Ideas have consequences, and Charles Darwin’s idea that life developed through an unguided material process has had momentous consequences for both human thought and public policy. In this talk, award-winning author and filmmaker John G. West will discuss how Darwinian biology played a pivotal role in the development of eugenics, scientific racism, abortion, and other anti-life practices during the past century-and-a-half. He will also discuss current efforts to suppress the Darwinian roots of the devaluation of life--and why telling the true history of Darwinian social policy matters.

Join award-winning author and filmmaker John G. West as he explores some of the chilling ways science is being hijacked today to fuel the devaluation of life — and how new developments in the sciences can help us respond with hope rather than fear.
