ReadingsRegistrants will receive PDFs containing: * Joshua M. Moritz (2011): The Search for Adam Revisited: Evolution, Biblical Literalism, and the Question of Human Uniqueness, Theology and Science, 9:4, 367-377, and* Early chapters from a book by Dr. Cole-Turner on the topic of this course.
Join us as we review the latest scientific findings in human origins research, tracing the story of humanity from the time of divergence of the human lineage from the chimps. How do advances in stone tools and changes in procreation set the stage for larger brains and more complex societies? How have recent discoveries in genetics, such as interbreeding with Neandertals, opened new perspectives on what it means to be human? The major events in the human story will be
presented, and theological and social questions will be raised throughout the four sessions. In the final session we will reconsider what it means to be “created in the image of God” through the long, slow process of seven million years of evolutionary history.
