In the News: Lavish 'Creation' |
From the article:
---------------------------------
As the debate over our origin continues, the Crystal Cathedral stages an
elaborate show merging religion and science

Creation may be the ultimate whodunit.
Was it God?
Was it evolution?
Was it both?
Or neither?
It's one more thing that Americans are divided about.
Polls show most believe God had some hand in creation ? though they don't agree
on whether it was direct or through evolution.
And while courts have struck down teaching biblically based creationism in
public schools, those rulings have not halted debate. More than a dozen states
are battling over whether to teach alternatives to Charles Darwin's theory of
evolution ? especially something called intelligent design, which argues that
nature is so complex that an intelligent designer had to have been involved.
Even scientists who believe in the godly version ? often referred to as creation
scientists ? are split.
The "young earth" camp of creation science, for example, holds that the world is
no more than approximately 10,000 years old, and regards the Genesis account in
the Bible as literally true, with God creating heaven and earth in six days,
followed by creating a day of rest ? or Sabbath ? on the seventh day. The "old
earth" devotees, on the other hand, say God's creation took billions of years
and that the days in Genesis symbolize long periods of time.
Now the Crystal Cathedral, Orange County's famed glass church, has stepped into
the fray with a multimedia, multimillion-dollar production that hopes to
appease both science and religion.

And what better way for a church to spend multiple millions of dollars!
