Creation Coalition of CT Hosting Lecture at THS

The Creation Coalition of Connecticut is hosting a lecture on creationism at on June 30.

Coalition member and local business owner Drew Crandall said that the event is an inter-demoninational and scientific study of intelligent design, a theory that some embrace as an alternative to evolution.

"Connecticut is a very well-educated state and we're just trying to educate people. We're not asking them to leave their brain at the door," Crandall said of the event's science-focused lectures.

"We're trying to show why belief in a creation world view is scientifically intelligent and smart," he said.

Scientists from the Institute of Creation Research will be discussing the theory, with lectures beginning at 9 a.m. The free event will continue until 3:45 p.m., with a break for lunch.

"It's going to be inspirational and encouraging. I encourage all of the churches in Tolland to plug in," Crandall said.
