Evolution Sunday
by TChris
Justice Sunday and Justice Sunday II received widespread media attention. If a day dedicated to ridding the courts of "activist judges" who refuse to advance a narrow religious agenda deserves coverage, shouldn't the news media also publicize a day dedicated to the reconciliation of religion and science?
Tomorrow is Evolution Sunday:
On 12 February 2006 hundreds of Christian churches from all portions of the country and a host of denominations will come together to discuss the compatibility of religion and science. For far too long, strident voices, in the name of Christianity, have been claiming that people must choose between religion and modern science. More than 10,000 Christian clergy have already signed The Clergy Letter demonstrating that this is a false dichotomy. Now, on the 197th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, many of these leaders will bring this message to their congregations through sermons and/or discussion groups. Together, participating religious leaders will be making the statement that religion and science are not adversaries. And, together, they will be elevating the quality of the national debate on this topic.
