AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION

"Intelligent Design" is a religious view, not a scientific theory,
according to U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III in his historic decision in
Kitzmiller v. Dover. The decision is a victory not only for the ACLU, which led
the legal challenge, but for all who believe that parents and families should
be responsible for religious education, and not public schools. To learn more
about this case and the ACLU’s longtime defense of religious liberty, visit:
www.aclu.org/religion/intelligentdesign
By joining the ACLU, you can support our
work to protect religious liberty and all of the freedoms guaranteed

Why There is No Conflict Between Science and Religion: Some
Historical and Philosophical Considerations – A lecture by Daniel Garber, PhD, Chair, Department of
Philosophy, Princeton University
NY HALL OF SCIENCE
47-01 111TH Street – 718.699.0005
Marvelous Molecules – The Secret of Life, explores the shared chemistry of all living things, from bacteria to flies to roses and us. All living things share this chemistry because of our shared evolution on Earth. This information supplies powerful, testable, support for Darwin’s theory of evolution: descent from a common ancestor with natural selection operating on randomly occurring variation.
The Search for Life Beyond Earth explores the varieties of life on Earth, which inhabit extreme environments and which are informing our search for life in the universe. The organisms featured in this exhibition live at extreme temperatures in acidic boiling water, high salinity, low temperatures and high radiation. They exemplify an important aspect of Darwin’s theory of evolution: all living organisms, and all life, survive in their niches because naturally occurring variants within a population have adapted their environments over millions of years.
Bring a printout of this page to the NY Hall of Science for a free admission with the purchase of an equal or higher admission ($11 value). Use Code: ERG Not for groups.
