A church in Sarasota is offering classes every Thursday morning and evening for six weeks on the subject of Intelligent Design<\/a>. What in the world is there to talk about in so many classes? I would think a single, brief class would do it.<\/p>\n

Intelligent Design II \u00e2\u20ac\u201c New evidence supporting the existence of a master intelligence, a designer of all that exists, is the subject of this series of lecture-films. These classes, taught by Dr. Charles Axton, will begin this Thursday, 27 September, and continue through 25 October. Classes include video screenings, lecture, and lively discussion, with topics including \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Icons on Evolution\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Darwin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Dilemma.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d There will be morning (10:30-noon) and evening (6:30-8:00) sessions, meeting in Gillespie Hall.
