Please come and enjoy and movie and feel free to share a dish for a potluck dinner Darwin Day celebration. Please bring your own preferred beverage.
We will be screening the NOVA documentary Judgement Day: Intelligent Design On Trial.
This is a rollercoaster of a film that highlights both how strong the evidence for evolution is and how some with a theological impetus are constantly trying to undermine its validity and instruction.
Movie Description: In a tiny town of Dover in eastern Pennsylvania, in 2004, the local school board ordered science teachers to read to their high school biology students a statement that suggested there is an alternative to Darwin’s theory of evolution called “Intelligent Design.” NOVA captures the emotional conflict in the historic six-week trial, Kitzmiller v. Dover School District, which was closely watched by the world’s media.
The film will begin around 6:30pm to ensure those that are eating have enough time to do so in order to minimize disruptions during the film. Please note, the potluck is optional.
