Evolution and God
An interesting conference on Evolution and God: 150 years of love and war between science and religion will be held on October 15-17, 2004
at the Strosacker Auditorium of the Case Western Reserve University
Darwin’s revolution was not limited to the scientific world. It reverberates to this day in theology, philosophy and politics. As a result, in America today, people hear more about evolution from evangelists preaching against it, than they do from their high school teachers. This highly charged political nexus has delivered a false impression about the history of evolutionary theory and its interactions with walks of life outside the scientific world. This conference is committed to achieving a more accurate historical understanding of these issues among historians and philosophers, and bringing that view directly to the public.
