“Shattering the Myth of Race,” a lecture by biologist Dave Unander from Eastern University (St. David’s, PA) on Tuesday evening, October 14, at 7:00 pm in Frey Hall 110. The Biblical command to demolish strongholds (II Corinthians 10:4-5) profoundly encompasses ideas and philosophies. The concept of race – that humanity is divided into a few distinct groups – has been a stronghold, and also illustrates how science is never fully objective. We will review the origin of the idea of “races”, its influence on history and science, and some Biblical and genetic reasons why “race” is an illusion. This is based on his book, Shattering the Myth of Race: Genetic Realities and Biblical Truths (Judson Press, 2000).
