Churches stand up to Creationists and participate in Evolution Sunday |
Christian faith in the other good book
Flocks of the Christian faithful in the US will this Sunday hold special
services celebrating Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The idea is to stand
up to creationism, which claims the biblical account of creation is literally
true, and which is increasingly being promoted under the guise of "intelligent
design". Proponents of ID say the universe is so complex it must have been
created by some unnamed designer.
Support for "Evolution Sunday" has grown 13 per cent to 530 congregations this
year, from the 467 that celebrated the inaugural event last year. Organisers see
it as increasing proof that Christians are comfortable with evolution.
