Joan Roughgarden is a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Stanford and teaches geophysics as well as a mathematical ecology. In her book, Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People, she challenges Darwin's theories and promotes a diversity-affirming model of biology and evolution. Her most recent work, Evolution and Christian Faith: Reflections of an Evolutionary Biologist, reflects on the relationship between science and religion.

This is from the Beyond Belief Conference of 2006. I have uploaded them in this format so that it may appeal to broad audience looking for both individual lectures and the entire series. Please, if you enjoy these, donate to The Science Network.

I urge you to check out The Science Network's site as it has more information about this and many other interesting subjects. They hold the copyright on this material (to my knowledge) and if they should want me to remove this, I will comply. In my defense, I just wanted to get this information out to as many people as possible.

  • Her apologist attitude has shown time and time again to be directly incompatible with both atheists and theists. She brings nothing to the table, absolutely nothing.

  • She's right about scientific dogmatism, but the fact remains that the majority of scientists will change their mind when confronted with enough evidence, no matter how much they had emotionally invested in the prevailing theory.

  • Weak appeals to vague mutterings in her hobby book (the bible) in support of her religious convictions. Poor.

  • @arthur78 yes it is true she made very good point

  • @mystisme I don't think she's boring. She's obviously not very comfortable with public speaking, but she made some very good points in my opinion.

  • @mystisme I don't think she's boring. She's obviously not very comfortable with public speaking, but she made very good points in my opinion and I'm glad she did.
