Mississippi Gulf Coast Atheist and Freethinking Association Monthly Meetup

(North off Pass Road, about 1/3 mile East of Hwy 49)

3 pm MEETUP, 5 pm POTLUCK

We will celebrate DARWIN DAY - Again with guest speaker

Brian Axsmith, Professor of Biology at U of South Alabama.

His topic will be:

Triassic Park: How the Solite Quarry site proves deep time.

"I will discuss my research with several paleontological colleagues spanning over 20 years at the Solite Quarry Site on the North Carolina Virginia Border. This amazing fossil locality preserves a 225 million year old giant lake environment including plants, insects, and even reptiles with the skin preserved. I will discuss how these fossils fit into the picture of evolution at this important time in earth history. I will also discuss how this work conclusively refutes the creationist idea of a young earth and the universal flood, and reaffirms many of Darwin's insights on evolution and the antiquity of the planet."

This will be a joint meeting with MS Gulf Coast Humanists (http://www.facebook.com/groups/AHA.Gulfport.Biloxi/) :
