ANCHORAGE, April 17, 2006, /Christian Wire Service/ -- The Alaska Bar Association Convention at the Egan Center in Anchorage will be the scene for a lively discussion on Intelligent Design and Evolution on Friday, April 28, 2006.
Dr. Hugh Ross, founder and president of the science/faith think-tank, Reasons To Believe, and Dr. Jerry Coyne, professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago will go head-to-head in a break out session that is poised to cause enough heat to melt the Harding Icefield.
"It is an honor and a pleasure to be invited to represent creation science at this event," says Dr. Ross. "The topic of human origins is at the center of one of the most heated controversies of our time.
"For the past 20 years the team of scientists at Reasons To Believe has been working to develop a theory for creation that is anchored in the scientific method. I am looking forward to sharing our research at this event."
Immediately following Dr. Ross and Dr. Coyne, legal experts Dr. Jeremy Gunn from the ACLU and Kelly Shackelford from Liberty Legal Institute will debate the politically charged issue of the Separation of Church and State in the Public Schools.
