Robert Richert will speak on Sunday

HUMANIST ASSOCIATION

The Leisure World Humanist Association will meet on Sunday, Aug. 7, in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, at 10:30 a.m. The speaker will be Robert Richert, artist, author and award winning toastmaster speaker.

Richert will speak about how most of the American public, and even many biology teachers, are unaware of the robust fossil evidence in support of the evolution of life on earth.

Although defeated in the courts time after time, Creationists and supporters continue attempts to insert the belief into public schools. Today’s conservative Supreme Court could upend these precedents, which would result in the undermining of quality science education. In his one-hour long PowerPoint speech, Richert will briefly address Creationist objections to the fossil evidence for evolution, and present numerous dramatic examples demonstrating the evolution of various animal life forms over a vast time period. He will show how how small, deer-like and wolf-like animals gradually evolved into partially aquatic creatures similar to otters, and eventually into modern whales.

Richert is a dynamic speaker, and his visuals are always exciting. All are welcome to join.
