Have you heard of The Clergy Project? It's a document signed by over 10,000 clergy from around the country

Question

We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator. To argue that God’s loving plan of salvation for humanity precludes the full employment of the God-given faculty of reason is to attempt to limit God, an act of hubris. We urge school board members to preserve the integrity of the science curriculum by affirming the teaching of the theory of evolution as a core component of human knowledge. We ask that science remain science and that religion remain religion, two very different, but complementary, forms of truth

Answer 1

“…believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. …”
I totally agree and have been arguing this point!
Thanks for the link, I’ll pass it along to my pastor who also has great respect for science.

Answer 2

I believe in Evolution within kind-but what is taught in public school is a religion of athiesm-saying God cannot be mentioned-and to say it all came from nothing with age-meaning it had to have a creator to create it-and then go accidently against the second law of thermodynamics-everything goes from order to disorder-

and further humor of thinking thousands of molecules made a cell, by accident, and it became alive without a fairy-well

Moses would have a few more issues with you-and those who say some are attempting to lol Limit God-

evolution isnt a theory its a hypothisis-and "Professing themselves to be wise they became fools." Psalm 14 verse 1 the fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.

Isaiah 7vs14 says the sign/miracle will be born God with us (emanuel) not from a monkey

God Elohim (plural-as water steem and ice-3 forms of H2o-yet always H2o) God created man in His image

let us make man in our image-Genesis also

i don't agree that religion is form of truth when its based on superstitious untruths like miracles or things that could never have happened
here's an example "animal sacrifice and blood worshiping"
superstitious nonsense >>/\ __________ /\ ___/\
any judge that would let the criminal decide weather or not he is guilty instead of the law is a corupte judge
that makes your god imperfect because he has given up judgeing you
but instead lets his feellings for you to corupte his just and rightous he holds aginst you by letting you use a sacpgoat>"jesus"
where is the moral high ground in this
also
because he has given up on judgeing makes him a liar
because he says he will judge you and then he does not

Answer 4

I haven't heard of it, but if I were a clergyman, I would sign it. It's about time someone brought some rationality to the table.

Answer 5

These are the same idiot liberals who sign these types of statements all the time. They do it every election also. For every one of them, there are at least a thousand who hold the opposite view.

Answer 6

Sounds like they are trying to interject their mythological god into scientific fact. Won’t work. All gods are creations of man, period.

Answer 7

so why did god tell moses to write what he did in genesis 1:24

Answer 8

The first I've heard of this :-)
