Yesterday the students in the Department of Life Science held a celebration for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin. My colleagues and I attended, took in the various displays, and had a piece of cake. Being an alum of that department I wanted to go to support the work the students put into having a party for which they invited an entire campus. Near and dear to my heart was the beetle collection, having spent many hours in the field doing an insect collection myself, constructing transect lines and surveying the plant preferences of the Monarch butterfly.
We received criticism from other colleagues who thought that a Christian college should not be supporting such an activity. I guess they didn't realize that what Darwin didn't theorize about is the fact that when cake is served people will come.

Just think of all the hours of conversation and discussion generated by Charles Darwin's and the subject of evolution.
"Have cake, I'll be there" has always been my motto.
