Churches to mark Darwin's birthday

"Nearly 450 Christian churches around the country plan to celebrate the 197th birthday of Charles Darwin on Sunday with programs and sermons intended to emphasize that his theory of biological evolution is compatible with faith and that Christians have no need to choose between religion and science."

Since I've made a number of posts against those fundamentalists who pretend to be Christian, I thought it'd be nice to present some true Christians for a change.

As you can see, not all Christians are as irrational as those who work to force a medieval theocracy on us all. There are plenty who actually value true science, and understand the difference between facts and faith. But unfortunately they don't make for good media coverage like those who call on Gods' wrath to punish those that don't believe as they do.

The media spends a lot of time highlighting the opinions of these radicals, even to the extent of helping promote the illusion that their opinions are wide spread. A previous post on the CBS Poll: Majority Reject Evolution, shows what I think, as just one lame attempt.

So far, the not-so-Christians' attempts at subverting an already troubled education system have failed:

Even the Cathlic Church has had to step up and speak on the subject to try and restore reason:

Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party

Unlike the radicals, true American Christians understand it's not the business of government or any of its' institutions to impose a religious belief, no matter how it's disguised. They acknowledge the original Founders fears, and resulting prohibition, against rule by religion.
