Human Evolution and Religion Dr. David Lahti

Human Evolution and Religion (outline) 1. Religious vs. scientific issues 2. History of modern creation-evolution clash 3. A few examples of evidence for shared human ancestry

Scientific vs. religious issues Science = Explaining natural phenomena by: 1.Rational formulation of hypotheses 2.Collection of data 3.Testing of hypotheses against observations or experimental results 4.Submitting conclusions to a broader community for review and further testing Religion = Finding meaning and purpose, or explaining phenomena, by revelation from a personal or supernatural source

Three views of religion for people who understand science Contradiction: Science conflicts with religion and suggests that it is false Compartments: Science deals with truth, religion with meaning; so they can coexist Complements: Science and religion both deal with truth and meaning, but in different ways

Human Evolution and Religion (outline) 1. Religious vs. scientific issues 2. History of modern creation-evolution clash 3. A few examples of evidence for shared human ancestry

Huxley-Wilberforce debate (1860)

Scopes’ “Monkey Trial” (1925)

Evolution wins national education debate (1960s), Creationism goes underground

Creationism today Kansas school board decisions ( ) “Day/Age”, “Gap”, “Old-Earth creationism”, etc. “Irreducible complexity” and “Intelligent Design theory”
