives our development from conception to expiration? Material and natural processes alone cannot produce that kind of information – only an intelligent agent can.

Once life got started, did creatures continually evolve in an increasingly complex manner over time as Darwin described? Or did God intervene in miraculous, creative ways? What does the fossil record show? What does the biochemical evidence tell us about Darwinism? Is Darwinian evolution compatible with the Genesis account?

This month’s Forum on October 20 will feature a topic of interest to both believers and skeptics, ORIGIN OF LIFE - Has Science Discovered the Creator? This month we examine how life originated on Earth. In this first of a multi-part series we will discuss the scientific search for the origin of life and the surprising lack of progress toward a naturalistic explanation. Instead, is the data suggesting that life was the direct result of a Creator? What does the current scientific research tell us? Join us on October 20th and feel free to bring your friends!

Join us on September 22nd, in person!

At this live event, we will give a 40 minute presentation, and you get to ask and discuss questions, review and borrow books, and participate with others in starting great conversations about the BIG questions of life!

Feel free to invite friends!
