Christian Churches Celebrate Darwin's Birthday

Posted by Zonk on from the we-love-you-unca-darwin dept.

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 find it promising that this gap between religion and science is finally being bridged. Will this bring about a closer relationship with religion and science? Perhaps the field of genetic/stem cell research is next to be discussed openly between these two groups. One can only hope.
