...or, how religion provides evolutionary benefits to believers -- contrary to the claims of antireligionists, who'd have you believe religion is the cause of all wars and unhappiness and what-all else that plagues the world and therefore we'd be better off without it. Or maybe not.

(For that matter, religious people tend to live longer than the non-religious -- more here and here.)

We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We 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. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator.
