Teaching Famous Creationist Will Duffy Evolutionary Theory (LIVE) The AGE of the EARTH

The title is the whole thing. I'm going to be administering an adapted version of the course I taught as a university instructor to Will Duffy! The course is a hybrid of general evolutionary theory and biological anthropology, and the goal is to teach Will what evolution is and why it is the foundation of modern biology. Will Duffy is a Colorado pastor, his fame primarily coming from debunking "The Flat Earth Model" by taking several well-known flat earth content creators to Antarctica to witness the 24 hour sun. Will is also a creationist who promised his audience he would learn about evolutionary theory to decide whether or not he finds it convincing. This is the first "episode" of what will likely be a year-long engagement: once per month I will administer one lecture to Will using the roadmap (subject to minor changes) below: NOVEMBER History of Evolutionary Thought- This will be a tour through the naturalists and scientists who discovered that species change over time, from the Greeks through Darwin. DECEMBER Mechanisms of Evolution- Mutation-Here we establish what mutations are, and how they drive evolutionary change by investigating DNA replication and protein synthesis. Real world examples of major evolutionary change by small genetic tweaks will be discussed. JANUARY Mechanisms of Evolution- Natural Selection, Gene Flow, Genetic Drift- The other three major mechanisms of evolution are outlined, including how each of them drives evolutionary change. FEBRUARY Introduction to Paleontology, Geology, and Biogeography- A primer on dating methods (how we know the Earth is 4.5 billion years old), how that bears on fossils and fossil formation, and how living and extinct species in physical space bolsters evolutionary theory. Include case studies on the fish-tetrapod transition and whale evolution. MARCH Nested Hierarchies- Genes and Traits: A primer on taxonomy and phylogeny using genes and physical characteristics. How do we get “species-level” family trees? Why can we trust they are accurate? APRIL Ontogeny and Evolutionary Legacies- A primer on how development (genetic pathways and physical characteristics) bolsters evolutionary theory. Case studies on how our bodies (and those of other animals) belie our evolutionary past. MAY A Tour through Deep Time- brief tour through deep time with a handful of small case studies on reconstructing ancient environments, mass extinctions, major fossil transitions of importance. Stop at the base of our major case study in evolution: humans. JUNE The Continuum of Human Behavior: How unique are humans with regard to other life? Is consciousness found elsewhere? Theory of Mind? Empathy and Cruelty? Creativity and Religion? Language? JULY Human Evolution: Apes and First Hominins- Where/When did humans split from other apes? What were the first members of our lineage like? Pulls from all previous lessons. AUGUST Human Evolution: Australopithecus and Kin- When did our relatives begin walking upright and using tools? How do we know these apes are related to us? Pulls from all previous lessons. SEPTEMBER Human Evolution: Genus Homo and Us- When did the first “humans” emerge and why? Why are we the only ones left? How does evolution explain modern human diversity? Pulls from all previous lessons. OCTOBER Putting It All Together: A synthesis of the previous 11 lessons as a capstone. NOVEMBER Will and I will discuss where we still disagree! 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? Check out StreamYard and get $10 discount! 😍 https://streamyard.com/pal/d/64719833...
