Northwest Unitarian Universalist Church*
23925 Northwestern Highway
Southfield, MI 48075
(on the southbound Lodge Service Drive,
south of 10 Mile right before Mt Vernon)

Doors open at our new home, The Northwest Unitarian Church* in Southfield, at 7:00 p.m. for mingling with your fellow Mensans. The program begins at 8:00 p.m.
 

While the debate continues to rage in courts and among school boards across the country, the creation versus evolution controversy is not necessarily a clear cut, either/or choice between the description found in the Old Testament and a commonly held scientific theory. There are many possible scenarios explaining the development of life on Earth. Collectively, they represent a spectrum of concepts ranging from a strict biblical interpretation on one end, to various versions of "Creation Science" (including Intelligent Design), to Darwin, to modern evolutionary theories on the spectrum's opposite end.

Wherever you own beliefs fall within this continuum, if you're like me, you're probably confused by the myriad of issues involved in the creation-evolution debate.

Join us on Saturday, October 15, when our guest will be Dr. Michael Pape, Adjunct Assistant Professor in the U of M Medical School's Department of Biological Chemistry. He is also the former pastor of Ann Arbor's New Life Church. Dr. Pape will distill the debate down to some key points which he claims will help us to think through the complexities involved in determining life's origins.

Come get fresh perspectives on a topic that is rarely treated with sufficient depth.
