Sempre più spesso politici\, religiosi\, filosofi e liberi pensatori “attaccano” la figura e il pensiero di Charles Darwin\, travisando le sue teorie o applicandole ad ambiti del tutto differenti dal mondo naturale.\nPer combattere questa pericolosa tendenza\, il 12 febbraio le istituzioni scientifiche in tutto il mondo organizzano eventi speciali\, denominati “Darwin Day”\, in cui viene fatta chiarezza sul pensiero e le teorie del grande naturalista inglese\, sull’attualità del suo metodo scientifico e sugli ultimi risultati della ricerca applicata all’evoluzione delle specie viventi.\nAnche noi abbiamo un Darwin Day\, anzi\, abbiamo una Darwin Week! Da martedì 9 a domenica 14 febbraio 2016\, nel Science Centre di Città della Scienza sarà possibile conoscere e approfondire aspetti della vita e delle opere di Charles Darwin attraverso interventi di esperti\, visite guidate a tema\, giochi\, dimostrazioni interattive e laboratori per i più piccoli. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEcco il programma:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9 febbraio – martedì\nore 12.00\nLe esplorazioni scientifiche ai tempi di Darwin\nApprofondimento scientifico a cura del dr.

Doria” di Genova\, in collaborazione con il DISTAV – Università degli Studi di Genova e con ADM – Associazione Didattica Museale\, propongono due appuntamenti per approfondire il curioso rapporto che il grande scienziato inglese ha avuto con la paleontologia e per raccontare particolari emergenze paleontologiche che caratterizzano il Geoparco Globale del Beigua\, recentemente riconosciuto come sito UNESCO. \nVenerdì 12 febbraio 2016 dalle ore 15:30 alle ore 17:30 presso il Museo Civico di Storia Naturale “G. Doria” Conferenza “Darwin paleontologo e le filliti fossili del Geoparco UNESCO del Beigua”. Introdurrà Giuliano Doria\, direttore del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale.\nI contributi scientifici avranno inizio con l’intervento di Guido Chiesura\, massimo esperto in Italia delle opere darwiniane ed autore di diversi libri dedicati allo scienziato inglese; argomento della comunicazione saranno le osservazioni naturalistiche che Darwin fece durante il suo famoso viaggio intorno al mondo avendo spesso a che fare con reperti fossili e mettendo in discussione alcune teorie che avevano formulato i più famosi paleontologici di quel periodo.\nSeguiranno le presentazioni di Maria Cristina Bonci e Marco Firpo\, docenti presso il DISTAV dell’Università degli Studi di Genova – DISTAV\, che illustreranno gli eccezionali ritrovamenti di foglie fossili (“filliti”) provenienti dal deposito oligocenico di Stella Santa Giustina\, all’interno del Geoparco UNESCO del Beigua; un affascinante racconto delle caratteristiche dei luoghi in cui si sono formati e sedimentati questi straordinari reperti fossili\, ma anche delle avventurose ricerche pionieristiche condotte tra fine ‘800 e inizio ‘900 dai primi geologi liguri\, contaminati dalle rivoluzionarie teorie evoluzionistiche di Darwin che si stavano diffondendo tra scienziati e ricercatori.\nIn conclusione una sintesi sulle valenze del Parco del Beigua\, recentemente riconosciuto sito UNESCO nell’ambito della prestigiosa lista degli UNESCO Global Geopark\, presentate dal suo direttore Maurizio Burlando. \nDomenica 14 febbraio 2016 dalle ore 15 presso il Museo Civico di Storia Naturale “G. Doria” Laboratorio didattico “Paleontologo per un giorno”: attraverso i calchi fatti su veri reperti fossili\, utilizzando le tecniche e gli strumenti dei paleontologi\, partiremo per un viaggio nel tempo\, attraverso gli scenari geologici e climatici delle epoche passate\, per comprendere l’evoluzione del Pianeta Terra.\nAttività per bambini dai 6 anni\, a cura di ADM.

However\, this popular model does not truly get to the heart of the evolution-religion issue. Today we have a well-developed scientific account of religion that sees belief in God arising naturally from mental tools that evolved to serve the survival needs of our earliest ancestors. This poses a much greater challenge for religion than simply having to re-interpret Genesis. This challenge\, however\, does not negate religion\, nor undermine its significance. Evolutionary accounts of religion uncover a common human experience beneath the diversity of religious traditions. Despite the deep conflicts between religions\, each gives expression to a deeper\, and commonly shared moral impulse. From this view\, religion is an attempt to bring out this common thread of our humanity. This humanistic conception of religion fits comfortably within a Darwinian worldview. \nJohn Teehan\, Professor and Chair of the Department of Religion\, holds an M.A. in Psychology (Queens College\, 1987) and a Doctorate in Philosophy (Graduate Center\, CUNY\, 1992). He joined the full time Hofstra Faculty in 1998. His main research focus is on the cognitive/evolutionary study of morality and religion\, with a special interest in religious morality and religion’s role in conflict. He explored these topics in his book\, In the Name of God: The Evolutionary Origins of Religious Ethics and Violence (2010\, Wiley-Blackwell). His work is also concerned with the interaction of cognitive-evolutionary theories and the philosophy of religion\, particularly as this relates to the Problem of Evil and questions of religious belief. He writes and lectures widely on these topics. Dr. Teehan is also on the editorial board of Evolutionary Psychological Science\, and Associate Editor of Science\, Religion and Culture.
