DALLAS, Aug. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Institute for Creation
Research, the premiere creation science institution in the world, is
announcing the first of its 2009 Demand the Evidence conferences, to be
held in Jacksonville, Florida on October 9-10.

Scientists, educators, theologians, and even state politicians have
wrestled with the creation-evolution debate in recent years, but which
theory is correct? Creation? Evolution? Intelligent Design?

Does it matter whether the earth was created in six days or six billion
years? Where does the evidence lead?

Held at the downtown auditorium of ***First Baptist Church
Jacksonville,*** the Demand the Evidence Conference will feature
sessions on both science and faith during the Friday/Saturday event.

Attendees will learn biblical and scientific evidences for the accuracy
and authority of Genesis, the complex design of the human body, the
facts that support recent creation, the flaws in Darwin's theory of
evolution, and much more.

Speakers include Dr. Mac Brunson, Dr. Henry Morris, Dr. Gary Parker, and
Dr. Randy Guliuzza. A Q&A panel discussion will be held on Saturday.

First Baptist is the church that gave me the biggest laughs when I lived
in the Jax area. It had its young teens publicly pledge vows of
chastity, only to encounter a huge increase in the number of teen
pregnancies a few years later. Huge church of simpies. Now, it
apparently is funding an institute of cretinists, er, creationists.
