I stumbled upon this recent and interesting interview with Sir Charles Barlow, one of the great great grandsons of Charles Darwin. Darwin is the man who developed the theory of natural selection, the basic mechanism of evolution and who wrote the book,
The Origin of the Species. Through the interview I learned some interesting things about Charles Darwin and what he really believed.
Sir James Barlow came to a personal relationship with Jesus in 1979 at the Manchester
University in the UK-- Sir James has held positions within the business community as President of the Abbotsford ( a city about 1 and a half hours east of Vancouver) Chamber of Commerce and is now a Director of the BC Chamber of Commerce. In his personal life, Sir James serves as a deacon in his local Church, is involved in various wildlife organizations, and is also an ambassador for the Galapagos Conservation Trust.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I learned a lot about Darwin through the interview and it was all made more personal through his relative's sharing of the message. I actually have followed you publicly but for some reason my profile pic is not appearing on your follower widget. I've tried and tried to correct that. I think it has something to do with the Google Friend Connect program. I've never come across this issue before.
DeleteThat was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it Phillip.
DeleteVery interesting, Penny. I watched both videos, which somehow disconnected me from your blog, but I wanted to say thanks for posting these.
