Cutting Edge Issues in the Hard Sciences That Challenge Christianity

How do we handle new problems, new theories, and new issues that arise in apparent conflict to Biblical Christianity?  The playing field for scientific apologetics keeps changing year by year, but the fundamental underlying issues are the same.  If we know what to look for and focus clearly on these basic issues, we can prepare to meet the newest challenges. This workshop will use four current scientific “hot topics” drawn from physics, astronomy, and biology to exemplify a suggested methodology.  The scientific issues and results will be presented for non-specialists who have basic scientific knowledge.  Each area will be seen to have a common basis, but also specific differences.  A discussion and Q/A time will be given for each topic.
