"Well-known evolution defender to make his argument at UAB."

October 19, 2009, 8:30PM

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Author and renowned evolution defender Kenneth R. Miller will see how his message plays in the Bible Belt when he presents the lecture "Darwin, God, & Design: America's Continuing Problem With Evolution" Nov. 5 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Miller is known for his support of teaching evolution and his stance against intelligent design, the view that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."
