The annual IUN Darwin Day features excellent speakers on evolution and Darwin, cake and songs, and just plain fun.  

This year we will have a debate between Joanne Scalzitti, PhD (West Virginia University Dept Biology), and  Bryan O'Neal, ABD (Purdue University Dept of Philosophy).  Dr Scalzitti is Assistant Professor of Biology at Indiana University Northwest, and Mr O'Neal is Assistant Professor of Theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.  The debate moderator will be Dr Jack Bloom, Associate Professor of Sociology and Adjunct Professor of Minority Studies and History at IUN.  

Schedule:  each speaker will talk for twenty minutes; after that the moderator will ask prepared questions of both speakers.   Then the moderator will take written questions from the audience directed to either or both speakers, and finally each speaker will have five minutes for rebuttal and conclusion.  Questions may be submitted in advance to JBloom@iun.edu.

The debate will be videotaped and the video will be available on a web page after the event.
