I am really excited about hearing Dennis Venema speak at the upcoming conference on May 11th-14th. He has a particular talent for explaining complicated topics in the areas of genetics and biology in an engaging and informative way. I have personally benefited from listening to his talks on the biological evidence for evolution and cannot recommend his recent book enough. Co-authored with New Testament professor Scot McKnight, Adam and the Genome: Reading Scripture After Genetic Science is a brilliant example of the interplay between science and faith. He has also contributed a great many blog posts to Biologos. On May 12, Dennis will be speaking on home turf, as he is the professor of biology at Trinity Western University where he researches the genetics of pattern formation and signalling using the common fruit fly as the model organism. I am looking forward to hearing what he has to say about “Human Origins and the Species Problem.” Come check it out!
Our upcoming national conference (May 11-14) features a number of plenary and contributed talks that either directly deal with origins or treat issues that are closely related. In particular, our breakout schedule includes many more talks relating to origins to varying degrees:
