Here is my first Creation Moment Post. May you enjoy the upcoming posts with intellectual thought and appreciation.Over the past years there has been a growing enthusiasm for honoring the Birthday of Charles Darwin on February 12. Ironically both Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were both born in 1809 and their birthdays are observed at the same time. Not only will February 12 will represent 200 years since Darwin's birth it will also be noted as the 150th anniversary of the Origin of Species.
Academic Freedom day was created in response to Darwin Day's desire for exclusivity in the spot light. As the documentary Expelled shows, many proponents of Darwinian Evolution will not tolerate any other idea of concept of origin's of life and species to be discussed in academic settings. While focused to high school and college settings, Academic Freedom Day will no doubt be a point of discussion for everyone concerning the important topic of origins. Resources for promoting Academic Freedom day can be found here. http://www.academicfreedomday.com/.
