An Open Letter Concerning Religion and Science

It's signed by over 10,000 clergy from around the country, including over 400 from Wisconsin.
We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, 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.

Perhaps next we'll read of clerical opinion on superstring theory, or Biology teachers will endorse the Q hypothesis.

The letter resulted from a campaign to protest

a series of anti-evolution policies passed by the school board in Grantsburg, WI.

The campaign was organized by
Michael Zimmerman
Dean
College of Letters and Sciences
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

So our tax or tithe dollars were at work on both sides of the controversy.

Dad29 has taken the trouble to search out our local Catholic clergy among the signers.
