“An Augustine Evening with Dr. Stephen C. Meyer”.
JACKSON Tenn (March 20, 2015) — Augustine School hosted the event to support Augustine School’s Realizing the Vision Capital Campaign, particularly the academic centerpiece of the campaign: The Pascal Initiative for Science and Math Education–Augustine’s effort to become the finest science and math school in the region.
More than 300 people attended the event.
Augustine School students sang a Scottish version of Psalm 42, several testimonials were shared, and Dr. Meyer gave an address titled, “Science, God, and the Role of Classical Christian Education.”
Stephen Meyer earned his Ph.D. in the history of science from the University of Cambridge. He currently serves as the Director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and helped found the Center for Science and Culture.
He is the author of two books:Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design, and Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design.
In his address, Meyer discussed the various arguments for intelligent design. He also suggested that in classical Christian education students are taught to think critically, and to weigh various sides of an argument, including weighing various scientific understandings of reality.
