"I've argued for years that this problem is more about bad theology than
about bad science. It is therefore the churches who need to stand up to the
issue and say somthing. But then it comes down to the general public,
churched or not, not having much interest in science, so your basic preacher
doesn't see the need to spend any time on the topic?"
-I wouldn't necessarily advocate that. Preachers are trained primarily as
theologians and bible scholars and I beleive an extremely conservative view
of origins is quite common among those communities, for example here at DTS
from what I've heard from people. The real issue is finding folks people
trust as knowledgable of the bible who also have a good understanding of
science. That isn't an easy task.
