Julie Wade on Bonobos, Faith and Genetics

This coming Sunday our own Dr. Julie Wade will lead the discussion on the origins of our faith and seen through the lens of comparative behavior. Julie will share some thoughts regarding a new book called “The Atheist and the Bonobo”.   Chimpanzees share 98% of their DNA with humans but they show some disturbing behaviors that are not typically human.  The bonobo, on the other hand, shows many more characteristics that humans share such as a love for peace, compassion, and making love, not war.  Is our behavior influenced by genetics or our faith? 
Please be warmly encouraged to join us for a delightful, interesting discussion
