The presentations at this conference promoted several sides of the debate on evolution vs. creation.  Intelligent design seeks to find a scientifically viable alternative to Darwinian biology yet at the same time stay away from sectarian issues that could exclude it from the public school arena.  Some of the speakers are Darwinian in outlook and yet have very good issues to address.  These tapes will be an excellent resource for high school and college science teachers and students.  These are not Orthodox teaching.  It is not our regular fare.  For that, see the rest of the catalog.
