Green Acres Baptist Church, 1607 Troup Highway, will hold an Origins Symposium at its 8:15, 9:45 or 11:15 a.m. services in the main sanctuary on Sunday and continuing 5 to 7 p.m. in the chapel.

Biological origins experts Dr. Ray Bohlin of Probe Ministries and Dr. Jay West of the Discovery Institute will present the latest findings from the world of science that rejects a Darwinian account of the creation of life, said information from Green Acres.

"The great amount of new information coming from the scientific field supporting a biblical world view of creation is very encouraging to Christians who've felt the influence of Darwinism," said Tim Roberts, symposium coordinator. "There are more and more scientists out there, even secularists, endorsing the idea of an intelligent designer."
