Sunday Scientist Symposium 6
“God Working through Evolution: 150 Years after Darwin’s Origin”
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2009
Location: Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota
This one-day conference explores the interface between religious belief and biological evolution, and celebrates the anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth 200 years ago and the publication 150 years ago of his groundbreaking work, Origin of the Species. Keynote presenters are: Dr. Ted Peters, Martin E. Marty Professor of Religion and the Academy at St. Olaf College and of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, and Dr. Gayle Woloschak, Professor of Radiology at Northwestern University, and director of the Zygon Center for Religion and Science as well as the Epic of Creation series at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago.
This symposium celebrates our knowledge of the world – of God’s creation – gained through science and evolutionary biology. It will focus not only on Darwin’s work of 150 years ago, but will include contemporary developments in biological evolution. Concurrent sessions will explore evolution and the problem of evil, science as vocation, teaching evolution in the schools, and other issues. This is the sixth annual Sunday Scientist Symposium, sponsored by the ELCA Alliance for Faith, Science and Technology.
