Conversation between Karl Giberson and Michael Shermer in NYC

Anyone Interested in joining me?

TEMPLETON BOOK FORUM
Invites you to a conversation between 

Karl W. Giberson 
author of Saving Darwin (HarperOne) 
and Michael Shermer magazine 

Raised a fundamentalist, Giberson firmly believed in creationism during his college years. But while working on his Ph.D. in physics, he began to doubt that science could have gotten everything as thoroughly wrong as the creationists suggested. In Saving Darwin, he paints a clear picture of the creation/evolution controversy and explores its intricate history, from Darwin to the current culture wars, carefully showing why – and how – it is possible to believe at the same time in both God and modern evolutionary science.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The John Templeton Foundation serves as a philanthropic catalyst for research and discoveries relating to what scientists and philosophers call the Big Questions. We support work at the world’s top universities in such fields as theoretical physics, cosmology, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, and social science relating to love, forgiveness, creativity, purpose, and the nature and origin of religious belief. We also encourage informed, open-minded dialogue between scientists and theologians as they apply themselves to the Big Questions in their particular disciplines.
