https://gga.ncsu.edu/gga-special-seminar-ken-miller-brown-university/Ken Miller is a cell biologist and professor emeritus of biology at Brown University, but he is best known for his work discussing the teaching of evolution and the relationship between science and religion. Miller and Joseph S. Levine co-authored four popular biology textbooks used in schools nationwide. His co-authorship of these textbooks led to Miller's involvement in science advocacy when he was called as a witness in several court cases in the early 2000s, disputing the teaching of intelligent design in science curriculums. Since these appearances, Miller has written three books on evolution and religion. The books covered the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District court case and human evolution and reason.
Miller will share his expertise in the relationship between the scientific understanding of evolution and faith at a special seminar at NC State. Miller's lecture is titled "Human Evolution: What Does It Mean for Science, Humanism and Faith?"
The Genetics and Genomics Academy and the Genetic Engineering and Society Center are the event hosts. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Biological Sciences are event co-sponsors.
