Christian Churches Celebrate Darwin's Birthday

kthejoker writes "Today is the 197th anniversary of the great biologist Charles Darwin's birth. In response, some 450 Christian churches are celebrating Darwin's birth, saying, 'Darwin`s theory of biological evolution is compatible with faith and that Christians have no need to choose between religion and science.' There's also an interesting perspective on Darwinism and Christianity in the San Jose Mercury News."

    I can tell you the one thing I approve of in the Bush presidency:

    Longer Daylight Saving Time starting in 2007.

    Other than that, I can't say I've found anything to approve of. Of course, I was one of the 10% or so that disapproved of him right after 9/11, so you could say I'm rather hardcore in my disapproval of him.

    Nice... label my post as "flamebait", and label the obviously biased parent as "interesting"... oh yeah, we have a really un-biased moderation going on here. Slashdot liberalism stikes again. Congrats!

    You contrasted Bush to Hitler. Comparison deals with similar traits. Contrast deals with dissimilar traits.

    This matters? Talking about religion is like talking about Star Wars vs. Star Trek - it's completely detached from reality, and only done by pedantic nerds.
