WSEAS opens a very interesting dialogue: Creation vs Evolution or
Evolution vs Creation
Tell us your opinion (it is not necessary to be Biologist).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear WSEAS Members and Friends,
We visited last Sunday the well known Attica Zoological Park
http://www.atticapark.com/main_en.htm
and visiting the department with Monkeys we started a discussion
about Darwin's Theory (Evolution).
A good colleague from another Military University of Greece (Hellenic
Airforce Academy)
had many objections about the Evolutionary Theory and sent me later a
very interesting
email.
It seems that the controversy still exists and there is no a common
point
of Scientists yet.
Many WSEAS Members are Biologists, however all of us have our personal
opinions
maybe from our families and under the influence of our religions.
I have told in a previous WSEAS Conference on Evolutionary Computing
(Lisbon, 2005)
that maybe God uses Evolutionary Computing like an Engineer and so
probably there is not a real contradiction between Creation and
Evolution.
It seems that a common point could be an Intelligent Design.
As you can see our discussion cannot be only scientific, but it must
combines
personal faith, experiences outside science (religion? miracle?
experience?).
The WSEAS Community includes people from all the religions. Many of
them are religious persons.
We want to have your opinions.
To this end, we created a Forum (i.e. Blog) with several videos that
we found from
www.youtube.com
http://creation-and-evolution.blogspot.com/
If you are interested to participate in this dialogue ("debate")
you can post your opinions, articles, etc
http://creation-and-evolution.blogspot.com/2008/01/creation-or-evolution.html#links
If your comments are good enough, you will be invited to publish them
in a more official WSEAS forum
(Book, Journal, Educational CD-ROM, etc....)
Any WSEAS Member or friend or any simple visitor of this page can tell
his opinion.
The best contributions (not anonymous please) from our Academic
Community will be invited to be Chapters in a Book or Papers in a
Journal os Magazine or Educational CD-ROM that will be published by
WSEAS. All the opinions towards to one or to the other direction are
encouraged.
Forward this link to your friends and students. We need both popular
and scientific contributions. The Best (criterion: the scientific
documentation only) will be published by WSEAS. All the contributions
must be in English.
Best Regards
Sincerely Yours
Nikos
