Epigenetics... or Does Darwin Need a Rethink?

The San Diego chapter of Reasons to Believe is privileged to have Dr. Vaughn Mancha to present the topic of Epigenetic in our February 18th 5 pm PST.

The field of epigenetics is causing a major disruption in the field of evolution. Epigenetics can be described as the study of heritable phenotype changes that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. This is in contrast with Darwin’s explanation of changes in the DNA via random mutations with natural selection. A recent news article reports "Current estimates are that approximately one-third of professional academic biologists who do not believe in intelligent design find Darwin’s theory is inadequate to describe all of the complexity in biology. In this presentation, Dr. Vaughn Mancha will describe how epigenetics best explains the biological complexities of genetic change and why it is so disruptive to Darwin’s theory of evolution.
