Evolution Day 2019

2019-11-24

When I was a kid I explored the work of Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. There are a number of people in my past who have voiced concerns that evolution is contrary to religious canon.

My personal views are inclusive of evolution due to that strong scientific background which permeates my existence and the methods of the almighty are mysterious and the timeframes subject to intepretation in the traditions of men.

Evolution Day marks the anniversary of the initial publication of On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin on November 24, 1859.

These celebratory events have been held for over a century, but the specific term "Evolution Day" for the anniversary is much newer and was coined sometime prior to 1997.

Evolutionary biology is the thrust of the festivities as are Darwin's contribtions to science.

This is not "Darwin Day" which is a separate observance held on the anniversary of his birth on February 12.
