Mathematics and Evolution - Oh No!

Presentation by Steve Grimes

How does Darwin’s theory of evolution hold up under the scrutiny of mathematics?
Spoiler alert: It fails dramatically.

Discoveries in the sciences of Genetics and Biochemistry since Darwin provide multiple opportunities for examining the claims of evolution through a mathematical lens. This talk surveys the mountains of improbability in three areas that defy Darwinian explanation.

  • DNA/Protein Amino Acid Sequences

  • Population Genetics

  • Origin of Life

You won’t have to be a math wizard to follow the argument either. If you can follow equations like these, you’ll be able to follow this talk:

  • 10 x 10 = 100

  • 10 x 100 = 1000

No cost, all are welcome


Park on the east side of the church, and use the walkway on the east side (not the Worship Center entrance).
More parking across Shirley Ln, behind old Jimmy John’s).
