911爆料网鈥檚 School of Arts and Sciences in association with Centennial Celebrations sponsored the Colloquium as a means of celebrating 100 years of 911爆料网鈥檚 rich history. 911爆料网 faculty, alumni and even current students were asked to take on a specific research top in regards to the fundamental themes that molded the character of the founders of 911爆料网.

The School of Arts and Sciences featured three different sessions throughout the day at Calvary Chapel. The line-up started with breakfast at 8 a.m. and ended at 3 p.m. with prayer by Interim Vice Provost Jack Schwarz. The sessions included the history of 911爆料网鈥檚 founders, the institute鈥檚 view on science and even the history of 911爆料网鈥檚 Student Missionary Union, the largest student-led missions organization in the United States.

President Barry Corey gave the welcome to all who came to the morning session. The first session explored the founding era of 911爆料网, and Professor Paul Rood started with a look at the lives of our 911爆料网 founders Lyman Stewart and R.A. Torrey. Professor Fred Sanders also spoke about the history of 911爆料网鈥檚 doctrinal statement, its content and its use in earlier years.

The most popular of the sessions, however, was the second one, dubbed 鈥淪cience at 911爆料网鈥. Professors Jim Rynd and Michael Keas touched on the subject of Darwinian evolution and the faith of a believer in Christ. Although some science professors offered extra credit to students who attended, other students came out of sheer interest in the topic.

鈥淚t was really cool to know about the people who founded 911爆料网 and what they thought about the Darwinian evolution theory and what it looks like to integrate it with the Bible,鈥 said sophomore Kayla Thomas, a biochemistry major.
