Great Presenters Series Continues with 'Evolution: It's Only a Theory'

On Tuesday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m. atmospheric physicist James Metcalf will give the next Great Presenters program.

His talk is titled “Evolution: It’s Only a Theory.”

The presentation will focus on how Darwin's theory of evolution remains a topic of intense controversy 153 years after its initial publication. Although it is the central organizing principle of modern biological science, it receives little or no emphasis in many public school biology courses, and a 2009 Gallup poll found that only 39 percent of Americans said they believe in it.

Come hear why Metcalf thinks it is possible to settle the controversy.
