BBC NEWS | Europe | Vatican hosts Darwin conference

BBC NEWS | Europe | Vatican hosts Darwin conference

I heard about this recently on NPR. Reading the press release, I found it interesting that the Catholic church never condemned Darwin or his theories. There are scholars from all over the world taking part in this discussion; a discussion that I think is well overdue and may serve to bring science and faith a few steps closer. These two entities are often at odds but do not necessarily have to be. Science should inform our faith not destroy it.

Here are a few related articles worth reading:
