"Chris Parkinson and Eric Hoffman, who teach the capstone undergraduate evolution course at UCF, often find undergraduates are unprepared in evolutionary theory when they arrive at UCF."

Their goal with this seminar series is to educate the public on the importance of teaching and understanding evolution.

There is something funny when people promote the "importance of teaching and understanding" scientific theories. Promoting the importance of an ideology, religion, or philosophy makes sense though.

Scott is part of the UCF Department of Biology special speaker series under way this year in honor of the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s work on evolution. The series tackles how the theory of evolution has influenced all aspects of human society.

Imagine that, a gathering to sing the praises of Charles Darwin. Apparently, the influence isn't pervasive enough. I'd suggest an annual holiday, for an even more persuasive promotion. Just think of all the hearts and minds this would bring to Darwin.

And no opposing viewpoints are going to be offered?

Goebbels would have been proud!
