One of the world’s most prominent Christian Darwinians spoke at two Texas universities this week, making a case for both evolution and theology.

Dr. Simon Conway Morris, a British paleontologist and professor of evolutionary paleobiology at Cambridge University, addressed faculty and students at Texas A&M and Baylor University on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, while visiting the state to receive the world-renowned Trotter Prize.

While in front of his audiences, the British scholar tried to emphasize the value of both science and religion, and how they are indeed compatible.
