In ethics it’s resulted in moral relativism and evolving standards of right and wrong. Stifling of free speech.  Religious free speech is stifled because evolutionists and materialists control the definition of right and wrong. In conclusion, Dr. West will discuss recent developments in the debate over evolution and what they bode for the future.
