    Hi,
    Got wind of this from the radio. A Scientist, Simon Conway Morris, who I think has Christian bend is giving a talk on evolution on Thursday 20th Febuary. More info here:

    More info here
    http://felixrandal.blogspot.com/2008...in-dublin.html

    I think his view is that there are patterns in evolution which suggest the inevitability of the evolution humans which may signal actual intent i.e. a designer i.e. a God.

    Info about speaker:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Conway_Morris

    This talk might have appeal to those who have an inclination to Christianity and Science and thought some of you might be interested in it. I think the Jesuits are also involved in this talk.

    Enjoy.
    Tim

    Thanks for the info, Tim. It seems like an interesting talk.

    Just to clarify - It does appear as if Prof Morris (or is that Prof Conway Morris?) is an Anglican theistic evolutionist.

    Yes I like these people, as they can build a bridge between the theistic and atheistic community. They can speak both languages if you know what I mean.
