Christians and Evolution
'WorldWatch' by Richard T. RitenbaughFebruary 12 marks the birthday of Charles Darwin, the originator of the Theory of Evolution, a concept that has been celebrated through Darwin Day and Evolution Weekend. Darwin Day was initiated by an atheist named Robert Stephens to honor Darwin's contributions to science. Evolution Weekend, originally known as Evolution Sunday, was started in 2006 by evolutionary biologist Michael Zimmerman to accommodate various worship days. This event is supported by the Clergy Letter Project, which encourages clergy from diverse faiths to sign a letter accepting evolutionary theory as a core component of human knowledge. A significant number of clergy, about 13,000 mostly American and from Christian denominations, have signed this letter, with around 550 churches planning to participate in Evolution Weekend this year. However, this represents only 2.6% of over half a million clergy in the U.S. and just 0.2% of the approximately 270,000 congregations in America. Participation has declined nearly 50% from a high of 1,049 churches in 2009. The participating churches are predominantly from the liberal wings of mainline denominations such as Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist, along with Unitarian Universalist and United Church of Christ congregations. Some are not even Christian, including Muslim and Reform Jewish groups, alongside secular humanistic organizations. Evolution Weekend remains confined to a small number of ultra-liberal churches and secular groups, yet it highlights the persistent push by anti-God groups to advance their agendas. Their influence continues to grow as time progresses, impacting society over recent generations in America and beyond.
