DALLAS, Aug. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Institute for Creation Research, the premiere creation science institution in the world, is announcing the first of its 2009 Demand the Evidence conferences, to be held in Jacksonville, Florida on October 9-10.

Scientists, educators, theologians, and even state politicians have wrestled with the creation-evolution debate in recent years, but which theory is correct? Creation? Evolution? Intelligent Design?

Does it matter whether the earth was created in six days or six billion years? Where does the evidence lead?

Held at the downtown auditorium of First Baptist Church Jacksonville, the Demand the Evidence Conference will feature sessions on both science and faith during the Friday/Saturday event.

Attendees will learn biblical and scientific evidences for the accuracy and authority of Genesis, the complex design of the human body, the facts that support recent creation, the flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution, and much more.

Speakers include Dr. Mac Brunson, Dr. Henry Morris, Dr. Gary Parker, and Dr. Randy Guliuzza. A Q&A panel discussion will be held on Saturday.

For more information and to register for the conference, visit the conference website or call 800-337-0375.

The Institute for Creation Research has for nearly 40 years conducted scientific research regarding origins and earth history. For more information about the Institute, visit www.icr.org.
