Description
Darwin’s contemporaries struggled to reconcile the theory of evolution by natural selection with religious faith. Today, many people still struggle with the same issue. What have we learned about the relationship between Darwinism and ‘Intelligent Design’ in the century and a half since the first publication of the Origin of Species? This discussion will provide a context for the staging of ‘Re:Design’, a play based on the correspondence between Charles Darwin and Harvard botanist Asa Gray, at the MIT Museum on February 14th and February 16.
