Rejecting the Darwin Schism
From Monday’s The Augusta Chronicle …
“One Sunday a year the Unitarian Universalist Church of Augusta celebrates its members’ birthdays.
They cut 12 cakes, one for each month of birthdays, and invite people of all ages to sit and eat. This year the festivities included one 200-year-old with a Unitarian background: Charles Darwin.
The Darwin Day celebration is one of many worldwide to mark the bicentennial of the scientist’s birth, in addition to 150 years since the publication of The Origin of Species.
The church included a science fair in its service, and a benediction from Darwin’s seminal work, controversial still for the case it makes for evolution through natural selection.”
