BEING HUMAN Episode 3 with Jason Wiles | Humanist Canada Television Series (2010–2015)

In this episode of Being Human, biology professor Jason Wiles explores one of the most widely misunderstood topics in science: evolution. From common misconceptions about evolutionary theory to the ongoing efforts of creationist movements to challenge its place in science education, Jason explains why evolution remains the foundation of modern biology. He also examines how religious fundamentalism has shaped public debates over evolution and why scientific literacy is essential to understanding both the natural world and the role of science in society. About Being Human: Originally produced for VisionTV in the early 2010s, Being Human brought a humanist perspective to Canadian television through thoughtful conversations with leading voices from across Canada and around the world. As with any program from a previous era, some discussions, language, or perspectives may reflect the time in which they were recorded and may not align with current understandings or the views of our organization today. We are pleased to share this archival series as a reflection of our history and the ongoing evolution of humanist thought. Special thanks to former Humanist Canada President Simon Parcher for preserving these recordings and making them available to a new audience. Subscribe to follow the series as we release one episode each week and revisit the conversations that helped bring humanist ideas to a wider audience. #humanism #secularism #secularhumanism #atheism #evolution
