Church of England holds out its hand to Darwinism

Well, it's something, I suppse, in the midst of all this religious fundamentalist hysteria and its attack on science.

As Dr Huxley said of the REv Dr Wilberforce, one of Darwins severest critics, after Wilberforce had been pitched off his horse and died from a resultant head trauma;

"I believe that this is the first time that the real world had ever contacted the good Doctors brain"

I believe the Anglican Church may soon proffer a position regarding Heliocentrism

More churches should do this. They probably have more to fear from fundamentalism than science does.

Only one thing a fundie hates worse than evilution, and that's a different fundie thumping on a different bible.

Has anyone noticed that the US political campaigns have begun using the Creationist tactic of simply repeating lies over and over again. It's been done before of course, but it seems more prevalent now. I think they have recognized a fundamental shift in the way information is processed by people. There is now so much information available that people are no longer able to determine veracity based on volume. It reminds me of that CareerBuilder ad where all the amateur tennis players run onto the court and over-run the pros.

The Roman Catholic Church hadn't mentioned Darwin and evolution for nearly centuries, officially at least.

Only now, Benedict seems to turn away from a more benevolent view and look at it through his conservatively black painted glasses ...

the church of england is infinitely accommodating

both its weakness and its strength.

i think religion and science are pursuing the same object...truth.

the difference is that religion uses metaphysics, guesswork and dogma, and science uses evidence and logic.

i know where i stand
