NYC Skeptics Present Donald R. Prothero - Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters
Join the NYC Skeptics on January 10 for a presentation by Dr. Donald R. Prothero on Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why it Matters.
Evolution is under attack as never before, and creationists have been particularly strident in claiming that the fossil record does not support the fact of evolution. In fact, none of the creationists has appropriate training to even talk about fossils, and most of their claims are quoted out of context, or reflect a simplistic reading of kiddie books. In this lecture, Prothero will review what the fossil record REALLY shows about the evidence for evolution, and the incredible wealth of "transitional fossils" or "missing links" that have been discovered, especially in the past few decades. We will explore the implications of the creationist attack not only on evolution, but also on science literacy and the future of our technological society.
Saturday January 10, 1:00 p.m.
