So, tomorrow my university is holding a symposium about faith and darwin. I'm planning on going, but i thought it would be nice to share the ad for it so you could see how we stand towards creationists issues.

"Poster for the Darwin Symposium


The idea of this mini-symposium is to provide a somewhat different picture of Darwin and the legacy of him than those during the year have met us in the media as well as in parts of the academy. By combining discussion inclined scientists, humanists, social scientists and theologians, we want to deepen the understanding of each tradition's approach to Darwinism, and respond to some of the prejudices that abound, such as that one can not be a Christian and believe that evolutionary theory is a sensible explanation for the species' development.

Furthermore, we show that while Darwinism is very viable in certain scientific traditions, so it is no longer used at all in the second and the symposium is intended in part to a discussion between these two approaches. What is it that makes impossible to understand zooecology without evolutionary theory in its present form while in parts of the humanities and social sciences no longer want to hear about evolutionary models of explanation? What some consider the evolutionary theory is best-ever idea while others say it is of both scientific research and political reasons can not be used in the analysis of human behavior?"

Note, there is only professors of the university and some from other colleges that talks and no creationist is invited since no one has the qualifications! :D
Well you get the picture...
