Subject: RE: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
another group heard from:

United Methodist Church General Conference, the only entity that speaks for the United Methodist Church, makes these three statements regarding evolution:
•        "We find that science's descriptions of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution are not in conflict with theology." (¶ 160. F. The Book of Discipline 2008)
•        "The General Conference of The United Methodist Church goes on record as opposing the introduction of any faith-based theories such as Creationism or Intelligent Design into the science curriculum of our public schools." (Resolution 5052 of The Book of Resolutions 2008)
•        "[The United Methodist Church] endorses The Clergy Letter Project and its reconciliatory programs between religion and science, and urges United Methodist clergy participation." (From resolution 1027 of The Book of Resolutions 2008)

WOW Christians who recognize that Creationism is not only NOT Science, but should be kept out any science curriculum. Nice to know that there are those who want to avoid a repeat of the Dark Ages.
