Kolbe seminars can be tailored to any audience and to whatever degree of depth is appropriate.\u00a0 Normally, on a first visit to a parish, school, or university, two speakers give at least a two and a half to three hour introduction to the origins debate from a Catholic perspective, one speaker focusing on the theological arguments and the other on the natural science arguments.\u00a0 Some introductory seminars go into more depth by beginning on a Friday evening and continuing on a Saturday morning until lunch time.\u00a0 Seminars generally set forth the traditional Catholic doctrine of creation, then describe the challenge that was brought against that doctrine from natural scientists outside of the Catholic Church in the nineteenth century; then show how twenty-first century natural science has refuted the challenge mounted against the traditional doctrine of creation, and, finally,\u00a0why it is imperative that Catholics restore and defend the traditional doctrine of creation to transform\u00a0the culture of death into a culture of life.\u00a0 Individual speakers can also give shorter presentations on particular topics, including \"Evolution and the Culture of Death,\" \"The Negative Impact of Faith in the Evolutionary Hypothesis on Scientific Research,\" and \"Evidence for Dinosaur and Human Co-Existence.\"<\/p>\n
