Karl Giberson Lecture

Wrestling with DarwinPhoto of Giberson with books

Karl Giberson was raised in a fundamentalist parsonage and entered college in 1975 intending to become a creation scientist and join the fight against evolution. While studying science at college he became convinced that evolution was true and, with much struggle and angst, abandoned his childhood belief in creationism. Karl's personal story mirrors that of America in the decades since Darwinism came ashore and challenged the country's traditional creation story. This is the story of both Karl's personal struggle to make peace with evolution and that of a deeply religious country, as it engages the same struggle.
