We are pleased to continue our 2022-23 series with a presentation by Dr Cornelius Hunter on evolution in which he explores the hidden history of Darwin’s theory of evolution and the ‘religion’ which mandates it.
Dr Hunter is a graduate of the University of Illinois where he earned a Ph.D. in Biophysics and Computational Biology. He is Adjunct Professor at Biola University and William Jessup University and author of the award-winning Darwin’s God: Evolution and the Problem of Evil. His other books include Science’s Blind Spot. Dr Hunter is also a Fellow of the Discovery Institute in Seattle.

Dr Kirk Durston
How I became an Intelligent Design proponent
https://youtu.be/TtAVeMCRkEE
Our first webinar of 2023 is a presentation by Dr Kirk Durston on his journey through science and philosophy to become a proponent of Intelligent Design.
Dr Durston holds undergraduate degrees in both Mechanical Engineering and Physics and postgraduate degrees in Philosophy and Biophysics. He has published peer-reviewed papers in both scientific and philosophical journals. His latest co-authored paper was published several months ago in the journal Bioinformatics Advances. He worked for a time as an experimental test engineer with Pratt and Whitney, but now devotes himself to ministry among university students.
Kirk lives in Ontario, Canada, and has spoken at most universities across Canada, as well as several in the UK. Kirk is married to Patti; they have six children and, currently, nine grandchildren. In his free time, he is avid nature photographer, loves wilderness canoeing, hiking, and camping in the Canadian northern wilderness. His personal website is at https://www.kirkdurston.com.
