Discussing Evolution in the Middle East
posted on December 06, 2012 10:56PM GMT
Hey everyone
I'm from India and recently moved to Dubai for work. I've majored in Biological sciences and back in India I was assisting geologists in their excavation projects, from those trips I happened to learn some geology, paleontology etc, and having learned Evolutionary Biology in college I started giving lectures and conducting workshops for school children and general public on Natural History and evolution. Now that I have shifted to the UAE and noticed that there is a natural history society here, I would like to know what would be the response from the Arabic world if I start to conduct workshops and discussions on evolution? I do not want to be accused for Proselyting or Blasphemy as these are punishable here. Any Ideas, suggestions?
