"Recently several prominent organizations in the
scientific
community have also taken care to express a view
that there is
not an inherent conflict between evolution and
religious belief. A
1998 National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report
promoting
the teaching of evolution in public schools begins
with the
statement "Whether God exists or not is a question
about which
science is neutral." At the news conference at
which the report
was released, members of the drafting panel
emphasized that
most religions have no conflict with evolution and
that many
scientists are religious. Speaking for the National
Academy, its
president Bruce Alberts said that "There are many
outstanding
members of this academy who are very religious
people, people
who believe in evolution, many of them
biologists."71 Similarly in
1997 the National Association of Biology Teachers
revised its
"Statement on the Teaching of Evolution" to remove
the words
"unsupervised," and "impersonal" which to some
implied
atheism.72"
"Voices for Evolution, a compilation of statements published by
the National Center for Science Education, includes
texts from
15 major religious organizations supporting the
teaching of
evolution in public schools.73 These include the
Roman Catholic
Church, the United Methodist Church, the United
Presbyterian
Church in the U.S.A., the Lutheran World
Federation, the
Episcopal Church, the American Jewish Congress, and
the
Central Conference of American Rabbis. "
