February 8 - Darwin's Birthday to be Celebrated in Church this Sunday: Liberal Christianity Supports Darwinism

Article: Unbiblical Christianity

What will be the focus of attention in your church this Sunday? For many liberal churches and synagogues, Charles Darwin will have his day of glory in services this weekend. Sunday February 12, Darwin's birthday, is the centerpiece of the 2012 "Evolution Weekend" event invented by The Clergy Letter Project.

Here is how the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), the leading Darwin-only educational advocacy organization, advertises the annual "Evolution Weekend" and it host organization, The Clergy Letter Project: The brainchild of Michael Zimmerman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University, the Clergy Letter Project was founded in 2004; its activities include a similar letter for Christian clergy, currently endorsed by over 11,000 members [now 13,000] of the clergy across the country and around the world; a pool of scientists willing to work with clergy on promoting scientific literacy; a collection of sermons, articles, readings, and websites relevant to the Clergy Letter Project's goals; and Evolution Weekend (formerly Evolution Sunday), in which religious leaders are encouraged to discuss the compatibility of faith and science in their sermons, Sabbath or Sunday schools, and discussion groups, on or about Darwin's birthday....

The Darwinists at the NCSE are delighted to have 13,000 clergy preaching a Darwin-friendly faith. Although Eugenie Scott, NCSE's Executive Director was awarded the American Humanist Association's 1998 Isaac Asimov Science Award, she has done her best to appear religiously neutral.

To help break down resistance to accepting Darwinism in public schools, Dr. Scott advocates sending students out to "interview their pastors and priests about evolution" (provided that "conservative Christian" viewpoints don't dominate that particular community, in which case she does not recommend this approach).

The NCSE hopes to increase the number of Darwin-friendly places of weekend worship, and thus promotes The Clergy Letter Project and its "Evolution Weekend."
