Darwin Sunday

Churches Celebrate Darwin's Birthday

The churches say Darwin's theory of biological evolution is compatible with faith and that Christians have no need to choose between religion and science. (United Press International, Sunday, February 12, 2006).

Nearly 450 Christian churches in the United States [celebrated] the 197th birthday of Charles Darwin Sunday.

The churches say Darwin's theory of biological evolution is compatible with faith and that Christians have no need to choose between religion and science, the Chicago Tribune reported.

"It's to demonstrate, by Christian leaders and members of the clergy, that you don't have to make that choice. You can have both," said Michael Zimmerman, dean of the College of Letters and Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, who organized the Evolution Sunday event.

[TBC: It is instructive to consider how many issues are simply the rebellion of men who have embraced Satan's question in the garden, "Yea, hath God said."]
