Hugh Taft-Morales, Leader of the Baltimore Ethical Society and Co-Leader of the Ethical Society Without Walls, will give a platform address on "Evangelizing for Evolution".  Although Ethical Culture places deed before creed, there are few claims about reality more universally accepted within humanism than the theory of evolution.  Yet creationism is alive and well in the United States.  In preparing to celebrate Darwin Day next month, how can evolution satisfy human spiritual yearnings for experiences such as awe, humility, and a connection to something greater than ourselves? Can humanists ethically evangelize for evolution?
