What Rubbish
February 15, 2007
Did you know that this past Sunday more than 600 congregations around the world observed “Evolution Sunday” which celebrates the birth of Charles Darwin? Ethics Daily reports,
Michael Zimmerman, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University, started Evolution Sunday after working with about 200 Wisconsin clergy in 2004 to prepare a statement challenging anti-evolution policies by a school board in Grantsburg, Wis.
If people are so interested in establishing a new Church observance, how about “Non-Conformity Sunday” in which they pledge their love not of Darwin, but of God’s act of creation.
Stories like these make it more than self evident that the Church is only alive because God wishes it to be. Were it not so, such foolishness would have swept every congregation off the face of the planet decades ago.
