Over 10,000 Christian Clergy Rebuke Intelligent Design
This may be the biggest covered up story in
history of American journalism! Ask yourself why?
I bumped into this while tracking coverage of the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Seems traditional churches are getting more than a little tired of fundamentalist cookbooks. This may be the biggest covered up story in history! Ask yourself why?
Within the community of Christian believers there are areas of dispute and disagreement, including the proper way to interpret Holy Scripture. While virtually all Christians take the Bible seriously and hold it to be authoritative in matters of faith and practice, the overwhelming majority do not read the Bible literally, as they would a science textbook. Many of the beloved stories found in the Bible – the Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah and the ark – convey timeless truths about God, human beings, and the proper relationship between Creator and creation expressed in the only form capable of transmitting these truths from generation to generation. Religious truth is of a different order from scientific truth. Its purpose is not to convey scientific information but to transform hearts.
“Evolution Sunday” was celebrated on the 197th anniversary of Darwin’s birthday. The call was to a dialogue on compatibility between religion and science — not the false dichotomy called for by those who are pushing “intelligent Design”.
I’m certain you read about it in your local newspaper, right? Yeah, right.
