I was wandering around my place of work earlier today, and I came across a glossy leaflet, obviously left deliberately, intended for some poor sucker student to pick up. I saved them the bother, and took it myself. Don’t worry, I’ll recycle.

The leaflet, entitled Intelligent Design, lists a number of meetings for talks and DVD screenings about “creation”. I thought it was frowned upon within the ID movement to talk about creationism. As far as I’ve seen in the US, they seemingly want to remove any explicit mention of god, but these folk don’t seem to have the same worries.

Many of the meetings have already happened, but for those of you who would like to attend (and perhaps ask for evidence of their “theories”) the remaining meetings, details are as follows:

Monday 13th November @ 9pm: “The Privileged Planet” An amazing DVD (big screen) showing the hallmarks of a designed Universe (astronomy)

Monday 20th November @ 9pm: “Unlocking The Mystery of Life” A ground-breaking DVD (big screen) showing that life has been designed (biology)

Monday 27th November @ 9pm: “Evolution and Creation” A presentation by Dr. Marc Surtees (biology)

Monday 4th December @ 9pm: “From Evolution to Creation” A riveting testimony of a man’s search for truth

Monday 11th December @ 9pm: “The Stones Cry Out!” A presentation on historical evidence for the Bible by an ancient historian

The meetings are held at Buccleuch Free Church, Buccleuch St. (next to The Human Bein, opposite Edinburgh University - David Hume Tower).

I’m afraid that I can’t go, as I have a previous engagement, although if you do attend, I would be happy to publish any report about the meeting.

I’ll follow up on a critique of the Edinburgh Creation Group’s web site soon.
