"The Evolution of Creationism" - Jone Johnson Lewis, NoVES Leader

Each time creationism is defeated in its attempts to keep young students from learning about evolution, creationists figure out a new way of presenting or advocating for their position.

In honor of Darwin Day, Jone will take us on a quick tour of creationist thinking and how it has evolved. We tend to think of the disagreement as between a new theory (evolution) and the age-old, Biblically-grounded theory of special creation -- yet the later theory continues to grow and evolve, and its advocates adopt tactics in response to the successes of science.
