In his sophomore year of college, Dr. Carl Werner was challenged by a fellow classmate with these words: “I bet you can’t prove evolution.” Disturbed by his classmate’s somewhat poignant criticisms of the theory, Dr. Werner (a biology major at the time) pondered this conversation for some time. From this point, he began his quest for an answer.
Driven by his stringent scientific background and exceedingly curious nature, Dr. Werner read and researched every topic he could find on evolution, including geology, biology, paleontology, biochemistry and cosmology. After 18 years of study, Dr. Werner considered himself ready to begin a series of experiments by which to test evolution.
For the next 14 years, 1997-2011, Dr. Werner traveled to the best museums and dig sites around the globe photographing thousands of original fossils and the actual fossil layers where they were found.
In Volume 1, EVOLUTION: THE GRAND EXPERIMENT,
Dr. Werner explains the framework for the theory of evolution
to the public and enlightens the reader with scientific pros
and cons offered by the some of the world’s most respected scientists interviewed during his travels. The approach Dr. Werner takes in explaining some of his findings is both refreshing and appealing, always allowing the reader to reach their own conclusions. Of particular interest is that much of the information Dr. Werner presents in his book series (and video series) has not been previously heard by the public.
His hope is that this book series and ongoing video series will be the starting point for a national discussion about evolution to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species.
A Prayer to Humbly Serve This Maundy Thursday - Your Daily Prayer - March 28
Would you let Jesus wash your feet? Isn't it hard to imagine lifting our dirty toes to the King of Kings? None of us are worthy of his care and attention; yet in Christ's perfect love, he gives us nothing less. Does your human heart struggle like mine to serve others humbly as Jesus did?
