I just opened up my browser and realized that it has been an entire week since I posted anything, so I figured that I should at least give our readers an update.

For the last two weeks, I have been teaching my Honors Biology classes all about evolution. So far, things have gone pretty well. We've covered the basics of evolutionary theory, looked at some of the evidence that demonstrates evolution has occurred, and we just began learning about the mechanisms that drive microevolutionary change. You can check out what we've been up to by following along on the weekly outline page at Mr. Mohn's Biology Home Turf.

In other news, Cheryl and I both attended a lecture by Ken Miller at K-State last Thursday night. I had planned to write up a post about the lecture, but things have been rather hectic at home since I got back late Thursday night. If you've ever watched any of his lectures on YouTube, you already have a pretty good idea of what he had to say.

The really cool part of the evening was after the lecture when Cheryl and I were invited to join Dr. Miller and several other defenders of REAL science at a Manhattan establishment for a post-lecture conversation. As you might imagine, Ken Miller is quite the story-teller. It was really fun getting to hear him tell some of the behind-the-scenes versions of his experiences as the country's favorite theistic evolutionist.

There was this one story about a televised debate between Dr. Miller and a Discovery Institute fellow that didn't quite turn out...ummmm...well...I guess you just had to be there to hear the story.

All I can say is that it was definitely a memorable evening.
