Why:

To seek answers to these important questions: Are science and faith in God compatible? Atheists in science say no. Philosopher of biology Paul Nelson says yes.

Intelligent Design: the Beauty and Design of Butter ies

7:30 PM 8:00 PM Q&A

The Beauty and Design of Butter ies

Throughout history, butter ies have fascinated artists and philosophers, scientists and schoolchildren with their profound mystery and beauty. In Metamorphosis you will explore their remarkable world as few ever have before. Spectacular photography, computer animation and magnetic resonance imaging open once hidden doors to every stage of a butter y's life-cycle. From an egg the size of a pinhead to a magni cent ying insect. It is a transformation so incredible biologists have called it "butter y magic." The butter y's superbly engineered body is magni ed hundreds of times to reveal compound eyes made of thousands of individual lenses, wings covered with microscopic solar panels, and navigational systems that unerringly guide Monarch butter ies on their annual migration from Canada to Mexico. How did these extraordinary creatures come into being? Are they the products of a blind, undirected process? Or were they designed by an intelligent cause? Filmed in North, Central, and South America, Metamorphosis is an unforgettable documentary lled with the joys of discovery and wonder.
