About San Diego IDEA
San Diego IDEA Club was formed in 2010: – To promote, as a scientific theory, the idea that life was designed by an intelligence; – To educate people about scientific problems with purely natural explanations for the origins and evolution of life; – To challenge the philosophical assumptions of Darwinism, naturalism, and materialism; – To support academic freedom for legitimate intellectual viewpoints in academia and the culture as a whole; – To facilitate discussion, debate, and dialogue concerning these issues in a warm, friendly, and open atmosphere where individuals feel free to speak their personal views;
