Evolution Weekend 2009
February 13-15, 2009
Last year more than 800 congregations across the United States and beyond celebrated the compatability of faith and science. To find out how your congregation can participate email project founder Michael Zimmerman at mz@butler.edu. To find out about nearby events visit his site.
From Zimmerman: 12 February 2009 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Darwin, and the year is the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. Participation in Evolution Weekend is not meant to deify Darwin but to demonstrate the strong, positive interactions that religion and science can have. It is an opportunity to elevate the quality of the dialogue about this important relationship. Doing so is no less critical now than it has been since the legislatures of various states are currently attempting to move forward with legislation that would permit narrow religious instruction to become a part of the public school science classroom. Similarly, a group in England is moving forward with plans to build a multi-million dollar creationist theme park, similar to the one recently opened in Kentucky. Religious leaders and scientists need to band together to demonstrate to the public that religion and science need not be at war with one another. Please participate and please spread the word about The Clergy Letter Project. Together we are helping to shape perceptions around the globe.
