"Darwin Day is an international celebration of science and humanity held on or around February 12, the day that Charles Darwin was born on in 1809. Specifically, it celebrates the discoveries and life of Charles Darwin -- the man who first described biological evolution via natural selection with scientific rigor. More generally, Darwin Day expresses gratitude for the enormous benefits that scientific knowledge, acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity, has contributed to the advancement of humanity."
Our little Episcopal church is hosting such a gathering. A local band contacted our organizer and will be part of the celebration playing their hit "Evolution Rocks." We will sip primordial soup {Brad's idea} and watch a viewing of Jurassic Park. The event will also include a kid-friendly discussion of science and religion.
WHY? Charles Darwin was an Anglican.
