The Memphis Chapter of Hadassah Jewish Educator’s Council will present “Creation, Evolution and Intelligent Design,” a panel discussion at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Benjamin L. Hooks library at 3030 Poplar.

Featured panelists include Dr. Keith Pecor, author and faculty fellow at Rhodes College; Rabbi Aaron Rubinstein of Beth Sholom Synagogue; and Dr. Thomas Lindberg of First Assembly of God Church. Dr. Cynthia Gingold, a member of Hadassah’s Leadership Academy and the Jewish Educator’s Council, will serve as moderator.

The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call 624-7307.

Dr. Pecor calls evolution “the most important topic in biology” and quotes someone saying that the whole branch of science is impossible to study without the lens of evolution. All of his published articles are about crayfish.

I find very little on Rabbi Aaron Rubinstein’s views outside of his participation in a “forty hour fast” for an increase in the minimum wage.

Same goes for Dr. Thomas Lindberg; Google notes little other than his pro-life and pro-marriage activity.
