Beyond Irreducible Complexity: The Amazing Dependent Interconnectedness of Biological Systems
with Scott Hardin
of Science Shepherd
"Irreducible Complexity" is an excellent descriptor of biological systems, demonstrating they did not arise spontaneously. However, most biological systems don't actually stop functioning altogether when one component is damaged or removed. Instead, they malfunction or work sub-optimally. Such "Dependent Interconnected Systems" are clear evidence of design. Dr. Hardin will explore this concept in detail as it reflects the creation at the hands of our Creator.

Reasons for Hope and Carl Kerby Present the Impact Retreat for Ages 11 to 20!
Why not bring your youth group?
Got questions? Get answers!
Every young Christian who thinks will have questions about Christianity, especially after seeing the attacks on television on the "historical Jesus" ... with K-college schools teaching that the universe and life happened by chance... Is the Bible's history really any more than a collection of just-so tales, first told by a fireside thousands of years ago? Or is there any evidence that the "tales" are true? [Spoiler: you BET there's evidence!]
An EQUIP retreat is an annual apologetics-based retreat held across the country at different locations. The speakers are ALL convinced that the Bible IS reporting real history, including in Genesis Chapter 1 (six days of creation). The retreat is designed to teach young people to own, share, and defend their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. While there will be lots of fun and games, the goal of EQUIP is to plant seeds that inspire a generation of teens to have eternal impact on the Kingdom of God by equipping them to better understand, articulate, and spread the Gospel.
NOTE: If this date doesn't work for you, there are SIX other similar retreats scheduled throughout summer 2025, at six different locations!
Location:
Judson University1151 North State Street, Elgin, IL 60123
Accommodations:
No tents, no cabins -- just modern dorm rooms!This would be a preview of Judson for prospective students!
Cost:
$395Sponsorships are available if there is a need! We don't want anyone to miss out because of the cost!
There will be a limit of 100 teens.
