The Center for the Understanding of Origins (a joint venture of the KSU Biology, Physics, Geology, Philosophy, English & History departments) will be sponsoring several lectures coinciding with the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of "The Origin of Species". Here's the lineup so far: February 26/27: Jeffrey Schwartz, physical anthropologist from the University of Pittsburgh March 25: David Quammen; Wallace Stegner chair in Western American Studies at Montana State University; author of "The Reluctant Mr. Darwin." April 8/9: Kenneth Miller, biologist from Brown University; will speak on intelligent design and evolution. And we are working on an invitation (sponsored as well by our chapter of Phi Beta Kappa) for  Robert J. Richards, Morris Fishbein Professor of Science and Medicine at the University of Chicago and the author of "The Tragic Sense of Life: Ernst Haeckel and the Struggle over Evolutionary Thought". If we can make these arrangements, his talk would probably be in April sometime after Miller's appearance here. I know that FtK wants us to celebrate the Disco boys bogus "Academic Freedom" Day in February; thankfully there are academics who really understand what academic freedom means, and some of them will be here in the spring. Make your plans to visit Manhattan for one of these events! -------------- Flesh of the sky, child of the sky, the mind Has been obligated from the beginning To create an ordered universe As the only possible proof of its own inheritance.                         - Pattiann Rogers

So, be sure to order your copy ASAP!  Lots of new stuff. Honestly $30 is a bargain..the book huge.  Of course, I got mine free because I'm so darn cool that Walt couldn't resist sending me copy.  AND, remember, the whole thing is online, so you don't *have* to buy it. Oh, and here's another book you stinkers should read.... The Reason for God:  Belief in an Age of Skepticism This book is based on many philosophical reasons for believing in God.  Looks like it's been pretty boring around here lately, so buy the book, read it, and post your thoughts.  I would LOVE to read your comments about it.
