Conflict Between Religion and Evolution Cleared TEACHINGS EXPLAINED Lecture Given at Meeting of College Professors Although it has become a gener ally accepted fact that the theory of evolution, as expounded by Charles Darwin, in no way conflicts ■with religion and it is granted by large numbers of men, in the clergy and out, that this process of biology is merely a part of a universal sys tem and does not conflict with the conception of divine creation, there is still controversy and agitation over the matter in current litera ture. In an effort to clarify this breach between two great branches of modern education and thought a thorough statement of the contro versy and discussion of the duty of scientists of today in dispelling any misconceptions of the teaching of science and its relation to re ligion was led by Dr. II. B. Yocom, of the zoology department, at the quarterly meeting of the American Association of University Profes sors, which was held on Monday evening at the College Side Inn. “Dr. Yocom gave a very careful statement of the controversy,” stated Professor E. E. DeCou, president of the local group here. Dr. Smith Talks He was followed by Dr. W. D. Smith, of the department of geol ogy, who spoke on several aspects of the same subject. A general dis cussion resulted in the explanation that the layman’s misunderstanding of the purpose of the teaching of science was responsible for the popular misconception that science opposes religion. It lies with the scientists to clear up this misunderstanding, accord ing to the conclusion reached at this meeting, by popularizing the fundamental facts of biology parti cularly. It was pointed out in the courso of the discussion that scientists are not in any way try ing to bring up theories opposing : eligion, but that their purpose has been obscuro in some instances and, therefore, subject to misinterpreta tion. Value Is Shown In familiarizing the layman with the common facts of life, as they are observed on every side, it will be possible to show those opposed to the teachings of scionce its real value in illuminating somo of the heretofore “mysteries” of lifo. Several questions for discussion at the next meeting of the asso ciation wore suggested. The pur pose and scope of summer sessions, possibilities of simplifying univer sity registration, and methods of increasing intellectual interest and raising the intellectual standards of undergraduates were proposed.
