July 26, 2026 - Evolution
This upcoming Sunday, we are going to watch 2 videos about evolution.
In the first video, historian John van Wyhe explains how 19th-century geologists and paleontologists uncovered evidence of ancient life and extinction long before Charles Darwin published his theory. This TED Talk explores how early fossil discoveries challenged traditional timelines and laid the groundwork for modern evolutionary science.
In the second video, Hank talks about Charles Darwin’s and Alfred Wallace’s wonderful (if not seasick-inducing) trips around the world. "Survival of the Fittest" sounds like a great WWE show, but we're talking about that phrase as it relates to Darwin and Wallace. They are at the heart of understanding evolution and natural selection.
