Was Charles Darwin a Monster? ~ with Barry Desborough
06/02/19 • 17 min
Charles Darwin is known for 'On the Origin of Species' and for outlining the biological process of evolution, but why do so many see him as not only wrong, but immoral? What exactly is 'social darwinism' and was Darwin really in favor of cleansing the 'unfit' from the world, as the so-called 'survival of the fittest' suggests?
BARRY DESBOROUGH returns to Talk Beliefs to give an overview of Darwin's discoveries, outlook, and intentions. Was he a good man... or a monster?
Barry Desborough studied at Christchurch college, Canterbury (now a part of Kent University, Canterbury, UK.) and gained a Diploma in Education. His childhood in Malaysia in the 1960s, observing the casual racism of colonials, led to research into evolutionary psychology and human nature.

Teaching Evolution in the Bible Belt ~ Archaeologist Ella Beaudoin
ELLA BEAUDOIN works at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. (specifically the Human Origins program), where she works to help and engage and teach the public on evolution and archaeology.
Her current project is to teach the facts of evolution to school children in Alabama - a largely conservative, Christian state - in a way which is sensitive to their deeply-held religious beliefs.
MARK from Talk Beliefs talks with Ella about the challenges of presenting evolution in a place where it is often seen as not only incorrect - but immoral.
This interview was aired on the Talk Beliefs YouTube Channel, here: http://bit.ly/2WfttvX.
