Here is yet one more opportunity for at least a small portion of the unaware and undereducated masses to become more familiar with the theory of evolution and the scientific process. A current exhibition at New York's American Museum of Natural History presents the life and work of Charles Darwin. In these days of dwindling quality in American education, we can only hope that events like this continue to be available to help open a few more eyes.quote:
NYC Exhibit Presents Life, Work of Darwin...
NEW YORK Nov 19, 2005 -- He was a lackluster student, bored by the rote memorization of Latin words. He tried medical school, but hated it. Charles Darwin figured he would end up in the clergy, his love of nature and the sciences just a hobby.
[...]
A new exhibition examines that pivotal work, as well as the man himself. "Darwin," a landmark exhibit put together by some of the world's leading science institutions, opens Saturday at the American Museum of Natural History and runs until May 29.
[...]
[Ellen Futter, president of the museum] said the show is meant not only to present Darwin, but to explain evolutionary theory and highlight the process by which scientific theory and research are done.
