This page is the index to the Analysis of Evolutionary Arguments<\/em> seminar that began on October 4, 2014 and continued for 24 weeks. The following posts provided supplemental material for the lectures, although these posts themselves provide quite self-contained information on the topics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This seminar was presented in a church setting, so it is “Christian-centric.” However, regardless of your religious beliefs, or lack thereof, you will find the material to be not “preachy,” and there are balanced indictments of the sloppy thinking on the part of both Christians and evolutionary scientists.<\/p>\n
