Science in Christian Perspective

Letter

Evolution

From: JASA 15 (June 1963): 67.

I am quite disgusted with the constant harping on evolution and Christian dogma. We've had two hundred years to talk about this particular topic, and nothing has changed of any consequence in the thinking of extreme conservatives, middle of the roader's, or liberal Christians. Furthermore we haven't even dented the scientific community with our feelings. To put it briefly, I hope that the ASA can find a more challenging spirit in the sciences than the problem of evolution.
