What is intelligent design?  Is it a scientific theory?  Should alternatives to evolution theory be taught?  More than half of Americans (Harris Poll, June 17-21, 2005) believe evolution, creationism and intelligent design all should be taught in public schools.  The Marquette professors will share (20-minutes each) perspectives from their three disciplines; a half hour will be reserved for questions from the audience.
