Upcoming Events
MONTHLY MEETING: November 16, 2024
A Theory of Biological Design: Bringing an Overdue Revolution to Biology
Dr. Randy Guliuzza
ICR is engaged in its largest initiative in two decades. Just as Flood geology is a contrasting and superior alternative theory to uniformitarianism to explain geology, we need for biology a theory of biological design (TOBD) that’s fully informed by the biblical narrative beginning with its basic assumptions, e.g. creatures look engineered because they were engineered (Romans 1:20). Thus, a TOBD is deliberately not putting a creationist spin on Darwinism or only identifying the abundant flaws in evolution. A TOBD is a clear, profoundly different, and true replacement framework for interpreting biological phenomena that’s principally creature-focused and assumes biological functions are best explained by engineering principles. We’ll use current research on cave fish to illustrate key elements of a TOBD that’ll fundamentally change the way people see biology.
Dr. Randy Guliuzza is the President of the
Institute for Creation Research. He is a leading biological design theorist. He has actively expanded ICR’s scientific research and the critical endeavor to develop a theory of biological design. He holds the Doctor of Medicine from the University of Minnesota, and a Master of Public Health from Harvard University. He served as Chief of Aerospace Medicine for the 28th Bomb Wing. Prior, he worked nine years in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps and is a registered Professional Engineer. Dr. Guliuzza also has a degree in theology from Moody Bible Institute. He is the author of multiple books and technical papers.
We meet the third Saturday of each month from 9:00 am to 11:30 am at:
Greater Portland Bible Church

Portland, OR 97219
Creation Encounter Field Trips
Design Science Association hosts field trips through Creation Encounter. Our purpose is to provide quality creation field study, tours, road guides, and other information glorifying God as Creator. We also conduct special field trips for local pastor groups, and offer "tailor-made" creation programs for various organizations. Our mission is to help believers defend the reliability of the Bible and to support the church in fulfilling its Great Commission.
