It has been said, "Nothing makes sense in biology except
in the light of evolution". With this in mind we begin our
exploration of biology with a broad look at the process which
provides a conceptual framework for the study of life, evolution.
We examine the evidence for evolution and explore the history
of ideas from the early musings of Lamarck, through the revolutionary
insights of Darwin, to the current controversy in sociobiology
and evolutionary psychology. Finally, we will consider the relationship
between science and religion, exploring how these two important
ways of knowing the world might show mutual respect for one another.
