Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on what it truly means to be human. The Bible teaches that humans were created just a little less than angels and made in the image of God, while Darwin's theory of evolution suggests that we share common ancestors with animals. Are we merely animals, or do we hold a special role in the universe? This program will explore these contrasting views, diving into the responsibilities that come with being human if we are indeed a unique creation. With a blend of theological and scientific perspectives, this session will offer a deep look into our origins, purpose, and the responsibilities that shape our lives. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in this fascinating exploration. This program is being presented with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
