Lecture Series

Science lectures for the whole family

Why a Lecture Series?

We have developed our lecture series for students and adults who want to learn more about science, Intelligent Design and natural history from a creationist point of view.

Our science lectures give important definition to why we believe that the evolutionary explanation for life’s origin is inadequate to explain the complexity and design in the world around us.

Our speakers are from a broad range of fields and specialties, and are comprised of both professional and layman scientists.

Get Notified By Email 

If you sign up for our free mailing list you will be notified by email about upcoming lectures. You will also receive our free newsletter.

Lecture Cost?

A donation of $3 per person or $10 per family is appreciated. The lectures are separate from the Science Center's admission prices for guided tours and Truassic Park.
