Across the Irish Sea Darwinian natural science caused great consternation. Sectarian rivalry, who should control higher education, and an infamous speech by the President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science all fed into the Belfast backlash against evolution.
Since their inception in 1888, the Gifford Lectures have become the foremost intellectual event dealing with religion, science and philosophy. Lectures are given in the ancient Universities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. Andrews.
Professor David Livingstone, OBE FBA, Queen’s University, Belfast will deliver the 2014 Gifford Lectures at the University of Aberdeen on the subject of Dealing with Darwin: Place, Politics and Rhetoric in Religious Engagements with Evolution.
