[2001 May] Calvin College Seminars
 
  We attended the international interdisciplinary conference, the 2001 Calvin College Seminars in Christian Scholarship held in Calvin College, May 24-26, 2001, which has an international reputation as a center of faith-shaped learning and scholarship. In the seminar with Dr. William Dembski with the theme of 'Design, Self-organization, and Integrity of Creation', featured speakers and their themes were as follows.
William Dembski, Baylor University: "Specified Complexity: Is There Another Way to Detect Design?" Jed Macosko, University of California, Berkeley: "Life's Molecular Machines: By Chance or By Design?" Stephen Meyer, Whitworth College: "DNA by Design" Scott Minnich, University of Idaho: "The Bacterial Flagellum as a Paradigm for irreducible Complexity" Paul Nelson, Discovery Institute: "Prospects for Intelligent Design as a Biological Research Program" Alvin Plantinga, University of Notre Dame: "Science, Religion, and Epistemology" Jonathan Wells, Discovery Institute: "Designer Genes"
  This lecture dealt with complex organized structures that cannot be reduced to their constituent parts. Two approaches to account for organized complexity were introduced: intelligent design and complex organization. It is the main viewpoint that design places front and center the wisdom of God in creation but seems to allow for almost magical intrusions into the natural order, while self-organization places a premium on preserving the integrity but seemingly leaves no evidence of the divine handiwork.

Specially Dr Jurgen Moltmann, Professor of Systematic Theology Eberhard-Karls Universitat, Tubingen delivered the good public lectures with two themes, 'The Church of the Holy Spirit: On the Future of Christianity' and 'Progress or Abyss: Remembering the Future of the Modern World' in the Calvin College Chapel.

[2000 November] Yale's Law School auditorium
 
  Over 350 people from the United States and Europe attended this conference and lots of famous scholars presented evidence that the universe and human life are intelligently designed in a three-day symposium which took place in Yale's Law School auditorium on Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 2-4, after two years of preparation.
     
  During the event, titled "Science and Evidence for Design in the Universe", scientists examined research in such disciplines as astronomy, biology, philosophy, physics and paleobiology to explore whether intelligent design theory may provide a "valuable and scientifically responsible paradigm" for the understanding of the origin and complexity of the universe and life.
     


         David and Karen Mahan
  The symposium was cosponsored by Rivendell Institute for Christian Thought and Learning, the Discovery Institute, the Yale Law School Forum on Cultural and Academic Freedom, and Yale Students for Christ. The key researchers in intelligent design showed what the whole program was. It was really unique opportunity to get a positive overview of the entire intelligent design program. Several of the speakers at the symposium, including Philip Johnson, William Dembski and Michael Behe, have appeared in the national media as spokespersons for intelligent design theory. These sessions were featured vigorous exchanges from science faculty and students.
     
  Joon-ha Hwang, Johnny Kim and Sang-hoon Yeo attended the conference. The main moderator, David Mahan, Director of the Rivendell Institute for Christian Thought & Learning at Yale University, introduced three of them to all attendants The institute feels this event furthered the cause of challenging current view of science and the study of origins, and expects more fruit from that momentum as it spreads to other campuses.

[2000 October] Leading researcher of Intelligent Design Movement,
Dr. William A. Dembski visited
Leading researcher of Intelligent Design Movement, Dr. William A. Dembski visited our institute in October. He attended the congratulating parade and party of the 18th erecting anniversary of Manmin Joong-ang Church and delivered a congratulatory message. He was very pleased to see the anniversary party and grateful to Rev. Lee Jae-Rock and the church for inviting. And he complimented on their vision and hope.
  And he visited the Alliance Holiness Theological Seminary and made an speech of 'Science of Intelligence: Understanding ID' for students and Joon-Ha Hwang, director of MRC interpreted it. He said that we have statistical methodology for uncovering design and then we apply that methodology to various biological systems, natural systems. These can also be applied actually to questions of cosmology, fine-tuning of the universe, etc.
             William A. Dembski    
Taking an example of SETI (Search for the ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence), he explained we have methodology for identifying the effect of intelligence and can apply these methods to the natural sciences. And he added there are things out there in the world that point us to an intelligence and we identify these things are intelligently caused. He concluded ID is tremendous challenge to materialistic philosophy and Darwinism which have dominated the sciences.
[2000 June] Attended the conference on intelligent design at Concordia University
