Program
Stars burn out. Our bodies age. Even our planet wears down. Yet, Earth is full of order. The Sun powers our weather, oceans and food supply, and inside your body, trillions of cells work together, guided by DNA and powered by microscopic machines, including a molecular turbine called ATP synthase. Where does all this order come from, and why doesn’t it last? Why, despite the body’s ability to repair itself, do we still grow old? Join Dr. Dieter Knowle on a visually rich journey, with NASA animations and everyday examples, from the vastness of space to the microscopic world inside you. Topics We’ll Explore
The Universe: why it is expanding and cooling, and how stars like our Sun become hot spots in the cold
The Wonder of Earth: how sunlight powers the wind, water, ocean currents and the food we eat
The Complexity of Life: why energy alone doesn’t build anything, and the information and molecular machinery that do
Why Order Doesn’t Last: what science knows about aging, and why we can slow, but not stop, the damage to our air, water, forests and soil
Science and the Bible: how scientific discoveries connect with biblical perspectives on creation, life, death and what may lie beyond
All are welcome—no scientific knowledge or religious background is required. Stay afterward for refreshments and conversation. About the Speaker
Dr. Dieter Knowle holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology. After 13 years teaching at Kyungpook National University in South Korea, he now explores the complexity of life and the universe through both scientific inquiry and the Bible. Location & Parking
