| KENNETH
R. MILLER TO SPEAK AT CONVOCATION
 ADRIAN,
Mich. – Kenneth R. Miller, a professor of biology
at Brown University, is a preeminent evolutionary scientist
and the author of the most widely used high school biology
textbooks in America. He is scheduled to speak on Nov.
8 at 12:15 p.m. in Dawson Auditorium as part of the
Dr. James Borland Convocation speaker series.
Miller is the author of the acclaimed
book, “Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist’s
Search for Common Ground between God and Evolution.”
A firm believer in evolution, he is
one of America's foremost experts on the subject, but
he also believes in God—and he doesn't think the
two beliefs to be mutually exclusive. He contends that,
properly understood, evolution adds depth and meaning
not only to a strictly scientific view of the world,
but also to a spiritual one.
Miller has also written major articles
for numerous scientific journals and magazines, including
Nature, Scientific American, Cell, and Discover. He
has also appeared on PBS as a scientific commentator.
He currently lives in Rehoboth, Mass.
Convocation is free and open
to the public. Dawson Auditorium is located off Charles
Street.
