LEONARD OLSON: GOD, DARWIN, AND THE CULTURE WARS
Ethics Center Lecture
Leonard Olson: God, Darwin, and the Culture Wars
Most observers would agree that there is something like a cultural war taking place in America today, especially over the question of the origins of life on Earth. Is the choice as simple as one between evolution or creation? Extremists on both sides frame the issue poorly. As a result, a reasonable middle position is ignored. This talk will examine the middle and criticize the extremes.
Leonard Olson is a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at California State University, Fresno, where he has been teaching ethics courses since 1986. A native of the Central Valley, he was educated at San Francisco State and U. C. Davis.
Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2009
Time: 12-12:50 P.M.
Place: Alice Peters Auditorium in the University Business Center
Cost: Free and Open to the Public
