I trust everyone has had a relaxing summer.
We will begin this year’s reading group on Tuesday evening, September 16, 2025, at 7:00 PM CT via Zoom.
I recently went back and listed all our reading groups since we began. You can review my summary here. This has been created on a page within my personal website. In the future, I will also have a page with information about our next event. It will be here. So, if the email I sent you gets buried, go to that link for information on the next reading group.
One area I noted we have not discussed is human evolution. We will take that up for our next topic. Chapter 32, Do Fossils Demonstrate Human Evolution in The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith will be a good place for you to get some background information for our discussion.
One aspect of this that I would like to get some input from the group on is who were the Neanderthals. According to the genealogical site, 23 & Me, I have quite a bit of their DNA. They have made the news a lot recently in the popular media.
We will watch a few short video clips on human evolution from Casey Luskin who is the author of Chapter 32.
Here are a few links to some recent information on human evolution:
Fossil Friday: New Evidence for Human Nature of Neanderthals
Smithsonian Denigrates by Race, Including the Human Race
I look forward to seeing everyone on the 16th. I will send the Zoom link out the Monday evening before reading group.
