SERIOUS SCIENCE TALKS
Serious Science Talks is a once-a-month interactive class series at the ICR Discovery Center created for college students, ages 18-25, who are ready to dive deeper into the world of science and faith.
These engaging sessions offer a unique opportunity to learn directly from ICR’s esteemed scientists as they explore advanced scientific topics from a biblical perspective, and to ask thoughtful, in-depth questions during an interactive Q&A.
Serious Science Talks take place on the last Saturday of select months throughout the school year, from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm. Attendees will enjoy a free lunch, along with complimentary access to the Exhibit Hall and a Planetarium show. Your Exhibit Hall and Planetarium ticket will be available any time that day between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm.
Come ready to learn, connect, and be inspired.

Serious Science Talk
The Nature of Science
What is the nature of science? A majority of the pioneers of most scientific disciplines believed Scripture. Dr Sherwin will take you through what science is and what it is not. As Christians, he will show you the importance of presuppositional apologetics, especially when it comes to origins. Questions he will address include: What is the difference between science and religion? What is creation science? What are the tools of inquiry? Is design a valid concept? What is possibly the most profound scientific statement? Is it really possible to talk fairly and honestly about scientific evidence for creation? Are there natural limits to biological change?
Dr. Frank Sherwin
Science News Writer, ICR
Date: Saturday, March 28, 2026 | Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. | Location: ICR Discovery Center, 1830 Royal Lane, Dallas, TX 75229

HOMESCHOOL DAYS
All Creatures Great and Small
Homeschool families are invited to attend Homeschool Days, a two-day, zoology-themed event at the ICR Discovery Center designed to inspire curiosity, learning, and wonder at God’s creation. This special event brings together engaging science education and a strong biblical worldview as students explore the incredible diversity, design, and purpose found throughout the animal kingdom.
Throughout the event, families will enjoy dynamic presentations from ICR speakers and special guest speakers, covering a wide range of zoology topics that highlight how animals were intentionally created to thrive in their environments. From creatures that walk, swim, and fly to the remarkable systems that allow animals to survive and flourish, these talks will help students better understand and appreciate God’s handiwork in the world.
Families will also enjoy hands-on activities for all ages, including encounters with a variety of animals, crafts, a fossil petting zoo, dinosaur dig pits and more!
American Journey Experience
As a special bonus for Homeschool Days 2026, the ICR Discovery Center is partnering with the American Journey Experience to offer a shared Homeschool Days ticket, allowing families who purchase a main Exhibit Hall ticket at either museum on April 23 or 24 to receive complimentary admission to the partner museum’s main exhibit hall on either day. Guests will enjoy an expanded, Christ-centered educational experience and exceptional value during Homeschool Days by exploring both museums and receiving access to both main exhibit halls for the price of one.
Homeschool Days is designed to support parents, engage students, and encourage meaningful conversations about science and faith. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore zoology through the lens of Scripture while enjoying an enriching educational experience—and two museums for the price of one—during Homeschool Days at the ICR Discovery Center.
