"Science, Religion, and the Teaching of Evolution in Public School Science Classes"
Saturday, April 22, 2006
Extremists in the Religious Right are doing everything in their power these days to kick real science of out schools to be replaced with various forms of conservative theologies. Many if not most Christians reject such efforts outright and support the teaching of evolution, for example, and oppose the teaching of creationism or so-called intelligent design.
The National Council of Churches USA has published a short but informative brochure on the teaching of evolution in our public schools and I commend this as a resource for you to pass on to educators, parents and students in your congregations. It refutes the opponents of science on our classrooms and explains why and how science and religion can and should coexist.
