I had mentioned here before<\/a> that there is a series of lectures about to launch at Northwest Florida State College on the subject of evolution. Here is a story<\/a> that gives a bit more detail about the first speaker and the subjects of subsequent lectures.<\/p>\n

The first lecture [Aug 27], entitled “Evolution and Creation: conflicting or compatible?” will be led by Patricia Kelley, a professor of geology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.<\/p>\n

“Patricia is perfect. What I think she brings to the table, which is real important especially for this area \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 is a real strong scientific background, but she also brings a kind of unique background because her husband is a minister,” said Allison Beauregard, the director of the Mattie M. Kelly Cultural and Environmental Institute at the college. “She can speak to our community better than someone who speaks strictly in a scientific sense.”<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The other seminars will be held from 11 a.m. until noon and include: “Cellular Evolution: tracing our cellular lineage,” by Ritter on Sept. 18; “Evolution and the Extinction of the Fossil Record” with Jon Bryan on Oct. 16; and “Fossil Hominins: evidence for human evolution” by Beth Ritter on Nov. 20.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
