A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

RJ Moeller at The Discovery Institute’s Summer Seminar

I arrived in Seattle yesterday for what promises to be a stimulating 8-day conference hosted by The Discovery Institute at Seattle Pacific University.

Instead of trying to explain what it is I'll be doing, here's Discovery's blurb about the summer seminar:

The C.S. Lewis Fellows Program on Science and Society will explore the growing impact of science on politics, economics, social policy, bioethics, theology, and the arts. The program is named after celebrated British writer C.S. Lewis, a perceptive critic of both scientism and technocracy in books such as The Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength. This seminar is open to college/university students who intend careers in the social sciences, humanities, law, or theology. Details and registration information.

I was invited to this conference by Dr. Jay Richards, a Fellow at Discovery, and one of the most articulate defenders of my general worldview (religious free-market conservative).  Check out this clip of Dr. Richards talking about Darwinian Evolution and "The problem of Evil":

Stay tuned for more updates on my trip and the conference over the next week or so.
