Join Us: Conference on Engineering in Living Systems, April 23-25, in Southern California

"poor design", adaptation, anti-fragility, biological origins, biology, Center for Science & Culture, Conference on Engineering in Living Systems, design principles, Engineering, Engineering Research Group, engineers, evolutionists, failure prevention, human body, Intelligent Design, La Mirada, resilience, Steve Laufmann

Engineers, unlike evolutionary biologists, understand at a deep level how things work, why they work, and when they fail, why they don’t work. So the intelligent design movement has long welcomed engineering insights as a corrective to assurances from evolutionists that they’ve got everything about the mystery of biological origins all figured out. With this in mind, it’s satisfying to invite you to the 2020 Conference on Engineering in Living Systems, April 23 to 25, at Biola University. See You in Southern California Our esteemed Evolution News contributor Steve Laufmann is the organizer and he welcomes you to join him on the Biola campus in La Mirada, CA. From the event description page, here are some subjects to be covered: Intersection of Biology and Engineering — the impacts of engineering thinking…
