Science and Faith - Together Again

One of my primary motivations for putting together this blog was to dispell the myth of any non-compatibility between science and faith.

It seems that there are many people also of this view. So much so, that Evolution Weekend will be celebrated in many churches around the globe. This year, the weekend (Feb 13-15) marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. It is also described as
...an opportunity for serious discussion and reflection on the relationship between religion and science, and to demonstrate that religious people from many faiths and locations understand that evolution is sound science and poses no problems to their faith.

The website for the event also contains a clergy letter signed by 11,000 Christian clergy. The weekend also aims to make clear that those claiming people must choose between religion and science are creating a false dichotomy. Their aim is also to demonstrate that religion and science have much to offer each other.

Bravo!
