Diversity Event!

I went to Only a Theory? evolution and the battle for the American soul. The speaker was Dr. Ken Miller from Brown university. what the lecture was about was the fight between evolution vs creation(interesting design).this wasnt a lecture saying God doesnt exist it was a lecture about how evolution  has evolved everything over time. a good point that he made was that God may have created the very first organism but evolution has created everything else. He talked about many court cases where the schools fought about what to teach their children: evolution or interesting design( which was proven to be creation in disguise). in each of these court cases evolution has one because there is so much information and proof to support it and on the creation side they really cant prove anything. another reason why evolution won was because people in certain states did not want the religion side taught to their kids. there are so many facts that he presented to use about how it is so clear that we have evolved from the species before us(apes) but he also showed us that even the pope, St.Augustine, and a very famous religious person Gregor Mendel all "believe" in evolution in some way.
I thought that this lecture was very interesting and i am very glad i went to it. i would recommend everyone to go see Dr. Ken Miller if he ever gives a lecture here again. otherwise i would read one of his books the his most recent one is the title of his lecture.. Only a Theory? evolution and the battle for the American soul.
