Evolution Weekend

February 12-14, 2010

          An opportunity for serious discussion and reflection on the relationship between science and religion, demonstrating  that religious people from many faiths  understand that evolution is sound science and poses no problems for their faith, and making it clear that those claiming that people must choose between religion and science are creating a false dichotomy.

Join a team from National Geographic’s Genographic Project, and our neighbors in Astoria, as they trace the human journey through time, from our origins in the heart of Africa to the ends of the world.

There will be time for questions and discussion following the presentation of the documentary.
