The theme cannot be ignored due to the world-wide celebration of the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species. There will be many conferences, publications, documentaries, and events celebrating Darwin and some of the consequences of his ideas. Many of these will present Darwinism as one of the greatest contributions to science and to human progress in all history. We are not likely to see or hear anything in the secular media about the negative impact of the consequences of Darwinian ideas.
In just a five days you can make a significant impact in the post-communism part of the world, where the ideology of Darwinism caused an enormous damage on the society, but still popular and treated as the only right worldview.
More informationThe format of the event will be different from the First Eurasian Apologetics Summit. While the goal of the First Summit was establishing of the networking, the main goal of the Second Summit is to develop strategic vision for apologetics in post-communist society.
The structure of the forums will be different accordingly. Thematic forums-discussions are planned to be organized instead of the general forum-fellowship.
The following ideas for the forums were suggested so far:Any other ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

On Friday night, July 11th 2008, International Visual Christian Media has named its award-winners. "The Lesson" movie produced by Blagovest Production Studio of Christian Center for Science and Apologetics has won in two nominations:
"Best Youth Film" - Bronze Crown
"Best Drama Under 250K" - Golden Crown
It is worth noticing that movies produced by countries other then United States are usually nominated for "Best International Film". It is quite unique for an international movie to win two Crowns at the same time. We are glad to lay the Crowns by the feet of the Lamb.
The Lesson. A short-film about the teenage life that introduces the viewer to the problems they face on the way to maturity. The movie touches upon such aspects as friendship, love, marriage, abortions, decision making.
Dear Christian persuaders and faith defenders,
After several years since our ministry started in 1992, we found out that despite of the great need of the apologetics in post-communist society, the apologists are rare, separated and not supported or even not appreciated by the local churches. As a part of implementing the strategy for overcoming the situation we have organized our first Eurasian Apologetics Summit in 2000. About 20 leading apologists from CIS (countries impacted by socialism :) ) spent several days together at Yalta (former Soviet Union best resort place sadly famous for the February 1944 Stalin-Churchill-Roosevelt conference). The goal of the meeting was fellowship, networking, vision and resources sharing, strategic planning. This event gave a start for Eurasian Apologetics Society. Considering the situation development in five years that have passed, we organized another Summit. We have gathered 50 leading and active apologists from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Uzbekistan - the people who make greatest change by impacting other people in their regions with Bible-based strategy of effective Christian persuasion. Additionally to the goals of 2000 Summit, we have made the major focus on training end equipping those leaders for training and equipping others. The seminars and workshops our speakers have offered were a great building-up and encouragement for the participants - people who have the biggest impact on the strongholds of atheistic ideology peoples are still brainwashed with in our part of the world. The Eurasian Apologetic Summit has been a back-to back with our regular academia outreach event - a symposium Man and Christian Worldview on October 5-6 (http://www.scienceandapologetics.org/engl/papers.htm). So the speakers were able to take part in both. Following seminars and workshops were presented at the Summit:
