Harvard joins evolution debate

Filed under:

Cambridge: Theory of Evolution has been standard in most public school science texts for decades but recently re-emerged in the spotlight as communities and some states debated whether school children should also be taught about creationism or intelligent design.
The “Origins of Life in the Universe Initiative” is still in its early stages, scientists told the Boston Sunday Globe. “My expectation is that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of logical events that could have taken place with no divine intervention,” said David R Liu, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard.
Harvard University is joining the long-running debate over the theory of evolution by launching a research project to study how life began. The team of researchers will receive $1million in funding annually from Harvard over the next few years. The project begins with an admission that some mysteries about life’s origins cannot be explained
