DARWIN DAY EVENT: Feb 12th is Darwin Day. Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born on the exact same day, Feb. 12th, 1809. Here is a Darwin Day event in Grayslake, IL:
Darwin's Bulldog's presents: Darwin Day #199
Start Date and Time: 2008-02-12 19:00
Event Website: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/darwins_bulldogs/
Activities:
Sponsored by the Darwin's Bulldogs, this free-to-the-public event is a video followed by panel discussion. It is a BYOB event and you are invited to bring your favorite beverage and enjoy it responsibly.
A video by the BBC titled, “A War On Science”, examines the attack on classroom pedagogical standards by religiously motivated adherents of Intelligent Design. The 49-minute programme (after all...it is a BBC production) begins with comments from Richard Dawkins, David Attenborough and Ken Miller and proceeds to examine the tactics used by ID proponents to try and influence the high school science curricula in Dover, PA.
This event culminated in the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial and landed a devastating blow to the ID movement. But what is next? As stated in the BBC’s concluding remarks about this documentary: “Evolution supporters heralded this victory as the damning blow to the intelligent design movement. However, as history shows, law suits have little effect on the support for creationism in a country where over 50% of citizens believe that God created humans in their present form, the way the bible describes it.”
