Common misconceptions about evolution are explained in this narrated slideshow. Students can also view four lectures videos pertaining to evolution from the HHMI Holiday Lecture Connections. In the Fossils, Genes, and Embryos 7:38-8:35 video, Dr. David Kingsley explains why vestigial eyes in cave animals are inconsistent with notions of intelligent design. In the Evolution: Fossils, Genes and Mousetraps video, Dr. Kenneth Miller describes the nature of scientific theories. In the Fossils, Genes, and Embryos 28:44-29:34 video, Dr. David Kingsley explains that the theory of evolution describes descent with modification, not the origin of life or the universe. And finally, in the last video Reconciling Religion and Science, Father James Wiseman explains why the theory of evolution is consistent with his faith as a Christian.
