Norfolk vicar takes on Darwin theories
 AUG 07With the release of his latest book 'Deluded by Darwinism: Intelligent Design and the Reappearance of God' Norfolk vicar Martin Down (pictured right) led a teaching day at The Well Christian Centre, Ashill, on Saturday September 1 from 10am – 3.30pm.
The morning was about arguments for Creation and Intelligent Design, and the afternoon about the Flood and Geology. Bring your own lunch – drinks/refreshments will be provided and there is no need to book say organisers.
Martin is not a professional scientist, but a Church of England vicar, but one, who, in his own words, has for 40 years ‘taken as intelligent an interest as I can in the advancements of science, and especially as these have had a bearing on the question of origins, the origin of the universe, the origin of the Earth, and the origin of species, including us human beings.’
In his latest book, Deluded by Darwinism, Martin presents the evidence for Intelligent Design for the ordinary reader. This book brings the debate about Evolution out of the laboratory and into the canteen and the classroom.
For 150 years there has been a conflict of ideas between scientists, like Darwin, who believed that the world was self-explanatory, and fundamentalist Christians who believed that the world was the creation of God. Today, the astounding discovery of evidence of Intelligent Design in the universe means that there is a new dimension to this old debate. Science itself could be leading to the reappearance of God. Martin invites his readers to consider the evidence.
The Well Christian Centre is on Swaffham Road, Ashill, Thetford, Norfolk, IP25 7BT. For more information please contact 01760 336492 or email info@fountainoflife.org |

|  | gary (Guest) | 31/08/2007, 07:00 | | like many sites where one gives an opinion its ruled by the great, all knowing ones who make small things great and great things small.
i bow to your superiour-ness.

|  | Adrian Miller (Guest) | 31/08/2007, 16:15 | | I wonder, is it possible for us in the UK to avoid the awful polarisation that has occurred in the US, whereby Christians find it very hard to understand one another? Is it because this area is still quite taboo, that when we do get to discuss it, it quickly turns a bit fisty-cuffs?
| | | Adrian Miller (Guest) | 31/08/2007, 16:16 | | PS Well done, Martin, for a thought-provoking book, and for getting people talking. That's what needs to happen.
|  | gary (Guest) | 02/09/2007, 13:45 | | and to quote Kenney Everet @ Its all done in the best possible taste!'
|  | timothy v reeves (Guest) | 02/09/2007, 17:21 | | A discussion can’t polarize if it is polarized from the outset: If one party (or both) comes to a forum with the preconceived notion that the other side hold their position because they are compromising spiritual retards with bad consciences and malign sinful motives and not worth even engaging, then some of the postings above are a small sample of the course things will take.
I am currently in discussion with an American friend (via e-mail) who is a young earth creationist. Although I favour the old-earth position the spiritual maturity of my friend has help ensure that the debate is a mutual learning exercise.
