He was the recipient of the Norman D Jones Science Award and was the Executive Producer of Evolution: The Grand Experiment video series. In his sophomore year of college, Dr. Carl Werner was challenged by a fellow classmate with these words: I bet you cant prove evolution. Disturbed by his classmates somewhat poignant criticisms of the theory, Dr. Werner (a biology major at the time) pondered this conversation for some time. From this point, he began his quest for an answer. Driven by his stringent scientific background and exceedingly curious nature, for the next 18 years, Dr. Werner read and researched every topic he could find on evolution, including geology, biology, paleontology, biochemistry and cosmology. Then, from 1997-2007 Dr. Werner traveled to the best museums and dig sites around the globe photographing thousands of original fossils and the actual fossil layers where they were found. He then authored the book EVOLUTION: THE GRAND EXPERIMENT, where he explains the framework for the theory of evolution to the public and enlightens the reader with scientific pros and cons offered by the some of the worlds most respected scientists interviewed during his travels. Dr. Werners hope is that this book series and an upcoming video series will be the starting point for a national discussion about evolution versus creation to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwins The Origin of Species.
